Exactly. I'd prefer to fly with a pilot who
is taking Prozac than one who should be taking
it and isn't.


So, like, no one here actually knows the answer to the original question -
or did I miss it somewhere?

But, now that we have wandered off into never-never land, ADD is another
example - you can get a ticket and all the medicals you want as long as it's
undiagnosed and untreated.
