What is effexor for? If you have a legitimate prescription and it does not restrict or prohibit machinery operation you are fine. When you fill out your paperwork they will ask you what prescription drugs you are taking, write it down. I had one company doc tell me that I couldn't drive while on Flexeril, a muscle relaxer from a work injury. I told her I was fine with that, disqualify me until I'm off of it, Ms. Chin wouldn't do it.can you have a prescription for Effexor and take it daily and pass your dot physical, or are you disqualified?

It's not listed as a controlled substance.
The company sees constipation as a plus. If it doesn't come with a restriction on operating equipment he's good to go and I suspect he's OK.
that's an old listing. i have no new one or updated.It's not listed as a controlled substance.
drowsiness......then falling asleep at the wheel....a hazard....The company sees constipation as a plus. If it doesn't come with a restriction on operating equipment he's good to go and I suspect he's OK.
just to clarify, it is up to the company to hire or deny him. if they choose to hire him, knowing full well his meds and side effects, so be it. i'd not want to have been on the road when he is. as it is too many drivers are on meds now, and get away with it. being lucky they have not crashed. lawsuits against the companies AND the drivers are all too real.Just to clarify. It's a friend of mine that is wanting to apply for a driving position at Abf. I have been with abf for 3 years
I feel for him and wish him well. I do not know how ABF will go with that. I do not think it's a drug that they test for and I don't know if he really has to disclose it. They look for pot, opiates and cocaine and we do have our privacy laws.Just to clarify. It's a friend of mine that is wanting to apply for a driving position at Abf. I have been with abf for 3 years
he has to disclose ALL meds he is taking. if he sidesteps this, and crashes then testing and interviews take place, when they find out he is on this drug, he will be fired, then civils suits will follow, then too ABF will be VERY liable for hiring under false pretenses...I feel for him and wish him well.

This is true and it is in the DOT regulations. A true story...every time I got sick and went to the doctor and came home with some meds, antibiotics, decongestants, etc I would stand in the window with the bottle and show it to my dispatcher. He always said, "I don't care".he has to disclose ALL meds he is taking.
