Re: Medical Certificate Dilemna

    Re: Medical Certificate Dilemna

    I dont' have a medical background, but my guess would be you were denied your medical certificate due to the fact  you were taking Fluvoxamine rather than your OCD.  I'm not sure if OCD itself is a primary factor for denial of a medical (could be). If your OCD is minor enough that you wouldn't need the medication or there was an alternative medication that isn't banned by the FAA you may be able to fullfil your dream of flight.

     You can find a lot of good information on the FAA website (www.faa.gov). 

    Here is a report as to FAA findings regarding the use of Fluvoxamine in relation to a number of accidents.

    Good Luck! Keep us posted.
