Hello Everybody,
I have my doctors appointment tomorrow and I still haven't found any information on what I need in the letter from my doctor in response to my refusal. I have tried searching and I have read thousands of messages in this forum without much luck.
So what is the D Med Pol looking for (I was refused for headaches and paxils with follow ups)?
Do they want to know why I take Paxil? what would happen if I don't take it? How often do I need follow ups? Am I capable of being in the military? I can't think of anything else? What format/topic should the letter cover?
I have been taking Paxil for 3 years. I have to go to the clinic ones a year to get a refill on my prescription ( if that counts as a follow up ). I started taking it after quiting drinking. The amount I take started at 10mg ( the lowest possible ) and I had it upped each year since I might get immune to it. At this point I am seriously considering not taking it anymore ( I went to the doctor and requested it so I wouldn't be going against doctors orders ). 40mg is where they start a person that has to take it. I take 30mg.
The headaches use to happen after months of working a 80-100 hours a week ( 2 full time jobs ) while I live off coffee and cigarettes. Drinking a few glasses of water resolved the issue. Also I quit smoking now.
I also applied for an IT type position not front lines or officer positions.
Thank you for all your help,
Ben
