Hi everyone,
For context: About 10 hours into my flight training I learned that being on an SSRI would delay my medical certification. After looking at the two paths, I chose SSRI path 1 which is to discontinue my SSRI (Lexapro) on record which I did.
I am 30 days I and just a follow up with my prescribing doctor and she said that I am doing great and that she will have my take two tests to provide concrete evidence in addition to a detailed report that my anxiety is in remission.
My question, looking at the SSRI path sheet it suggests I should be applicable for normal issuance once I show my favorable report to my AME.
I am now told by AOPA that my AME will likely still have to defer my application. Has anyone gone through this process and can shed insight on how long this process took said and done?
