Ban lifts antidepressant rule for pilots
The FAA ends a 70 year prohibition allowing pilots on antidepressants Prozac Zoloft Celexa Lexapro to fly after a year of treatment with no side effects. The policy includes amnesty for pilots who previously hid diagnoses and treatment while noting prosecution remains possible in rare cases. The change aims to improve safety by treating pilots and reducing stigma.
