It is commonly recommended that you try the prescription medication at least once or twice before you attempt to drive so that you know how react to the drug. So the answer actually depends on how the medication affects you personally.

Prescription drugs Are always okay to take when driving as long as they are prescribed by a doctor.

Correction:The above answer is 100% wrong. While a prescription will keep you from being arrested for drug trafficing, you are responsible to drive only when you are unimpaired by Anything.

It varies state by state. Prescription drugs, over the counter medications, alcohol, or illegal drugs, if you are driving impaired, you can and will be pulled over. Some cops may cut you some slack, if they know it is a prescription drug, but I wouldn't take the chance. If you feel you are impaired taking the medication, do not get behind the wheel of heavy machinery.

Certainly not, it will depend on what the drug is. Always read the directions and warnings carefully. If you have questions, call your doctor or pharmacist, they will help you.

No. As long as a doctor prescribes a medication you need to verify if is safe to drive under the medication before drive car or other machines

Is it illegal in the State of Florida to store Prescription drugs in a container other than its prescription bottle?

If all you are doing is storing them - in your residence - in different bottles it is okay. If you intend to carry them out in public - it is against the law in all 50 states. The reason is; YOUR name is on the RX bottle label and the prescription med can be linked to you INDIVIDUALLY. If it is another, unmarked, bottle you will have no proof that you are lawfully in possession of it.
