Also, in the distant future (long after I've stopped using it) what are the real career implications? Do you have to tell an airline if you EVER took a medication like this.

Also, Mike, anti-anxiety medications aren't like that, as I said. They're not generally taken continuously unless your doctor thinks it's necessary.

I once heard a story about how the FAA went through every pilot in California and referenced their medicals and what they said they took as medication and what they claimed against their insurance. I think the outcome was many guys had to look for different jobs because they lost everything. Just a thought.
