    Dog Sedation

    ...be explained in detail and probably with a demonstration. The chances of you killing your dog is pretty close to zero but there is a much better chance that the dog will be pizzed at the pain, whip around and bite the nearest hand - yours. Have you tried gabapentin/trazodone/acepromazine (oral)?

    Medical Deferral

    Actually the harder part will be convinging that agnecy that he does not have a chronic affective disorder manifest as 5 years on trazodone. See email. :(

    Medical Deferral

    I wish I would’ve researched in the forums before going in for my medical certificate today, but here I am. I take trazodone nightly for help sleeping. I have no diagnosis for any sleep issues. I initially got it because i was transitioning to working the night shift at my job and it would...

    Healthy Pilot-Deferred Medical

    ...to review the record for anything flight-obectionable and make sure a "why and when terminated" note exists on the application. (I kinda have to chuckle. EVERY pilot beings with "I'm healthy" Then he pulls out the Prozac, the Trazodone, the Losartan, the metformin....well, I think you "get...

    Concurrent medications past depression treatment

    If this was your “one and only” in you life and you can get that doc to say so, and if there was no suicidality (doc has to say so!), you can do this. The “proscription” against ever on dual therapy” applies to the ON SSRI path.,,,

    Concurrent medications past depression treatment

    7 years ago a close friend committed suicide I was put on Sertraline for depression and Trazodone to help sleep. I was only on the meds for approx 3 months and have been fine with no reoccurrences ever since. I am planning on an AME consult but am worried about having used two medications at the...

    Getting a medical with old short term SSRI use

    ...anxiety, and inability to sleep. This came about due to the suicide of a close friend. I was put on sertraline for depression/anxiety and trazodone for sleep(and I guess depression as well). I was only on the meds for approximately 2-3 months before I decided to stop them and work on myself...

    Prescriptions

    ...and then came in the room to tell me I don’t have sleep apnea (I know this) and that my problem was shift work. He then wrote me a prescription for Trazodone and I was walking out. It all happened really fast. The weird thing is he didn’t write the prescription anywhere in the doctors notes...

    Prescriptions

    ...issues with my nose, but it’s nowhere near as bad as with sleep apnea. He convinced me that my work schedule was the problem and prescribed me Trazodone for sleep (half of a pill). He was pretty convincing, so I walked out with the prescription and picked it up from the pharmacy on my way...

    Class 3 Medical Deferral for General Anxiety

    ...which prevented me from sleeping more than 2-3 hours a night on top of all I was going through, so I sought and was prescribed klonopin and trazodone to “assist” as needed. I ended up not needing it much of either - the trazodone was too powerful, and I was able to manage my anxiety mostly...

    Trying to get an idea of what it will take to get a 3rd class

    ...I told my PCP that once or twice a month I'd wake up and not be able to get back to sleep. I was diagnosed with insomnia and prescribed trazodone with a take as needed dosage. Got in a better routine, stopped using the trazodone, and now my medical record states "insomnia resolved with...

    Diagnosis codes

    Hi doctor chien, since I was never prescribed any medications at all for insomnia or fatigue during that visit will the FAA still question those diagnosis?

    Diagnosis codes

    Yeah, I just had another one go through that. Retired airline, didn't report Trazodone for sleep, got revoked, it turned out it was for casual use for his part 121 schedule and could have been certififed. Went to a psychiatrist for the "all no" evlauation and got him issued on the phone.

    anxiety medication and first class medical

    I currently don't have my medical as my previous one expired and I've been taking venlafaxine and trazodone for more than 6 months now. I know the trazodone is not allowed and I can get off that one easily. My questions are mainly about what hoops do I have to jump through to ensure I can...

    Is PTSD the dream killer?

    ...panic attacks, or any of the more extremes thank goodness). I am working with the VA to get that number dropped. They have me on Trazodone for sleep and they tried me on Citalopram but took me off of it in <6 months at my request. I have always wanted to be a pilot my whole life, and would...

    Trazodone for insomnia and the FAA

    I just went through the exact same thing you will if you try and get your third class back. I had the same dosage too. Immediately deferred by AME and had to show three months of pharmacy records to prove I was not taking it anymore. Took about a year of back and forth and no flying.

    I am now in this boat. What if the diagnosis was for insomnia as the original poster asked?

    Ssri route - advice on approach

    ...ssri to comply with those (potentially) compatible with the faa. I’ve never been suicidal or hospitalized nor had poly pharmacy, except for trazodone for sleep problems unrelated to depression and gabapentin for a nerve problem now resolved (and off the Med >1 yr). Both were prescribed by...

    Multiple SSRI's

    ...SSRI’s at one time. (I’ve never held a medical cert). I have been taking Zoloft for about 15 years for depression/generalized anxiety and Trazodone as a sleep aid (insomnia) for about 5 years. However, with the doctor’s knowledge, I stopped taking the Trazodone about a year ago when I...
