    Here is a article to read.

    GAD medicine you speak of is a second line issuing to those who has failed the first line medicines. I think your condition is pretty advanced.

    In general Benzos or other similar medicine is a disqualification for CDL. In fact, you will be needing to flip your sleep cycle day to night and back again according to hours of service needs and be able to sleep at a moment through and wake up and GO clear eyed and bushy tailed without drugs. Grab a coffee if you need a kick...

    These last 10 years or so, the industry has grown intolerant of any drugs at all. Even tynenol PM has a active drug capable of failing a road side DUI test (eye test) for up to 20 hours after taking.

    Get a DOT physical, then you'll know if you can drive or not.
    Some places charge less than a hundred dollars; such as CVS Pharmacy or Kroger "Little Clinic."
