I've been taking Paxil (lowest dose) for several years for general anxiety, and am looking to join the Navy Reserves or Army Reserves. From what I can tell, this automatically goes to a medical appeal. I've never been hospitalized for it, no big panic attacks, no major incidents, just your garden-variety anxiety. Is it common/uncommon for people to be allowed to serve with a history like this? Even if allowed to serve, would I be required to go off my meds ahead of time?
Note: Don't worry, I would never stop my medication without consulting my doctor, and would only enlist if I found that I still functioned well without the medication.
