I'm not sure, but do you have an FAA Aviation Medical Examiner (AME)? The guy/gal that gives you your Class 1/2/3 medical? I would think they could get you headed in the right direction.

Thanks, I didn’t receive a medical certificate but I’m hoping to find one on my own.

Hi Jim1,

The FAA does not have a requirement of whom to use for a psychiatric evaluation, but strongly suggests that you choose one who is versed in aviation issues. If a neuropsychiatric evaluation is required then they do have a preferred list. See link below:

Hope this helps!

Did you mean abilify? Also is that invega the 28 day shot?

Yes , I am advocating as I don’t want to be permanently grounded.

AMAS has a good medication database. Also, they have links to various FAA documents that discuss medications.

I don’t necessarily need them actually because celexa works for me
