Thanks, snowie!
According to that code, my ritalin would be out, but it seems the others would be ok (effexor and serzone).
It is interesting that steroid inhalers for asthma are allowed as long as the need is documented in writing.
I heard that the gymnast wouldn't have had a problem as long as the doctor had written more completely what he prescribed--ie, he wrote the brand name of the med (pain releiver), but left out that he was directing her to take the cold/flu version of it, which has the pseudoephedrine in it, in other words, it would have been ok for her to take it, but it needed proper documentation and the doc omitted that.
