I lost my medical, what do I do?
Read the medical application form, doctor treatments are
required to be reported. If he is clear of the underlying problem and no longer taking the medication, he will get his medical certificate. -- James H. Macklin ATP,CFI,A&P -- The people think the Constitution protects their rights; But government sees it as an obstacle to be overcome. some support http://www.usdoj.gov/olc/secondamendment2.htm See http://www.fija.org/ more about your rights and duties.

The underlying condition will need to be reported. If he is taking the med
for what it is primarily used for he will have to get a waiver. "Toks Desalu" wrote in message news:JXHGf.1622$Tb.393@trndny01... But, what if he complete the treatment before the next medical exam? |

You won't get a waiver for depression. In fact, you won't get any kind of a waiver while on an antidepressant. |

The problem you are going to have is not so much the medication as the underlying condition. Hop over to the AOPA web site and read this... http://www.aopa.org/members/files/medical/psych2.html |

My condition is Social Anxiety Disorder, which I have been told my both
my doctor, and AOPA that is not an issue in itself. The issue is the medication they have me on to treat it. I've had symptioms of SAD since I was in middle school, yet I was able to get all my flight training through CFI done with the condition, so the SAD is no factor. I actually never thought about getting a wavier. I have no idea how this thing works. I glanced over part 67 and saw no mention of a wavier subpart, maybe I'll look into that a little more closley tonight. Does anyone have any experience with getting a medical wavier? Is the atitude over at the FAA along the lines of "banned medication = no medical under any circumstances" or is it up for case-to-case review? |

Find a doctor that will treat you without drugs, drugs are
not a requirement for treatment of a thought process. I had an anxiety disorder about whether I'd ever have sex, but after a few years an older girl took action and I found out I wasn't as anxious anymore. So find a doctor that talks and ditch the doctor who peddles drugs.

Personally, I'd stop taking the medication and find a doctor who will get to the root of the problem. Did you report the medication to the FAA? What was the AME's reaction? |

Maybe its something like a broken fight-or-flight switch ...where meds would help. What if the root of the problem is something akin to emotional epilepsy? Meds please. All I know is my own experience. When I was a freshman in college, I was told I had "depression". I never took the meds that were prescribed. What I couldn't put a finger on then, and know now, was that what I was feeling was homesickness, stress, loneliness. Really, college is a huge adjustment, and without a good support system, anyone will go a little crazy. It was NOT depression. The problem is, most doctors are so quick to diagnose anyone who's not happy as having clinical depression. It's simply not true. Are there some cases that need meds? Sure. But I bet you a lot of them are like I was. |
