Depression, ADHD, hypertension, and asthma.

I don't know about the other meds in your list but Concetta and Ritalin for ADHD.
will make getting a driving job real hard! although a Doctor can provide you a note stating in his or her opinion you can take Concetta and Ritalin and drive a truck. I know employers will not hire you when taking these two amphetamines. I too am ADD but chose to stop taking Ritalin when I started driving. I didn't suffer any problems stopping and haven't needed to take them again. O LOOK A RABBIT!!

 

I take Lexapro for my depression and i didnt have any problems getting hired with Heartland when i worked for them. The others im not sure about. Probley your best bet is to call a truck driving school and ask them and or call a Dr that does DOT exams and see what thay say.

 

NO...........DO NOT call a school............they will lie and tell her, "no problem, come on in and sign on our dotted line".......!!!!!!

 

Trazodone: you should know that trazodone may make you drowsy and affect your judgment. Do not drive a car or operate machinery until you know how this medication affects you. If drowsiness is a problem, ask your doctor about taking part of your dose at bedtime.


Celexa; You may become suicidal, especially at the beginning of your treatment and any time that your dose is increased or decreased.

Abilify: You should know that your mental health may change in unexpected ways when you take aripiprazole or other antidepressants even if you are an adult over age 24. You may become suicidal, especially at the beginning of your treatment and any time that your dose is increased or decreased


I JUST DON'T KNOW..........BUT YOU WILL HAVE TO DISCLOSE THIS MEDICAL INFORMATION...........

i'll check on the others, and if any of those show up as a schedule I or II drug, you're pretty much out.

 

METHYLPHENIDATE (Concerta/Ritalin)09-17-71 10-28-71 36 FR 20686 10/28/1971 III -> II

this is a Schedule II drug, but not narcotic..........

however this:


Methylphenidate (MPH; Ritalin, Concerta, Metadate or Methylin) is a psychostimulant drug approved for treatment of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, and narcolepsy. It may also be prescribed for off-label use in treatment-resistant cases of lethargy, depression, neural insult, obesity, and rarely other psychiatric disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. Methylphenidate belongs to the piperidine class of compounds and increases the levels of dopamine and norepinephrine in the brain through reuptake inhibition of the monoamine transporters. MPH possesses structural similarities to amphetamine, and, though it is less potent, its pharmacological effects are even more closely related to those of cocaine[1][2] yet without those addictive effects.[3] MPH is most commonly known by the Novartis trademark name Ritalin, which is an instant-release racemic mixture, although a variety of formulations and generic brand names exist.[4]


you might not pass a drug screening, you would need a doctors letter explaining what you are on, however, since the side effects are like cocaine you might be denied employment.


maybe someone else has something to add..........???
