    I got a question I recently refused to take a drug test but it was for the river industry I held a merchant mariners license threw the coast guard they are all regular 5 panel dot tests but I want to know if there is some kind of record of this that will prevent me from getting my CDL and starting over. All i did was smoke some weed with a girl I had recently met trying to get some it was a stupid mistake and I've learned my lesson as this was a 100K plus a year job where I had to quit and the coast guard is going to pull my license so I can't even just go somewhere else

    Xanax isn't an anti depressant its anti anxiety and is classified a benzodiazipine. And risperdol isn't either. Neither one is safe to take and drive hence the warning on th
    Xanax and Risperdol are no joke. I know some now prescribe it for depression but xanax is anti anxiety and risperdol when it came out was given to violent dementia patients. I'd call a dot doc and ask them. Just because its not tested for it doesn't mean it's not disqualifying. I'm a nurse call a doc. To be honest I'd get off both drugs you'll probably feel better.
    Good Luck

    Taper yourself off your current meds first. I have a feeling a change in career will do you good. I'm going this month for my training.
