I applied for my third class medical certificate and had the exam in August 2013 and it was deferred because I was taking sertraline for minor depression at the time. I discontinued the sertraline shortly after (I think in February 2014) because it was no longer needed and have not been on any medicine since then. The AME that I went to is no longer doing aviation medical certs so I had to find another one. I called another one and explained the situation and they asked me to get a letter from the doctor that prescribed the sertraline stating when it was prescribed and discontinued which I did get from my doctors office. My certificate was never denied, just deferred and I never pursued special issuance or did anything else with it. I haven't made the appointment with the AME yet. If I make an appointment with this new AME, will he be able to just issue the certificate or will I be deferred again? Are they going to need more documentation other than the letter from my primary doctors office?
