Is Klonipin a banned drug for CDL?

in my searching i am not seeing that it is banned. however, you will be asked what medications that you are on. then you will have to tell them. you may end up needing proof from your doctor you need this medication. this will not necessarily mean too that you will be hired on with anyone either. its a toss up, if they want some guy on anxiety meds or not, behind the steering wheel.

 

Klonopin is a benzo so it will show up in a DOT drug screen. Like was stated above
you will have to list the meds you are taking and most companies will most likely
not hire you while taking this medication.

It is a bezodiazapine...in the valium familly....from what i understand all in that family are banned becasue they are central nervous system depressants....even Lomotil, an anti-diarrheal is banned becasue it is a close relative of the pain med Demerol....ive been checking into this, since I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome...guess I'll have to keep a port-a-potty with me....lol

 

even if you tested positive for it, providing you have a valid prescription, you wouldn't have a failed drug test

yea but im finding now that a lot of companies dont require you to list your past med history or the meds your currently on. but a lot of them do ask for you to list them on your application.

 

One may drive a CMV while taking Klonipin, but it is dependent on two things. First that the prescribing physician sign a statement that he has observed the person and the effects of the medication, and in his opinion he/she is safe to drive/operate a CMV while taking it. Second that the company MRO signs off on it. Many, if not most will not do so.

 

Question...for everyone.

Is there anyone who has tested positive, while on prescribed medications, still working ???

The world eagerly awaits your post.
