Is It Safe To Drive While On Metformin, Oxycontin And Klonopin?

I have had several different types of cancer. At 17 was diagnosed with cervical Cancer at my premarital medical work-up. I was a virgin, had not had any sex at all. No penetration, no oral nothing. The doctors said was very rare for a young girl whom had never had sexual relations to have cervical cancer. I went through treatment and was ok. At 23 while pregnant with my 4th pregnancy ( 2 miscarriages) I was diagnosed with uterine cancer and the cervical cancer had returned. Uterine cancer was diagnosed with blood work and there was a mass in behind my uterus but somehow had attached itself to uterus. I gave birth full term and then had a hysterectomy with removal of bilateral overies and cervics and uterus. 6 months I had stomach issues and was found to have cancer in my small intestines. 23 inches were removed. Around age 30 I was diagnosed with malignant skin cancer. Somehow at the same time was a small nodule of small cell carsonoma on my lower left lung. It was removed. Five days before my 45 birthday I was diagnosed with AML LEUKEMIA (had been MISDIAGNOISED with mono about 2 weeks prior). Went through treatment that was 12/03. InApril of 04 went through stem cell transplant non relative donor. (Thank You Jesus) I had no several rounds of vigorous Chemo with no improvement. More medical issues Chrons, Celiac Sprue, Anemia,Type II Diabetes,Asthma, Vaginal Cancer (upper half of vagina removed 5/06) Right Kidney Cancer (in its own sac filled attached to Kidney) 2/07. Fibromyalgia (not convinced) think doctors don t have reason why I have such chronic pain (bone and intense burning nerve pain). I think Fibromylgia is the way they think I won t loose my sanity. What I can think of right now. My question right now is is it safe for me to drive. I have been on a lot of medications over the years and I have come off many. Currently I take Zyrtec, Metmorfin 500 mg 2x daily, Quinnapril 20mg 2x daily, 180 mg (slow release) OxyContin every 8 hrs, 18mg Hydromorphone (diluidid) every 6 hrs, Symbacort Inhaler 2puffs 2 x daily, ProAir Inhaler 2 Puffs every 4-6 hrs as needed, Klonopin 1 mg 2x daily as needed (take maybe 3-4 times at bedtime each month), Effexor 2 30 mg capsules in am & 1 30 mg capsule at bedtime, Zofran 4 mg every 4-6 hrs as needed for extreme neausea. I have not driven in a few years would like to drive again but need to know and make sure I am not impaired to drive. I have come off of a lot of medicine in the last year and a half. Hate the side effects. Please help me I am looking for your total professional opinion. I would not be able to live here on earth knowing I could be responsible for someone else s life God forbid I was driving and there was an accident. Help Please. Year of Birth 1958
