I'm a university student, working on my commercial license in conjunction with my B.S. A few months ago I was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis and possible borderline/mild asthma.

I was prescribed three nonsedating medications that have not produced any side effects and give me full relief from my symptoms. However, I'm concerned that I may have made a mistake in not reporting that I was taking meds to the FAA . . . I was under the impression that I was not obligated to do so under these circumstances, though I would have to report this at my next physical.

I've been training under a Class 2 physical and I'm scheduled to renew that with an AME in a couple of days. My question is this: did I make a mistake in not contacting the FAA to report that I was taking meds? If so, what's the best approach with the AME?

Thanks in advance.
