[showerthoughtsofficial]: When medication says “do not operate heavy machinery” they’re probably mainly referring to cars, but my mind always goes to forklift.
[sauntervaguelydownward]: It has honestly never occured to me that this warning was about cars and not construction equipment
Neither would I. Even if they can safely complete tasks, their workflow is wonky. This is slow work at best, counter-productive at worst.
But the bottle directions are don’t operate heavy machinery. That line needs to be somewhere. I propose if you can’t deadlift the machinery, it’s too heavy to operate.
I can get behind the deadlift rule!
It depends, your body does adapt overtime. the meds I’m on when I first took them knocked me out completely, now they do nothing in terms of alertness. I am now completely safe to drive on them.
