I'm prescribed Adderall and klonopin can I still drive? Will employers hire me?

Switch to pseudoephedrine and benadryl.

 

Klonopin is a disqualifying medication.

Wrong.

The link you provided does not say it is disqualifying. Please stop spreading false information.

 

Klonopin is a seizure medication. I'm sure the OP would love to fix the reason that it's prescribed to him.

Adderall is for treatment of ADHD, and sometimes narcolepsy.

 

From the link:

Klonopin is a seizure medication. It's also a benzodiazepine. No doctor anywhere will deem someone safe to drive while taking Klonopin.

 

It would disqualifying only if it is taken for the prevention of seizures.

If used for another reason, such as anxiety, it would not be disqualifying.

 

Not quite sure what you're debating. I said truckers know everything. "Trooper to Trucker" assumed I was talking about him. I was clarifying to him that I was talking about all truckers. Truck stops, much like The Truckers Report, has never had a subject discussed where there wasn't at least one "expert" on said subject.

 

You should join Kevin Rutherford on the air so you can dispense psychiatric advice.

 

I heard a truck driver at the Flying J in Barstow trying to score some Adderall because his prescription ran out. He said it was prescribed by a doctor for was okay. The Klonopin is going to be a different story. That stuff is given for anxiety and it's basically a tranquilizer. I doubt you could find any doctor out there qualified to give a DOT physical that would say it's okay to take that while driving. You won't have much Social Anxiety on the road anyway. Most drivers are anti-social and don't want to talk to you anyway. The people working at the shippers and receivers they don't like you either and we'll exchange a few words as possible with you to complete their mission. You have chosen the perfect profession, you just need to get off the drugs.

 

My DOT dr did and the school gave me a med card with it listed
