New CDL-A holder question

Yeah so I just received my CDL-A through a community college and I'm looking to get a job driving.

My issue I'm having is I take a prescription medication that is a narcotic. I applied to a company and explained to them that I take this medication and they touched base with me after I submitted my application that they can't hire me while I'm taking this prescription. The recruiter said I can't drive with them even though I stopped taking my meds a week ago. (I don't need this medication either, it's just a supplement prescription) She said I'd have to come back in 6 months and try again.

Are there any companies that will hire me even though my DOT long form says I take these medications? I understand that even if I fail the company drug test, it won't be held against me because I have the medication listed on my DOT physical form.

Which companies DO NOT do hair follicle testing and also hires student drivers?

 

I went to the doctor about a year and a half ago for stress and difficulty sleeping. He prescribed me an SSRI called Lexapro and I'm supposed to take it daily before sleep. The other prescription is Clonezapam, which is a benzo (similar to xanax but is more theraputic.) I'm only supposed to take the Clonezapam on days that the Lexapro isn't cutting it (bad days, high stress.) I probably take it once or twice a week. I don't NEED it, but it does help. I've found I can substitute it with benadryl, so I'll take the allergy medication with the Lexapro and it'll usually help me fall asleep.

Also: I didn't know this was a drug sensitive industry when I went through the training at the school. Had I known this I would have gotten off it sooner.

I called the DOT examiner where I got my physical and they said I can't redo my physical for atleast 2 years. I'm gonna try my luck with an oil field company hauling a tank. They'll surely hire me on right away.
