Prime okay with antidepressants?

You asked and you and the other mental case don't like the answer, tough. I don't care how demented you are, but the company and insurance agencies care for obvious reasons. Well obvious to those with any sense. Welcome to ignore with the other genius.

 

I agree with you I just had a DOT physical and they didn't ask about what I was taking. I offered up the cpap. The place I went to before this one wanted to know everything about me. The company I'm going to work for asked all kinds of questions

 

Most likely if you disclose they will just want a OK from your doctor. But in all honesty if it does not show up on your DT (amphetamine, opiate) and its not regarding a workers comp issue then I would not think they have a way to verify use either way.

 

Depression makes you a "demented mental case"? Some people's children lol. Must be a liberal, they can't handle people that disagree with them

 

Yes, I believe Zoloft is okay. Some antidepressants are not. Especially the ones that sedate, or can adversely effect the safe operations of a cmv. You do however have to get an okay from your doctor. Although if you have a history of mental disorders, than you will have to get a clearance from your psychologist. Just remember one of the requirements to join prime is that you will be asked to sign a medical release form stating that the company will have access to your medical info. Plus it is by law to disclose anything about your medical history to the DOT medical examiner here at primes facility. If you want to avoid all that hassle I recommend coming here after you are off those medications. There are lots of retired military drivers here I'm sure you're not the only one.

 

It's been about 5 years since I was with Prime but I was on Celexa at the time and I had no issues. All they required was a faxed note from my doctor that said it wouldn't affect my ability to drive a truck.

 

I was on Venlaflaxine (effexor) and sent home from Prime orientation the first time. I even told the recruiter all my meds before hand. But because of HIPA laws they couldn't tell me if it was ok or not. I had to quit my other job, come to springfield to be told I couldn't work for them.
I went home got off the meds for 30 days and made it through orientation the 2nd time.

 

When I applied no. But I try to leave nothing to chance.
I had my CDL already and knew that I had to get a waiver for the meds at the company I was working for. So I wanted to make sure everything was on the up and up. Its sad but you wont find out until you get there. Or at least I didn't, and I fell like I did everything the right way.
I had to be off the meds for 30days and see my Dr. My Dr had to write a letter saying that I was off the meds and stable.
I'll be honest I almost gave up on Prime. I didn't and they have been pretty good to me so far.
