    Hey folks!
    Just discovered this forum and i would really appreciate some insight. When i was 17 i was diagnosed with very mild dyskinesia and took prescription medication (carbamazepine) till i outgrew it at the age of 21. I’m 26 now haven’t had any issues with my health or mentally since then and my dream to become an airline pilot is still very much present. Would i have to report that i took some kind of medication when doing my first class medical or is it not necessary since I’m not reliant on any drugs or prescriptions anymore?

    The question (18) is “have you ever in your life...” so the neurological disorders box is “yes” or you lied.

    The will demand the old record
    10 year pharmacy printout, and a current neurologist’s evaluation.

    Thanks for answering my question Bruce i appreciate your help! Just out of pure curiosity, could my medical record be the reason that a first class med could be denied? Have a great day
