Hi,
I am on these meds zyprexa. citalopram. clonazepam. codeine. I am not working now, given med.leave then told not to come back to work. but If I am called for an interview and get a new job, how can I really be expected to drive to work. I would be DUI. And more importantly I could hurt somebody, there is no public transportation, and I have nobody who can drive me. I am filing for disability, and SSI. Do you think they would consider this fact any suggestions, besides Not driving. thank you, |

My pdoc wrote a letter to my gp (general practitioner in the UK) about the fact that I'm unable to drive on my current meds, and with my condition. They sent in two supporting letters to my local council, and I got a free bus pass, which I can use anywhere in the country. It lasts for about four years, and can be renewed at the end of that time.
It was discouraging for me in a way to be banned from driving, but on the other hand I did get the support I needed. I understand that you will need a different kind of support, since you have no public transport, but your circumstances should be taken into account. Get your doctor to write a covering letter for you, explaining your situation. Hopefully that will help. __________________ Here I sit so patiently Waiting to find out what price You have to pay to get out of Going through all these things twice. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
