Hey guys,

I was curious if anyone would know anything about overturned diagnoses being in my medical history. I recently scored BQ and have yet to receive a TOL, so I am not trying to get ahead of myself- I am just mentally planning out a "what if" for the upcoming months.

I know the medical and security clearance will be coming up, and I have no intention of hiding anything. A couple of years ago (when I was ~21), I was erroneously diagnosed with a mood disorder and took lamotrigine/lamictal for about two years. Long story short, that medication did nothing for me because I am not bipolar. I have not taken that medication for over a year and a half. I have been taking Wellbutrin for over a year at a stable dose for general depression. I do not intend on hiding this diagnosis (especially since they are gonna find out one way or another), but if anyone has any input/similar experiences on whether this is disqualifying or not, that'd be great.

I am just trying to level set before these upcoming months. If I can expect this to be an issue, I won't be as disappointed if things don't work out, you know? Obviously, the people in this subreddit do not make the decisions, but if anyone has any anecdotal experiences, that'd be appreciated.

Thanks! 😄
