Hello, I was just curious what this forum thinks my chances might be at getting a Class 3 medical with my history— abbreviated below.
When I was 16 years-old I went through some minor circumstantial depression and was put on an SSRI (can't remember what exactly). Shortly after going on the drug, within a month or so, I began having suicidal ideation for the first time in my life and was voluntarily hospitalized for a couple of days. I left the hospital, went off the SSRI and bingo— no suicidal thoughts.
Fast forward to 24 years-old. Start seeing a new therapist after a break up and he puts me on an SSRI. Enough time has passed that I decide, what the hell, let's try it again— and bam... within a month or so of being on an SSRI, depression gets worse, suicidal ideation. Go back voluntarily to inpatient, leave after a couple of days, get off the SSRI and no more suicidal thoughts.
As this is a huge symptom of SSRIs, I, and my current therapist believe this is why I had suicidal thoughts in the first place. My brain just doesn't jive well with SSRIs. Shame that it took two instances to discover because now this is a "recurring" problem.
I haven't been on an SSRI in over eight years, have had no instances of depression, and no medical problems since the one when I was 24.
Be honest. What are my chances? Light sport forever?
