First of all, Hello, I am new to this forum.
I have recently begun my journey to obtain my Private Pilot Cert, a couple of lessons in, my instructor started talking to me about getting a medical cert... the issue is I have been on medication for anxiety for years, I am 46 and been on them for about 15-20 years, I have been on several different ones over the years, and I am currently on Wellbutrin (not allowed it seems). I have been talking to my Dr and I can switch to one of the 4 allowed SSRIs. I have read so many horror stories I am not sure if I should even attempt... I guess I am looking for some advise or if anyone has had a similar situation with any levels of success.
Thank you all for your time!
