Hey everyone, Just wanted to update the status of the process. About a week ago I went and saw my PPC and received my statement stating reasons for the medication, stability, and etc. The next step was to find a psychiatrist, which wasn’t as easy as I thought. Everyone I spoke with asked...

Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update. As I work on gathering my info, I reached out to the suggested dr for my cog exam. I was told for my situation it should only take about 2 1/2 hours and cost about $1500. This is less than half for both time and payment that I was expecting...

Hey everyone, so i just finished my consultation with Dr. Gordon. Needless to say, it brought me much relief. It’s going to be a long road, that’s for sure. But we have laid out a very clear and concise plan. Based off of everything I told Dr. Gordon, he believes it should be a fairly...

We’re good, consultation on Tuesday. Fingers crossed. - Clay

All of you are awesome. Quick responses with clear info. I really appreciate it everyone. Sounds good, I registered on Medexpress but haven’t submitted any info other than an email and password. I’ll reach out to them again. Maybe they mid understood and thought o was coming in for the exam Vs...

Hey everyone, I was told not to complete my 8500 online, but to print it out and bring it to my exam. However, Dr. Gordon’s office in Plymouth mi is requiring me to complete it online first. Any insight? - Clay

I’ve seen se Chien get mentioned a few times on here. Seems to be the most reputable name I’ve come across. Is dr Gordon here as well? I’ll have to look into them both. - Clay

I’m in metro Detroit michigan, but I’m willing to drive to meet with someone competent vs grabbing someone close and running into issues

Ok, so it would make sense to just start with a HIMS AME vs a normal AME? My assumption is since I am on the ssri, it would end up there anyway. My take away is that I would do an exam with them, and they would make the call to have me see a neurologist or not, correct? Also, I have come...

That makes so much more sense. Every time I would look up ssri it would go to suicide/depression or refer to HIMS drug and alcohol. Nothing for mild generic anxiety. I’ll get set up with my normal AME physical and keep everyone update. Maybe it will help someone else out. If anyone else has...

thanks for the fast reply! So this is where some confusion comes in. Is there a difference between an AME and a HIMS AME? Or does an AME just put people through the HIMS process if need be? Sounds good, I’m in Michigan and have a list of some in my area. I’ll try to look up some reviews. Clay

Hey everyone, New member here. While I have been doing my in-depth research about the medical class 3/1, I have stumbled across some good information here. However, i have tried to use the search bar to find some more in depth questions and can’t find any. They are all ‘kind of’ but not really...
