I have meds that make me drowsy, but I've never been told not to drive. They just slap a label on the side that says "Don't drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how this drug affects you." I can take 0.25mg of Klonopin and be okay, but even then I avoid driving if I need to take it.
I try to avoid my drowsy drugs during the day since you can still get in trouble driving drowsy.
