Hello all! I have a weird question about nuke duty. I am currently going through a nuke duty/rad worker physical (mine is about to expire and I'm going back to sea from shore duty) and one of the IDC's pointed out that one of the drugs I an taking could be an issue. I have been on regularly prescribed hydroxyzine for my psoriasis. He mentioned that hydroxyzine is nuclear & submarine disqualifying since it is also an anti-anxiety drug.
When I asked the UMO doing my physical he said he didn't recognize the name of the drug off the top of his head.
I would hate to pack up the house/wife/kids/dog, move overseas, and show up to a new command only to find out that I need a I shouldn't have transferred just yet. I saw something like that happen to a guy in my division because he took chantix to quit smoking (he got stuck at TPU for a long time).
If the UMO doesn't know what the drug is, who would I talk to and how would I go about getting a clearance or waiver?
