    I checked your three against the FMCSA lists and do not see specifically DQ however... your three does show up in a related forum (Not to TTR specifically but one of serveral sources of information)

    Passing The Physical For The Exams - Page 1 | TruckingTruth Forum

    At minimum you want a note from your doctor certifying your ability to handle a Semi while under the three medicines you are prescribed.

    I am familiar with Gabalpetain, it was experimented on me for three weeks off label for pain control and it was a migraine generator for me I stopped it completely after the 9th day. I watched my spouse wean her self from 900 mg of that stuff Daily to nothing over a period of months. just this year. She has none of that in her now. The Gabel was strictly a experiment for me. I take valium at night which certainly is a disqualifier off label to get at certain muscles that wont get loose. And I rarely drive anymore in a personal vehicle. Any driving is planned for myself 3 days in advance so I can stop the medicines and finish the withdrawal period and go drive clean without DUI.

    The reason I asked for your medicines was simple. There is a list put out by FMCSA that contains disqualifying drugs by specific across several different schedules, useage and so on.

    that link is here.

    What medications disqualify a CMV driver?

    Following the regulation cited... actual list itself.. this one is sourced from the DEA/DOJ which is superior to FMCSA These medicines DEFINITELY disqualify anyone with a CDL. And cause a DUI for those with generic car licensing etc

    PART 1308 - Section 1308.11 Schedule I

    You should know there is no psychiatric that help you as much as your fellow drivers. You should sit at the lunch counter for an hour and you will have the answers to all the worlds problems.

    Your doctor can’t just call in your prescriptions for you?

    nah :( with anti depressants they wanna see you once a month, even though my meds work great, i see a therapist, practice buddhism, meditate daily, run, lift weights, and practice proper nutrition. I guess they wanna make sure i still dont seem like i might blow my brains out? haha

    haha dude. i literally almost never talk to other truckers. i'll be going for a run, lifting what free weights i bring, or whatching tv/listening to a podcast usually when i run out my 11. I enjoy doing the excercise #### though so its not really a chore for me. The straight up lies ive heard truckers telling its like who the #### does that with a straight face you are so clearly just making #### up. haha. then again ive always been an extrovert, used to be in sales, just happen to enjoy driving a truck, and its stable secure work.
