Diagnosed with Bipolar II--any chance for an FAA waiver?

[Guest LumberjackAxe]

I'm being medically retired due to bipolar II. Thanks to the lithium, it's under complete control and I might as well not even have it. Unfortunately, the military is very clear about it and I cannot stay in. But what about flying for the airlines? I've got the hours and experience. I know the FAA lists bipolar as a disqualifying condition, but it is waiverable. Any insight into this?

If you are a member of AOPA, you may be able to get free advice from their medical staff.  Not positive... but give them a call if you're a member.
