    You mean, I haven't been fooling the doctors? That is a dumb thing to do, many things could happen to you; the doctor isn't just watching out for you, they have to watch out for themselves, for when you die and your family tries suing them. I lied about my drinking problem a while back, and was put on Paxil for an anxiety issue, I don't know if it clashed with the acohol, but I ended having a seizure or passing out, witnesses couldn't say what for sure, but if something like that isn't enough to deter you from lying, the 800 dollar 9mile ambulance ride sure would. I am in debt from that whole mess, and it screwed with my credit rating pretty hard.

    Sounds liks a medical waiver to keep your CDL. Passing out or a seizure is a no no for truckers.

    Epilepsy is a no for truckers. The doctors found nothing, said it was a drug (paxil) induced seizure. Also that was a while ago, no longer matters. I wouldn't been able to drive in my current condition any how because I was an acoholic. But since you brought it up, I did have to get a waiver, because it was investigated and found that it was what it was.
