Hello,
I know I am opening myself up to criticism here, but I have been looking around this site and I feel like most of you here are more helpful than judgmental, so I will take the chance. I also really like that I can ask my question here before signing up, so thank you for your help ahead of time.
My Story:
A few years ago I graduated from college and got a job in an excellent start-up company doing research and development. The culture was great and the work was exciting. Despite this I had a really hard time connecting with my coworkers and it was beginning to interfere with my career. I went to talk to a psychiatrist and he told me that he believed I had social anxiety or social phobia and wanted to treat me with a combination of medication and therapy. For a few years I was taking Adderall and learning that the rejection I feared was not realistic. The adderall made me talkative and made me want to connect with people. So I put myself out there and no one made fun of me or killed me and slowly we ramped down my dose, and I have not needed it for quite some time.
My Question:
Does my previous use of adderall disqualify me from flying?
Just to clarify, I have never had any issues with attention of hyperactivity, and I would say that I am cured of my social anxiety. Thanks again for your thoughts.
