Default Anti-depressants & 3rd class medical - possible?

Bummer. Problem is, my condition is a chronic form of mild depression,
so going off the meds is not a good option. Looks like I'm grounded.

Assuming that your problem doesn't interfere with your ability to safely
operate an aircraft and, (as it appears) you have had enough sense to not
go out and flunk a medical, then the Light Sport option is still open. You
can have one heck of a lot of fun in an old Cub or a 65 horse T-Craft.
Newer LSA's are out there with a more modern look and cockpit as well. Your
basic limits would only be on the number of seats (2), maximum speed and no
IMC...

Gliders are another option that give you a lot of bang for the buck.
