[quote] Back to flying though, your av-med examiner will tell you that the CAA don't allow any antidepressants at all (this info for a class 1 medical) except St Johnswort - which is surprisingly effective. You'll get more sense from an aviation doctor than your GP on this I think. [unquote]
You have to be very careful with St Johns Wort. I was informed some time ago by a physition that if you were to contemplate an operation, the you should discontinue the Wort some time before surgery, as it's presence in the body can react with some aneasthetics and other drugs. I suppose everything would be OK if you took this into account, but what if you were unfortunate enough to have an accident......?
