Is there a definitive list of medications that do not affect driving ability in any way somewhere?
I'd like to see medications (both OTC and prescription) listed based on what they would be taken for and include brand names and generic names as well if possible? This information would be helpful as a 'GOOD' list and a 'BAD' list (with the bad listing how long driving ability may be impacted).
I had a cousin that died in a car accident a couple of years ago and it was determined that she had Ambien in her system from what she had taken some 36 hours prior.
Or is this something a competent pharmacist would have?

I stopped taking it as soon as i herd i could not get a DOT med card while on it. -
When i asked about my insomnia i was told there is nothing i can really take for it other then "unisom" which is nothing but benedryll under a different name (and that crap does NOTHING) -
I been told cold medicine certain ssri, Adderall things like valium Xanax benzos.
But to be honest you could go to war and win against any trucking company and DOT they cannot discriminate against a disability such as depression. I understand benzos painkillers thing that intoxicate a driver but ssri Adderall shouldn't be a issue. -

"People just do not understand the Regulations when it comes to driving a commercial motor vehicle. Can an amputee have a CDL? YES! Can an amputee drive a semi rig? YES! Those whom I call the foolish ones, will point out Regulation 391.41(b), which basically states that a person cannot drive a commercial motor vehicle if they have a loss of a foot, a leg, a hand, or an arm. BUT, they always seem to miss the next line: except if they have been granted a skill performance evaluation certificate pursuant to 391.49.
Within this section is the key for those with this physical condition: §391.49 Alternative physical qualification standards for the loss or impairment of limbs. All one needs is a Skill Performance Evaluation (SPE) Certificate. This certificate shows that the person seeking a CDL can operate the commercial motor vehicle safely, and that the amputee condition does not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle."amiller and virginwidow Thank this. -
Gentlemen, let's not get snarky. No need for it.
