    What if I just stop taking it? Will that be a problem?

    Better ask your doctor that question. I assume you are taking it for a REASON?

    I wouldn't stop taking it without consulting with your doctor. That dangerous rash can occur if you do. Looks to me like those are some potent pills your taking. Nothing to mess with.

    It is for depression and anxiety. I was off it for awhile(because I was tight on money) and I don't recall feeling anything different. My doctor may say differentally though. Its just I don't want to risk losing or not getting the job because of that. Plus, Werner accepted me as long as I got a doctor's release. There's just so much at stake here.

    Lose the anti-depressants. Your drug dealer (doctor) will be sad but you will be better for it.

    don't lie on your app, consult your doc figure out what the proper course is. If you were given something for depression and anxiety being a driver may be a bad career choice. You'll spend most of your time in isolation, be restricted to operating during certain hours, and be placed in stressful situations weekly if not daily.
     
    Big Don and comingback4good Thank this.

    I mean no disrespect, but you can't. It's like saying you don't plan on having any accidents. Nobody plans them. You-know-what happens.

    Again, I mean no disrespect, but how can anyone here answer that?

    Look I know how you feel. I've been job hunting and have been getting turned down with 14 years experience because of an accident in '08 that I was found 100% not at fault in. Companies have told me it's because there was a fatality. Ok. I'm quite aware there was a fatality but the fact is I was not at fault and recieved no citations. It's frustrating but I'm not gonna lie on an app. and try to hide it. If I get caught lying then I have the accident and the fact that I lied on an app. following me to the next company. Be honest man.
     
    U4EA Thanks this.

    Well, I do appreciate the feedback even if its not what I want to hear. Its just i'm so eager to get my foot in the door, and despite what some of you maybe telling me, I know in my heart I can succeed at trucking. I re-trained, and my skills have picked up tremendously. My main problem with Werner was mastering the clutch, which I took care of in trucking school. I just want to go through this without any road blocks.
