Yes.: You will get a comprehensive history and exam. You can be sure they wil screen for drugs and any prior psychiatric history. Based upon reasons for taking the above meds you may or may not be rejected. You should talk to recruiter before wasting your time.

No meds: Part of the exclusion criteria for the military is whether you are currently taking psychotropic meds. If so, you won't get in. Once you are in, that's a different story. Recruiters in this area suggest discontinuing your meds (if possible) until you get the exam done and are recruited. The risk is your dep/anx will return. Regardless, if you are taking them, you won't get in.
