If they knew that you are taking this banned medication while flying, they
will revoke your medical certification. Since you volunteered to stop flying
and don't plan to return flying until the medication stop, I don't see any
reason why you have to tell FAA about this. Just lay low until you complete
this medication and receive clearance from your doctor.

I'm a CFI with a first class medical issued 6/15/05. I began taking a
banned medication (celexa) about a week ago. I have not flown since I
started the drugs, and I don't plan on returning until the medication
stops (the doc said that may not be for another 6-12 months). When I
"get back" will my current medical still be current, or will I have to
reapply for a new one? Am I supposed to tell the FAA about this, or do
I just wait it out or what?
