My doctor put me on Amoxicillin yesterday for strep Throat can i go back on the road on monday?
These new perscription lables dont have the little symbols on the bottle that say do not operate heavy equipment or anything, but in the warning section it says to see how it affects you before driving.....
I've been off the road since the 12th, i need to get back to making money, but im not going to put myself, my career, or anyone else in danger to do that.

That's non-narcotic,you're good to go.But if you have a fever or dizziness,(lightheaded) wait awhile.Hope you feel better soon!
American-Trucker Thanks this. -
Do you realize how many truckers are out there on antibiotics just for things they caught from lot lizards?..
Antibiotics are fine to drive or do anything on, I would be more concerned with how you feel...If you're not up to par, rest...It's not like you need the money so don't push yourself...American-Trucker Thanks this. -
You should be fine while on antibiotics. Check with your Dr. Your company may want a Dr.'s note releasing you to go back to work.
Strep throat seems to be going around right now!
American-Trucker Thanks this. -
the doctor said i'll be fine to drive, but i sure as hello didnt like the 6 miles round trip to the store last night. I'm hopeing i'll get used to this stuff and wont feel so dizzy. I've taken this stuff 1000 times when i was younger but that was long before i had a license so i cant remember how it affected me.
if i have to wait till im through with these things i'll have been off the road 18 daysthat allot of downtime for my truck

Strep? That alone may be good reason to park until you feel better and get some energy and stamina back.
American-Trucker Thanks this. -
i agree strep seems ALLOT differant as an adult, i dont ever remember strep being this bad when i was a kid.

im not worried about me, i dont have to work for another year or two if i didnt want to. I'm more worried about calling dispatch and saying uhhh i need another week off

AT how long have you been on them. You should see significant improvement in your symptoms within 48 hours of starting them. If not, you might need something stronger.
