Questions regarding Zoloft

jgrant · October 22nd, 2007, 11:21

I have recently been weaned off of Zoloft and I have a few questions about getting my medical back.

I was on it for one year so I guess the decision will have to go to the FAA, correct? Do I need to wait 90 days before the FAA will even consider me ( I have only been off it a week)? Should I at least go see the AME to start the process now or is it better just to wait the 90 days then schedule my medical?

Thanks for any advice you can offer Doc!

You will need to wait the full 90 days before you submit information to the FAA. What you need to do is get all of the medical records together so the AME can forward them to the FAA when he does your medical.
