medications and dot physical

not sure what seroquel is (non of my business) but yes a physical is required for all CDL types

 

If it's a narcotic then you need to disclose it.

 

Seroquel is allowed by DOT. I take it and as long as it is noted, you should be good because when you do an urinalysis, it will show up on it.

 

[h=1]What medications disqualify a CMV driver?[/h]PreviousNext
A driver cannot take a controlled substance or prescription medication without a prescription from a licensed practitioner.
If a driver uses a drug identified in 21 CFR 1308.11 (391.42(b)(12)) or any other substance such as amphetamine, a narcotic, or any other habit forming drug, The driver is medically unqualified.
There is an exception: the prescribing doctor can write that the driver is safe to be a commercial driver while taking the medication. In this case, the Medical Examiner may, but does not have to certify the driver.
Any anti-seizure medication used for the prevention of seizures is disqualifying.
Methadone use is disqualifying.
The Medical Examiner has 2 ways to determine if any medication a driver uses will adversely affect safe operation of a CMV:
1. Review each medication - prescription, non-prescription and supplement
2. Request a letter from the prescribing doctor

seroquel is going to require your doctor's okay for you to drive. It is legal but it has side effects that I am sure you are aware of.

I used Ambien. While it was legal it was stupid. Be safe and be careful.

 

Does these rules apply if I am self medicated and I approve it?

A driver cannot take a controlled substance or prescription medication without a prescription from a licensed practitioner.
