    Normally anything that impairs judgment, or is used to alter a persons mind or mood is usually a no go. This will include narcotic drugs such as oxycodone.

    See webmd side effects list here. http://www.webmd.com/drugs/mono-527...gid=1025&drugname=oxycodone+oral&pagenumber=6

    good luck getting a company to still hire you, most dont care that you have a "note" the impairments is what they worry about, doesnt matter if your body built a tolerance, thats what drunks say too.

    Big difference between a drunk and someone who is prescribed something to deal with pain.........

    How would YOU know how a prescription affects someone?? It has different effects on everyone; hence why it says "possible side effects"

    I have taken different prescriptions, was on disability for my back for awhile....took different ones and they all had a different type of side effect that hit me.

    Still the point how do they know he isnt impaired and just saying he has a tolerance to it? I know these days a lot of companies turn down apps for different prescriptions for liability reasons.

    22 drops, guess what, it's drugs. Light weight, to Pharms all over the land. Don't need them myself. Pays great.

    Oxycodone is a NARCOTIC. You will NEVER get a company to hire you, perscription or not.

    I'm not worried about a company I have a job. I worried about not being accepted into NETTS class B program. They never said anything about testing or a psychical swing as I already have a permit and dot card
