Hey lucio, You shouldn't have any problems from what I can tell by what you said. What med are you on? Hell a lot of us have anxiety diagnosis and if you didn't before you jump into this job, you will after! I take Bupropion in the morn and busiprone at night before sleep.
There is no sure way to tell if your meds will disqualify you or not. They best place to find out is from a National Registered Medical Examiners. Find one in your area and talk to them about your meds and see if they are approved. The biggest ones I know of are Benzo's.
CDL-Life also published a page If You Take These Meds You Might Not Get A CDL . Its a good read with good info.

What Does The FMCSA Do?

I am 45 y/o and take medication for Anxiety. It is not a Narcotic. I take it before sleep. I have been taking it for 7 years and it has not affected my ability to operate a motor vehicle and or maintain stable employment. At age 30, I said I would become OTR truck driver at 45. Will my Anxiety diagnosis prevent me from being a driver?
OTR:
Over The Road
OTR driving normally means you'll be hauling freight to various customers throughout your company's hauling region. It often entails being gone from home for two to three weeks at a time.
