Question:

Can you operate heavy machinery if your taking adderall xr?

Can you operate heavy machinery if your taking adderall xr?i just got a good job recently and i also got my prescription for adderall which i have been on and off since i was 13 or so .... it really helps me focus and with life in general ...but i was wondering that if an employer knew i was on this drug would i lose the job.... i'm going to have to tell them soon anyway seeing as how there are drug tests . i took a pre employment drug test and passed ...2 days later i received the adderall again (nothing to do with the test) and adderall shows up as an amphetamine . i just need some peace of mind about the situation i really don't want to lose this job.. if anything i feel i could operate the equipment better now . could they fire me for being on this?

Answer:

Yes, it is not a sedative.
Yes. It should actually improve your driving by making you more focused than usual.
