You may get it ok'd by everyone and be on your way. The problem I see is if you have an accident and you're taken to the hospital for treatment and the other party have a lot of injuries. DOT goes through your truck and they come up with this prescription. Now it goes into the record and if it goes to court, and most likely it will, the lawyers will tear you apart saying that medication was the cause of this whole mess. Even if it wasn't you'll need to speed a lot of dollars proving otherwise.

Lorazepam is a benzo. I don't think so...

Guess I'll stop taking my methadone and go back to heroin.

I know I drive better when I'm stoned. A lot slower and other people don't make me mad.

If you're only taking it once at night for sleep, you should be fine. I use an off-label insomnia med. I have no issues. Granted it's not a benzo, but I wouldn't even think about DRIVING for about 5 hours after I took it.
It's on my long form, never had anyone hassle me over it. -
Skate-Board Thanks this.

Chicks love the benzos.

If I was able to get hired while taking Dexedine aka Dextromethamphetaine I think you'll be fine. It's on my Long Form and my prescription is notated with my company.
