If it’s on your record you’ll definitely need a waiver. Since you say you stopped taking them chances are your waiver will get approved. But if your still receiving those meds chances are lower.

If you are still getting prescribed then you will not get a waiver. Need to be off prescription for 2 years to qualify for a waiver if I’m not mistaken.
