CDL A DOT physical

Thanks for the advise I have been on the phone with many recruiters from large logistic corps and told all of them about the 1mg per day total and they said its not a problem. Did you know that 1mg of Clonozepam is non detectable in urine? Maybe in blood test I'm not sure though.

 

Yes I already made up my mind. If I had not made up my mind why would I pay for a CDL course and passed on my first road test. I came here to see if there was anyone out there that had experienced a similar circumstance as what I am going through now. All of the negative replies I have gotten I fully understand.

My take on the responds so far is that nobody that went through a similar situation has seen my OP which is because just 1 out of 5 people have anxiety issues and of that figure how many of them are OTR drivers I have no idea.

Do all of you seriously believe that out of millions of truckers non have experienced anxiety? I'm sure there are a lot and I think its safe to say not all of them quit because of it.

according to the Anxiety & Depression Association of America anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older, or 18.1% of the population every year. So 1 out of 5 people suffer from some form of anxiety. I have general anxiety disorder or GAD.

 

I started weening off the benzos in April. The first 90 days I experienced some difficult times. In August I started to feel better and better up until now. I know I can quit 100% if I do what my Dr. told me. I am taking natural supplements such as Ashwagandha root. From April until today I have already cut the dosage in half and I feel great.

Thanks for your advise.

IMHO nobody "needs" benzos. Its a quick fix and as a matter of fact when I was prescribed them 12 years ago the Dr. mentioned nothing about physical and mental withdrawals when you stop taking them. I was on 0.5 mg for 3 times per day and after a few years I told the Dr. I fall asleep very easy at night but was always waking up after just 6 hours so she prescribed 1 more 0.5 and told me to take 2 at night to help me stay asleep. You cant make this stuff up. Anyway I have a different Dr. that is helping me ween off and convert to natural anxiety helping supplements. I take natural sleep supplements now and sleep like a baby every night from 10pm to 6am.
