We get a lot of questions in this forum about SSRI's and depression/anxiety diagnoses, and how (or if!) one can navigate the FAA medical system with them... I have picked a few hopefully useful threads from the recent past on the topic. If you've got a question about these issues, I recommend reading these threads first!

I hope that this thread -- designed to be a "sticky" can be a "living" one, where additional threads can be added, if they will be helpful to the PoA community.
@bbchien, @lbfjrmd, @AggieMike88, and anybody else: If you know of good PoA threads that should be added to this list, feel free to add 'em. Or good "Read this first" resources.
And another useful tip for new users: PoA has a "Search" feature -- find it in the upper right corner of the page -- where you can enter (say) the name of a particular drug, and it's very very likely someone has asked about it already.
