Special Issuance of Airman Medical Certificates to Applicants Being Treated With Certain Antidepressant Medications: Re-Opening of Comment Period

View Comment

Has consideration been given to allowing pilot candidates who take Bupropion (Wellbutrin)? I have taken it for approximately five years for severe depression, and according to my psychiatrist I have been in full remission for approximately two years. I have had no adverse side effects; the only side effect I have experinced is a reduction in my cigarette smoking. I truly hope the FAA will decide to add Bupropion to the "approved list", so I could achieve my life-long dream of obtaining a Private Pilot Certificate. Thank you.
