I no longer have thta article archived, but it states specifically that a

pilot is to be grounded if he is staking Paxil, Prozac, Zoloft, etc. or any

other

psychotropic drug that interferes with cognitive ability and judgment. When

I found this article I passed it around to everyone I knew, so maybe someone

else has it archived. Pilots have to have regular physical exams and blood

tests and urine tests, I believe, so it's highly unlikely (I hope) that a pilot

could take these drugs and be under the medical radar! But who knows. I'm

sure if you googled this with FFA+Paxil+psychotropic drugs, it would bring up

what you want to know.
