Rx meds

The FAA allows many prescription meds, even some high blood pressures medications. Call AOPA, try www.aopa.org or try www.leftseat.com for a listing.

My gut reaction on hydrocodone is to stay away from it at all costs if you must fly. I believe that hydrocodone is a narcotic, something like codeine. The last thing you need is for it to be found in a drug test.

I still wouldn't discuss it with your AME. Once again, an AME is not your doctor but the FAA's industrial physician. An AME can cause you big trouble. I wouldn't even ask anyone in your company's medical department for the same reason.

Leftseat.com has the following list of accepted prescription medications: http://www.leftseat.com/medcat1.htm
