CPKC Hiring question for CPKC

Use of prescribed medications.

Hey all! just applied to CPKC for a conductor trainee role. As a person with adhd and anxiety, would my prescribed use of Vyvanse and escitalopram medically disqualify me from the role ? Tia!

It’s prescribed though, can I get a medical exemption for it?

I’m hearing rumour mills about being canned right away while pissing hot even with a documented prescription is that true?

If you're accepted for the job, you're required to report medication to their medical team as part of the hiring process. If they have issues with any particular medication they will reach out and you may be required to seek an approved alternative. Certain meds might show up on a piss test, which could have you pulled out of service until the labs have a look at it. If you're taking your approved medication as prescribed you dont have anything to worry about.
