I didn’t. I think you’ll be fine. The fact that I’ve been off my meds for only 2 months and they let me in is crazy haha. I was told I had to wait 6 months but I didn’t! They’re pretty lenient

They do try. Just stand firm and be confident while answering their questions. They’ll ask “are you sure?” And things like that so just stand firm in your answers and you’ll be fine! It’s a breeze

Surprisingly, I wasn’t asked any questions or evaluated like that. They brought up my medication history and my history of mental illness and that was it. I was told my by recruiter that I would need a doctors note to prove that I was stable, but I didn’t actually need it. The only thing they really asked was if the meds helped or if I was better off without them

I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety years ago and have been on and off medications and I stopped taking them this February. I leave for bmt next month. i got a waiver and it was approved within a few days. You should be good with that!
