Met with psych nurse yesterday. She will work with me to ensure diagnosis does not make FAA process worse.
She proposed situational anxiety and situational depression. One week of Xanax to get sleep pattern stable, then 3-4 months of Lexapro.
Looking at the Situational Depression and Anxiety/Depression tools, this looks like it will pass review without deferral, assuming my situation resolves itself without recurring.
Seems to me the Xanax is riskier that the SSRI from an FAA perspective. Should I ask her to write for situational depression and Lexapro only?
