    Lemme see if i can dig it up but ill give you the short of it now.

    Opiates
    benzos
    amphetamines
    sleeping meds

    If your prescribed any of these your dr will have to sign a form saying they don't effect your ability to drive. Even then it's still up to the MRO to give you the go ahead or not. I also think a few drugs like methadone and suboxone is a complete no no but im not sure

    When I got my latest DOT physical the doctor told me that soon everyone that is on meds, any meds, will only be able to get a 1 year card.

    It soon won't just be for blood pressure anymore.
