Last August I surrendered my Class C medical when they started asking about why I took Imitrex. I did not respond to their one and only inquiry, simply stopped working on my student license.
My plan...
If the mushroom treatment works, or failing that, if the LSD treatment works, then I have this idea of the converstation between myself and the flight surgeon....After the appropriate 1 to 2 year CH-free period.
I say, "Doc, I no longer take Imitrex and have not had a treatable attack in 1 to 2 years."
Doc says, "That's interesting, what happened to the CH condition?"
I say, "The semi-annual LSD treatment has really improved that problem."
Doc looks into FAA regs and says, "OK, just as long as you don't take Imitrex."
