Hello all, recently I was deferred for my class 1 medical due to my use of 1 SSRI (Lexapro). *I want to get a class 1 medical first to see if I'm even elegiable to fly for the airlines as a career in the future*. I got the dreaded letter in the mail from the FAA requesting I go to see a HIMS Neuropsycologist for my use of lexapro. (After seeing this I instantly signed up for AOPA and their Pilot protection services + program) They also want me to consult a HIMS AME for an in-person review, to see a psychiatrist for my anxiety, and a treating physician report. Can anyone provide some insite on what I'm in for and any steps I should take so I have a seamless and as painless of a process as possible? Some questions I have is, how much will all of this cost? How long will it take? and Is it a possibility that I can't recieve my medical? Thank you all!
