I'm prescribed Adderall and klonopin can I still drive? Will employers hire me?

I admit that I'm somewhat biased about Klonopin. It turned my mom into a zombie for about 10 years. Her psychiatrist decided she didn't need it anymore and refused to give her any more prescriptions. She freaked out and became a total alcoholic and ended up in jail and almost got divorced from my step dad. She's on Effexor right now and it seems to work as well or better but she has a hard time giving a s*** about anything anymore.

 

I switched all my meds to my family dr and worked to get klonopin down to where it's safe and got off the others.

My psychiatrist just kept just writing meds. I had to take two drug tests because she couldn't believe I was taking 2mg x4 times a day and was wide awake. She thought I was selling them lol.

 

I did get 2 under grads published while working in our nueroscience lab.

 

Impressive! Were you the first name as author. My thesis was supposed to be about depression but I got too depressed to write it.

 

Yes at the Unversity of South Carolina. After I retired from 2008-2012

 

Why did u give up?

 

Well wife got a heart condition and had to quit work so I have to pick up the slack. My reasoning for all that was who better to counsel others with PTSD than someone who has it. Also I was trying to figure out what that mess is and how to fix it.

 

Good for you. Be sure to get everything from whatever company in writing or they will throw you under the bus. Nothing personal this industry is just that way!
