Medications

Vyvanse and celexa ok? I dont have to take either just got back from iraq so they are temporary someone give me a list but i dont know with all those fancy names.

 

Medications are up to the company, the only FEDERALY disallowed medication is Methadone.

 

Celexa's generic name is Citalopram
Vyvanse's generic is Lisdexamfetamine

Hope this helps

 

This is your second thread asking the same question.


Do you think the answer will be different?

 

you give me a list of junk that the average person cant read but i do thank you for that

 

I looked, I have medical background. I didnt see yours on it. That doesnt mean anything, if the company says no, then no you cant use them. You said you dont have to take them , so dont take them if your worried about it and really want to drive. But you do realize the one drug (Vyvanse)is for ADHD dont you? Meaning you have a problem sitting still. What do you think your going to have to do in a truck for hours and hours?

 

I have had that since i was little and recently just started taking it again i dont have to take it and i know what it is for i have battled it my whole life but i believe if i can drive a truck across the desert for a year that ill be just fine driving a truck in the states under much less stress. thanks for your concern though

 

The problem you face is that the medications are not specifically banned by the fmcsa.

However, many of the trucking company insurance carriers have their own ideas and limitations. Therefore, some companies have stricter rules than others.

 

thank you thats why i was trying to figure out i dont wanna call the recruiter lady then screw myself because i can quit taking them at anytime.

 

You had better be sure of that idea, and you *do* have to list these medications on your medical card with the doctors knowledge, else you
could become liable, if an accident or other condition were to occur.

Both these medications are used for depressive-type disorders, so I hope you really have your stuff together if you go off of them without a doctor's approval, beforehand.

Regardless, best of luck to you, driver!
