I have 4 major medical problems and take 10 drugs each day to cope
with them. I was able to get a 3rd class medical certificate,
however. You need to work through your AME.
Maybe you can get your doc(s) to say you are safe flying. NB: Once
the Special Issuance Process is started, you must complete it within
30 days and will have to restart if you don't get all the paperwork
done. Read 14 CFR 67.113(b) (c), 67.213(b) (c) and 67.313(b) (c).
My certificate was issued under 67.401. Good luck.

thanks
is tramadol one of the drugs you are taking?
