Good comments, but a couple of mis-conceptions in general with several
postings. First of all, the preponderance of medical opinion is that SSRI medications do not impair a pilot. My neighbor is a heart surgeon and he takes a stronger dose than I do. Whether or not the underlying diagnosis is an impairment is a case-by-case issue. With rare exceptions, people taking SSRIs are not suicidal or about to go 'postal'. Unfortunately, the FAA has lumped everyone together -- not by medical condition, but by the medication alone without exception. This is similar to fixing an age limit -- no one flys after 65 regardless of your condition. With regard to Navy pilots, I think Daniel is confusing SSRIs with other anti-anxiety meds. It takes from 3 to 4 weeks for SSRI meds to have an effect. My doc. is an ex-Navy flight surgeon and he was the one who told me he regularly prescribed SSRIs to Navy pilots -- based at home. Incorrect, at least partially. A new pilot may NOT qualify for an SP ticket if taking a medication OR having a medical condition which may impair their ability to fly safely. In the case of combat carrier pilots, SSRI's are prescribed for their anti-anxiety effects. Extreme anxiety is a very natural and normal consequence of air combat, but has very negative effects on combat pilots' abilities to keep themselves alive, hence the prescription - normally a single preflight dose.

Screw the FAA...if I feel fine...I'm fly'in!...if I dont...then I
wont....and thats the way it is. "Ron Wanttaja" wrote in message ... On 3 Sep 2004 10:22:51 -0700, (Michael) wrote: Antidepressants are against FAA policy; depression is not. That's because real men don't need antidepressants. They handle their depression the old fashioned way - drinking and womanizing. I'd love to see their faces at Walgreen's when you drop THAT prescription on the counter.... :-) Ron Wanttaja |
