I am bipolar, can I be a truck driver?

Question

I'm taking lithium carbonate and invega 9mg. Would I get the bipolar symptoms if I get stressed out driving a truck?

Answer 1

Bipolar disorder has nothing to do with stressing out, that's normal.  I wouldn't advertise it to my employer, but I'm bipolar and I have no problems.  Then again, I don't drive.

Answer 2

Next time you see your doctor, ask him/her. They would be much more help, as only they know your unique situation.

Answer 3

Yes. My Nephew is bi-polar and said that driving truck helps him because he has time alone and to think.  Good Luck

Answer 4

Depends how bad your bipolar. It is possible.

Answer 5

if the disorder is controlled then i dont see why it would be a problem but it would be best to check with the DVLA or someone who knows

Answer 6

just dont tell the truck company. hehe
