How long do you have to be off narcotic pain medication before you are ok to drive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Opioids and driving: This really depends if you have benn on opioids for a short or long time. I typically tell my patients to wait at least 24hrs. Those that have been on medication long term i will see them first after they have stopped the medication before i instruct them in driving.
