Tim-
From my experience, anideppressants/anxiety medications do not mix with
flying, no question about it.


Only because of FAA obstinance. There is no indication that controlled SSRI
use isn't advantageous in some people.

If a pilot has current 3rd class medical, and then
begins taking antidepressants, you are required to void your certificate
VOLUNTARILY according to FAA regulation.


No, you're just required not to use it.

To re-obtain your certificate, you
would require a six-month evaluation without a medication.


90 days in most cases.
