I have been medicated for anxiety more than once in the past and am currently medicated for anxiety with an SSRI (more than six months) and flying on Basic Med after disclosing the use to the physician signing off the Basic Med. In reading here, I see conflicting opinions about whether or not I'm actually legal flying on Basic Med without an SSRI special issuance.
Q1: If I talk to an AME who specializes in this, and they do not happen to agree that it is legal to fly on Basic Med without the special issuance, are they going to report me to the FAA for doing so?
Q2: If I did find an AME who was willing to work through SSRI Path 2 so that I could get a SI and then resume flying under Basic Med afterwards, how long would I likely be grounded during the process? (Assuming that SSRI Path 2 even available for anxiety, not depression?)
