No they should not be driving if their treatments are not working. However if there is some improvement there is no reason not to drive. The dangerous ones are those who have severe sleep apnea, are not diagnosed or in treatment, and do no know enough to pull over and nap when they feel drowsy.
I am on provigil and it does seem to help my alertness during my mind numbing job. So far though I don’t know if No Doz pills would be just as good. Certainly a lot cheaper.
If they are being treated why shouldn’t they drive?
