Can someone help me find the exemption for medication with the DOT if you have a prescription from your doctor

Question

I am going to test for my CDL and I have a bone disease that I treat with pain med. I dont take it only when I am in bad pain. Anyway I read if someone has a prescrition from your doctor and your doctor knows your a truck driver and you have a letter of proof when you take the ua and pain med. shows up you can be exempt. I have looked everywhere on the site and can not find it. I got so excited when I read it I forgot to copy it or save it. If anyone out there will help me find it I will be very grateful. I guess my old age is catching up with me. God bless, Koota.....................
