I wish I would’ve researched in the forums before going in for my medical certificate today, but here I am.
I take trazodone nightly for help sleeping. I have no diagnosis for any sleep issues. I initially got it because i was transitioning to working the night shift at my job and it would rotate every 2 weeks. Now I have been taking it out of convenience for years now and disclosed it to my AME.
My biggest issue I believe is that I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child and was on medication for about a year. Fast forward to me at 24, i went to try to see if medication could help me with my work and training (I took it for a few days and then stopped) I continued to collect the rest of my prescription though. I have not taken the medication for over a year though. I am almost 26 now.
Am I basically out of luck? A deferral for two unapproved medications seems like I am SOL. I would love to hear your thoughts.
