Hi guys and gals,
I’ve recently passed my DMI with a TOC for a trainee train Driver position and my next step before a contract offer would be to undergo a medical. I’ve been taking 80mg of Propranolol daily for 4 years to treat slight hand tremors. As this is the only thing that I think might mess up application I researched the drug to find out one of the side effects when people first start taking it is tiredness. I have never had this side effect in the time I’ve taken it. My plan is to speak with my GP and to see if he can write a letter I can give to the doctors that do the medical explaining the situation.
My question is would this be acceptable and if not what should I be doing? I don’t want it to ruin my chance of becoming a train driver when I have never experienced tiredness.
