I agree with those who say: "ask your doctor." We all have a different combination of drugs and are reacting differently to them. Most people are shocked when they hear what I am taking because I don't appear to be "high."

I have a Commercial Driver's License (yeah, big trucks - scary, huh?) and so am subject to random drug tests. The first time I was selected, I told my boss that I would probably flunk because of my meds. To my surprise, the test came back clean.

I don't really drive trucks anymore, but keep up the license because it is required for my job. I need to be able to drive in an emergency. But I feel completely safe driving most of the time. If I feel "knocked out," I ask for a ride from someone. I usually have quite a long warning period if that is going to happen.
