I have foolishly let my Medical lapse. Since then, I had to go on a low dose of a weak anti-depressant--not for depression. It has been about four years since I started taking it. I have had NO side-effects. Further, I have had NO side effects at altitude either.
A couple of years ago, when I went to renew my medical, I put it down on my medical application form. The Dr. then looked at the sheet--he didn't even examine me. He just told me my options, and of course charged me for the visit. I know what the FAA policy is on these medications, and quite frankly, it is ridiculous and insulting. Also, it seems to deal with pilots who are suffering from depression, which is not my case. My question is: do they keep records of medical rejections and for how long? My thoughts are: if I don't tell them, how would they know? What are your thoughts on how to get me back in the cockpit?
Please, don't think ill of me, I just want to fly again.
Thank you very much.
