Medical Card Question

Unless your planning on switching companies before your medical card expires, 2yrs, I wouldnt worry about it.
If you switch companys, have your DR give you letter saying you under his/her care and is no longer using this prescription - IF NEW EMPLOYER ASKS!!!
Never give more information than required if your not on xanax anymore anyhow.
If you were a recovered drug/alcoholic and sober for 10yrs, you dont have to tell everyone you use to be a boozer/druggy. No ones business. "Oh Hi my names, ****, im sober now 10 yrs and heres my application" lol...isnt "Hi, Im *****. Im responcible, curtious, dedicated and here my application" better approach.

 

I agree. I take prescription meds, and as long as the DR. signs off on it, I'm good to go.

 

Agreed.

Or only prescriptions that are to control things that are part of the DOT physical. If you have high cholesterol and are meds for it what business is it of theirs? Or acid reflux? Or ulcers? Or can't get little Willy up? (Guess that doesn't apply to you.)

 

if your not on the meds no more just get a doctors note saying your not prescribed them anymore. You should be alright to get a 2 yr card but when drug tested it can come up. Dont cover it up and be truthful, if you are not on them they wont be in your system recently...

 

Out of left field here, but a sleep apnea prescribed breathing machine is aprescription and sign off by DR.
What about new drivers applying with this?
A friend of mine has it and allot I know here. They never seem to have problem getting work here in AK. what about new drivers with these companies?

 

Xanax is a controlled substance, that is different than listing something like Simvastatin which is not a controlled substance nor used to treat a condition that would be a dis qualifier. Technically if you use IB or Tylenol they have to be listed but do you really want to hand any employer a list of medications a mile long? I don't.

I know its technically not legal but who or how is anyone ever going to know? A company that thinks they need to know everything little detail of you medical history is over stepping their bounds and I would not ever consider working for them.

 

So should Crestor (cholesterol med) be reported?
