prescription amphetamines for a condition allowed in trucking?

A prescription.

 

Lmao very much so.

And that is basically it. When you do your DOT physical you will tell them what meds you are on, and with any type of stimulant like that the doctor (if not your actual physician) will need your doctor to sign a release form. They will fax it to them. But if your prescribing physician is doing the physical then wham bam done.

 

All this states is that you need a doctors note.....

I tried to quote the gov link....

 

People on amphetamines drive aggressively and take very high risks behind the wheel. How about you stay out of this industry?

 

Maybe he has a thyroid condition.

 

If somebody had ADHD it would just make them normal. I'm not 100% for people with ADHD to the level of needing meds behind the wheel for obvious reasons (look a squirrel!) But diabetics are allowed to drive as long as they don't need insulin, if they screwed up their meds their sugars could hit the ground and they could pass out. Not really that different.

 

i have adhd. Nobody needs amphetamine salts to drive. Thats ridiculous. Its for studying and reading, etc. Imho OP wants to stay wired like they did it in the old days and he wants to do it legally.
