If you drive while having any controlled substance or its metabolite in your system, including common painkillers like Percocet, codeine, and oxycodone, anxiolytics like Xanax, and even medications for depression. It is a defense to this charge if you have a prescription for the medication, but you can still be charged for driving under the influence if you
