Thanks for the encouragement. Much appreciated.
Excellent, I did notice there was an AOPA hotline (Haven't looked to see what those phone calls are gonna cost). I should give it a ring and see. As for my current plan of action since I believe I am under a little bit of a time concern to keep pace with the class I'm in, and I hope it will not be a 24 month process. I'm hoping they allow me to do the ground school and let me bank the plane time for later. I was also considering the "do not tell" the AME because I knew this was going to pose a definite issue, but I decided to deal with it the right way. I haven't been in the psychiatrist care since atleast '05 and rumor has it he has dealt with this issue before with someone trying to become a pilot. Let's see what the FAA responds with, I have seen the ADD response letter posted on one of those sites that was earlier mentioned in this post, but no ADHD response letter. I'll think about it a little and see. Maybe I'll grab another psychiatrist and do some of those tests that I have seen mentioned since I can't seem to get into see the original guy until Oct. I was only under the care of this guy for less then a year, although the family history is gonna screw me if a panel of judges sees that.
