Hi everyone! I finally got my AW account approved for posting, so I'm coming to you guys with a bit of an odd situation.
When I was enlisted, I was seen for some post-deployment anxiety in 2015 and prescribed 10mg of Zoloft soon thereafter. Not long after that, it was discontinued by the doc (I haven't used it since April 2015). The problem is, "anxiety" and the use of meds to control it (for a brief period of time) is on my medical record and I'm concerned that it's going to impair my ability to take to the skies. Other than that, I had PRK (which I know I can get a waiver for) and that's all I have working against me. I was a stellar sailor and I know I'll be a phenomenal officer, it's just a matter of the docs giving me the go-ahead.
Has anyone ever dealt with NAMI over something like this? Thanks in advance.
