Let me preface that I have read the searched and have been in contact with a HIMS AME already.
I'm curious if anyone has experience with obtaining a medical with anxiety treatment in their history. From 2014-2017 I took xanax around once a week for work related stress/anxiety (diagnosed as Anxiety - Unspecified). My HIMS AME says the FAA does not give AME's much guidance on Anxiety disorders so it's difficult to say with certainty how this will pan out.
Most other mental health disorders and the FAA's stance are stated clearly online (Adjustment disorders, various types of depression, etc), but there is nothing regarding specific anxiety disorders. I'm currently waiting for my initial AME appointment to start the official process and still trying to obtain as much information from the experience of others as possible.
