trucking and prescription ADHD medication
Hello , I’m curious as to primes and other trucking companies look on ADHD medicine and what ones maybe disqualified from use.
I used to be on prescription Vyvanse for a good portion of my life however I’m no longer taking it and it isn’t currently on my current med cert however it did help me in the past and I was curious about if it’s possible to get back on it I know it is an amphetamine but I just want a cut and dry answer from someone who has been in my situation with mental health prescription drugs and trucking . I also take 2 other medications which I know are ok with prime I’m just waiting on some current drs notes in order to be approved by prime but if I’m able to truck with my full potential I feel it would be beneficial to be put back on my Vyvanse. Thanks 8&1/2

Thanks for the reply’s ladies and gents I appreciate the quick responses, I did look in some of the threads about Vyvanse and there wasn’t much of anything except post from a few years ago . Which really didn’t give me much info , I’m already in the process of drs notes etc due to my Mental Illness with trinity health which I must say is really picky and demanding since I already have given them a clearance letter that my dr signed off on but now they want notes I guess my main concern is it worth the hassle dealing with saying I think I’d like to go back on my Vyvanse and add more stuff to this or even maybe call trinity and talk about it ? And if I’m going back on Vyvanse I’d need to get an updated med cert I’m assuming . It’s not that I can’t drive without my Vyvanse safely for extended periods of time , it’s just it does give me a sense of mental clarity and focus And I feel it makes me a safer driver since I’m more alert . My buddy just got back from Roehl and is on an anxiety med and he told me to just get a clearance letter from my dr like he did and I should be fine . It seems like trinity is hard to deal with .
