A UK pilot said to ask this question here.

I am an FAA Commercial Pilot with Multi and Instrument Ratings.

I was diagnosed as Bipolar and now take 600 mg of Lithium daily. Does anyone know what the FAA position is on this condition. Can I still get medically certified?

Any info would be helpful.

Thanks

Not while you're on the medication!
