Can I get a job as an Air Traffic Controller if I have been on antidepressants?!


Question: Can I get a job as an Air Traffic Controller if I have been on antidepressants!?
I really want to apply for a job as an Air Traffic Controller!. I have been told that if you are taking drugs for mental condition/psychosis that you are immediately disqualified!. I came off fluoxetine(prozac) 2 weeks ago!. If I go for the job in the next month will I have any chance or will I not be considered at all!? It seems unfair if I have no chance as they were only used as a mood enhancer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If it is anything like getting a job in security, if you haven't done at least 8 yrs!. for armed robbery, start taking some serious medication!. You really need to be insane!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you will just have to apply and on the medical form put what medication you were on and when!. If you are not currently taking the medication, and you have the skills, etc they are looking for they may ask you to go for a medical before accepting you!.
You won't know unless you apply, and it's best to be honest in your application even if it means you don't get the job!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com

well if you're not taking them anymore that could change it!.
you should ask, call or look on a website to check, but if it doesnt say anything about PREVIOUSLY taking them, it shouldn't be a problem, especially if they were just mood enhancers!.

Only used as a mood enhancer eh!.!.!.!.!.you came off them just 2 weeks ago!.
Would you employ someone for such a position with a history of taking such a drug!. I know I wouldn't trust you that's for certain!. What if your mood suddenly changed and you thought fook it what is there to live for and made a couple of planes collide intentionally!?
Your best bet is to apply for such a job after you've been free of medication for a few years!.



But Prozac!?!? Not exactly mild medication is it! Like I say you've got no chance in hell of getting such a highly repsonsible job such as that!. How about a Prison Warden, that would be better suited perhaps or Mcdonalds and when your mood changes you just mix the orders up and no one comes to any harm!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
