My ex was a truck driver (semi-) & he took quite a cocktail of drugs & it didn't restrict him. The doctor didn't need to inform the ministry about it. It was sure better than him driving when he was drinking heavily & had no memory of how he'd got there.
When he developed diabetes, then the doctor had to notify the ministry & his licencing was changed. This is in Canada though, don't know how the Sates is for this.
