Hello All,

I've recently become seriously interested in doing the PLC Air program for the Marines, but I've got a bit of a problem. About a half a year ago, a doctor prescribed me Wellbutrin and Lexapro (which are both members of a class of antidepressants) because I was a bit shy, and he thought I have some sort of anxiety disorder. I only took the medicine for about a week (I've been off of it for about half a year) before I realized that I didn't need it, but it's still in my medical records. I've read that if you're off the medicine for a year, you can get a waiver for it. Is there any truth to this, or am I going to have to kiss my dream of being a pilot goodbye? It'll be next summer '08 by the time I'm able to do the summer training, so by that time I'll have been off of the medicine for 2 years. Any information about my chances or getting around this issue will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Marcus
