Reading comprehension is key. Yes, the FAA will issue a medical certificate while you are on certain medications, AFTER a minimum of 12 months of established history on the medication.
If you're off the medication, you'll need to establish a track record and history to demonstrate function without the medication. Think about it.
Again, this is NOT something you should navigate on your own.
