Schneider Zoloft/Sertraline

you need to speak with the medical dept.

 

It's an anti depressant. Probably not a problem, but I hear the withdrawal from it is severe. Can also cause involuntary nerve spasms (tics).

 

You are going to need a doctor to sign off on it.

It is not long ago DOT has loosened up a little bit with mental health medications.

My VA Spouse has successfully disconnected from any mental health medications due to reasons not connected with trucking and more towards being able to stay free and independant from what the VA does to those deemed mentally issues.

There is a price with some of those kinds of medicines as indicated by LindaPV, I would prefer you not to take anything like that.

Trucking should be it's own medication, the USA is so vast and beautiful to behold and enjoy once you get clear of the city.

 

Word...

 

Sertraline side effects is where your problems are at, believe it says not to operate equipment and also makes you prone to falls.

 

Even if DOT approves it SNI has a stricter policy about medications. Get it in writing from SNI that it's an approved med.

 

I have taken Sertraline for years with no side effects or issues. Interestingly enough, my last DOT physical was by a doctor who used to consult for Schneider and he gave me a form for my doctor to sign off on to cover my ###....I never did though. He was very thorough with the entire physical, very unlike any other one I had ever gotten.
