[QUOTE="Redtag, post: 4788716, member: 70933"] Wow, calm down.... ADHD and all the meds for it are a automatic disqualification for even a 3rd class medical let alone a first class. You can get the diagnosis reversed but it's a costly process that requires a HIMS certified psychologist. There are tons of threads about this on pilotsofamerica and other pilot message boards. One of the top doctors that helps pilots with difficult medicals frequents that forum in the medical section. You don't have to believe quad decade or myself go ask him. If the OP has any sort of history of mental health drugs being prescribed he needs to consult one of these doctors before he applies. Once he is denied it's much harder road. Lying on the medical is horrible advice. For a airline pilot that would be huge fines, all endorsements gone and quite possibly jail time. After being caught the HIMS psychologist may not be able to help because the FAA can deny you based on moral character and they would argue that your deception is proof of not being fit to hold a first class medical. Anyway, Quaddecade pissed me off with his nonsense about ups automotive but he is 100 percent right on this. I am not active but I have held a medical in the past, they look at everything and there is a paper trail for those drugs. [/QUOTE]
