New Guy here, trying to make heads or tails about the medical certifications.
I thought I had add. went to a psychologist and did a vast array of test and he then gave a report saying that I was marginal or possible that I had add. I then went to my GP in 2009 and he have me concerta and then swtiched adderall with the last refill of aderall beginning Nov 2014. I haven't taken any adderall since Dec 2014.
During that time I was diagnosed with Low T and started testosterone replacement therapy. It seems to me IMO, that the Low T was the culprit behind any issues I had the whole time and not the ADD. All of my Low T therapy is FAA approved.
So from what I gather, if I have been off the Adderall for 24 months and can function normally then I would have to see the pyschologist to take the FAA's recommended test and have his report say I do not exhibit ADD symptoms anymore and then then an FAA medical examiner would put that info together and then I could send it all to the FAA at that point if the AME feels the Low T was the issue and I don't have ADD either?
This is all new to me and I would like to make sure I can get a medical before I go on a discovery flight so in case I fall in love with flying I don't get my hopes up for nothing.
thanks
