Line Up and Wait
'Hello Dr. Fowler, I'm looking for a Ame and I've seen your name mentioned on the internet as someone who is effective in dealing with the FAA and a great overall AME. I was hoping you could tell me if you think I have a chance at getting a special issuance based on a short summary of my case.
Here goes:
- I was kidnapped and treated by psychiatrists
- I was diagnosed with PTSD, Depression/Anxiety and ADHD
- treated with citalopram for a year, followed by citalopram/risperdal for a year, then a month of adderall, then finally tried buproprion for a month
- I have been stable and off all medication for 4 years.
- I actively used cannabis including having a medical card for 1 year. I had 2 run ins with the police and was charged with misdemeanor possession both times. I have not used cannabis in 3 years, though I don't have any documentation to show my abstinence.
Everything I have read online leads me to think getting a medical with this history is going to be nearly impossible or very hard.I discovered a passion for flying before I learned of the medical requirements, so I am pretty determined to make it through the process if it is at all possible.
Thanks for your time.'
