I can't find it anywhere in the green book, and I've looked all over it. There are plenty of entries about getting your medical cert while being prescribed certain medications, but I can't find anything about the use of prescriptions.
Obviously you can't take anything that will impair your ability to drive, and vicoden most certainly fits that description, and I would never take one while driving, but I want to know if I can take them after I am done driving for the day. I can deal with the pain while driving, too much mental focus on driving to think much about the pain, but when it comes time to sleep, the pain just keeps me up all night :(
I didn't fill the script yet, and last night I did take one that the hospital gave me after I drove back to the T/S from the hospital just to see how it would make me feel. I slept like a baby and woke up refreshed. So I don't think it would effect me driving using it just at night, but I am not going to fill the script until I know for sure I can do so legally.
