Machine operating on medications. Please Help!?

I got a job as a CNC machine operator. I accidently let it slip during lunch that I was on some medication. Later a higher up asked me what medications I was on for liability reasons. I was caught of guard and told her.

Clonidine, Lexapro, Welbutrin, and Depakote.

Am I screwed? Should I say that I was thinking of medications I used to be on or something? I've been unemployed for two years, I'm really scared I'm gonna lose this job.

    First of all, don't lie. That WILL get you fired.

    You need to find out if the company has guidelines concerning medications, and whether you were informed about those guidelines when you were hired.

    If they don't, or they never told you, then you have a reason to sue them if they fire you.

    Your medications are NOT the business of your employer, unless they pose a safety hazard.

    Hope all goes well for you.
