Hello all,
I’m AD with 5 years, about 3.5 years into my naval career I was in a bit of a bad situation relating to trauma I experienced as a child that began to surface after my birth of my son. I went to my doc, he told me to try therapy first and then when I couldn’t get in contact with a therapist I went back and asked for medication, Welbutrin to be specific.
I found that after taking the medication, I really experienced no proper benefits, didn’t even finish the bottle and I was able to finally find a therapist. I still see my therapist to this day as it is very effective to talk and I’ve grown comfortable with him.
I am certain now I had no mental illness and was just dealing with some very horrible things that I had no control over that left me anxious and unable to concentrate. I have recovered from that pretty much completely and all anger and anxiety problems I had have subsided.
Will I have an issue being cleared or not? Looking at the waiver guide, Wellbutrin grounds a pilot until two weeks following completion of treatment, and I’ve never been prescribed it in two years or taken it and a DQ for depression is about 12 months asymptomatic. Will therapy cause an issue?
