@jeffmarc Thanks — that's the way it works in Canada for flying. In the U.S., unfortunately, the FAA has a fixed list of banned meds for pilots. Firmagon is on it, and I assume the other ADT meds are as well.

Interesting restrictions. I would have never guessed since I don’t have the fatigue, Anxiety or depression issues that some people have This sounds like something a doctor could decide based on individual side effects.

@northoftheborder That’s so crazy, North…I had an (ahem) acquaintance who was a pilot (small plane) and I never saw him sober.
I’m sure the rules for operating a small plane are the same as for automobiles - don’t fly drunk! - but who ever tests a pilot before take off?
But even some commercial pilots slip under the radar and can look sober as a judge after 5 or 6 vodkas!
