    My physical is expiring soon. One doctor I talked to says Anti Psychotics are not allowed. Another doctor I talked too says if you have a note that's says your stable and you have no side effects, your allowed to drive on it. I cant find anything on the DOT website that says otherwise. So, I need your help before I shelve out $95 and get rejected. If so, please post proof from the DOT.

    The doctor is on the Nat. registry list. I looked over the pieces of information and didn't see nothing that said I couldn't drive on them. I do indeed have the required requisites that you need per the 1st posters page like being stable and having no effects. A few years ago the medicine in question was not a problem.

    I take an antidepressant I had to get a form signed by my psychiatrist to get my medical card to work at my megacarrier. The concern was these sorts of medication cause drowsiness. I'm sure you know this but don't discuss this with your fellow drivers.

    I have the same letter you have for my anti-depressant and the medication I described. You need one in order to drive a CMV.

    Ok guys,

    What you all said is indeed true. Went in this morning and 45min later I was out. Got a 1yr since that's all you can get when you have a mental condition. I had my doctors letters saying I was stable with me having Aspergers Syndrome and Bipolar. Had I not had a doctors note, I would have been up craps creek. Just thought I'd give you all an update.
