Class 1 medical and depression drugs

I have done a search on pprune but couldnt find any mention hence the following question.

I am about to go and get my class 1 medical booked in HOWEVER, I am currently taking a antidepressant drug. Is Serttraline - Hydrocloride 100mg a day or ZOloft.

I suffered from a touch of "black dog" due to a string of personal hassles throughout last year / in the later part of 2007, and on the advice of my GP went on this to help get over the hump. Feeling alot better, and will probably come of the crap soon I hope. Not full blown "kill myself depression" however defiantley hit a rough patch - something that in 37 years I had never experienced.

I was planning to crank up / get my PPL current again and finish off my cpl I started a few years back. Hence the need for medical. I am just wondering whether I am going to get my medical or I will have to suspend my training plans and stop taking this stuff.

Anyone got any experience with medicals and this.
