About anti depressants -- sorry, Jim, but their use has to be
carefully monitored -- you probably already knew that. One of the side
effects ooften mentioned is "thoughts of suicide".

I thought the suicide problem was encountered in the initial stages of
getting used to the drugs.

I don't know-don't need them. It does seem strange that people can fly
around without them and have a medical, but if they really need them, they
can't have them, and have a medical.

This is really just a rant about the FAA's slow to adapt / sometimes
puzzling stance on medicals.
