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

You don't have to be a psychiatrist to read the regulation.

 

Which med?

 

Even if the regulation says you can that doesn't mean that an employer is going to hire you if you are on those meds. I know if I were hiring manager for a carrier and somebody disclose to me that they took any sort of a downer that would be a no hire for me. My mom was on klonopin for years and a complete and utter Space Case. I tried one once and could barely even walk to the bathroom. If you can find a deity doc to sign off on it and an employer but doesn't mind then I might work out for you, especially combined with the Adderall.

 

Klonopin 1mg 3x a day

 

Oh and my degree is in psychology

 

Mine too. BS, almost got a masters but I hated my thesis advisor and never wrote my thesis. When I got my physical I disclose that I had a hydrocodone prescription and I had to get a special note from my doctor saying that it would not affect my driving. I was also told that I'm not allowed to take that even if my doctor said it's okay. I think there's a lot of misinformation out there. All I know is I switched to ibuprofen and it actually works better.

 

About 30 on my Masters

 

If you actually need klonopin and take it properly it's not going to do that to you Midnightrider909

 

The reason there is confusion on this is most epilepsy medications have other uses. I have epilepsy and 2 of my seizure medications have other uses. The FMCSA could have worded all of this better.

 

I did the full two years including all the research for my thesis and my clinical internship. My thesis advisor expected me to work for free on his study. When I wouldn't do it he refused to supervise me any longer. I took all my research threw it in the trash and moved on. probably not the best decision I ever made but I think most psychologists and psychiatrists are full of s*** anyway. The profession attracts people with issues.
