Taking medication and wanting to join the Army/Air Force/Navy?

PDQ no waivers authorized for both the Tourrette's and the medication.

Seem, your now not the first character to ask this kind of query. This is the section the place all of us step in and suggest you become a member of the respective branches we belong to at the same time thumbs downing anyone who places forth a further department. It occurs whenever this type of question comes out. Study. Go to each branches website and seem at the entire details and come to a decision what department is for you. If need be go see a couple of recruiters. It is a decision you have got to make, no longer Yahoo.

Any diagnosis of Tourette's is permanently disqualifying for all branches of the service. If you have been prescribed Clonidine to manage your symptoms, it is not minor. Quote from DoD Instruction 6130.03, "Medical Standards for Appointment, Enlistment, or Induction in the Military Services", of permanently disqualifying conditions,

27. NEUROLOGIC

"Chronic nervous system disorders, including but not limited to myasthenia gravis (358.0), multiple sclerosis (340), tremor (333.1), and tic disorders (307.20) (e.g., Tourette’s (307.23))."

Since you cannot join, your question about meds is irrelevant.

Most people in the Army have tourrettes they spout absolute crap and you can be one of them, ready up soldier!

The meds will be an automatic disqualification. You would have to be taken off of it by your doctor and be off of it for one year (if I remember correctly) taking yourself off won't work.
