Paxil

Is the drug paxil disqualifying?

Reason I ask is some how it made it on my medication list of allergies. Never taken the stuff hope that I will never have to take the stuff. Never been treated for anixety or depression.

I'm fearful that trying to convince them that it's a error may not go so well since my current MD and I have no clue how it really got there or who put it there, and was wondering if the listing the drug alone as a allergy can disqualify or does there have to be a medical reason along with the drug that makes it disqualifying... or the fact if it's even listed as a allergy make any difference. All the FAA said was "maybe". If you are able to shine so light on this one, I'd greatly appriciate it.

Paxil is dysqualifying, but you cant be allergic to it if you have never taken it. Find out how it got on your list and ask the doctor to fix it. Will save you a lot of explanation in the future.
