Hey people. Hoping to get some advice. Please don’t judge I made a mistake and am paying for it 200% now! I had a crash and blew 101 on the breathalyser so it makes me a high risk offender. I know I know I don’t need the lectures believe me! I have just completed the drink driving course which will reduce my ban from 12months to 9 months yes I got off very easy in that aspect I know but I lost my job my relationship my parents my house pretty much my entire life I am now on a serious course of antidepressants and I also take co codamol for a previous broken leg that’s never healed properly. I need to do a dvla medical to get my license back but I’ve been on co codamol for around 5 years I’ don’t believe I’m dependent on them I can run out and be okay for a few days but I get in so much pain when I don’t take them that I don’t believe I can go more than a few days without them totally I can easily cut them down but to not have any will put me in agony and I’m a chef on my feet for 12 hours a day! I know they will be in my medical records and will come up in a blood test but would this be something I could fail on? Could my antidepressants be something I could fail on? I only started taking them because of this idiotic mistake of mine which I brought on myself I know. But i am actually a good person who’s just down on her luck and in need of some help.
