Legally Prescribed Drugs and DUI Question - Stay tuned for the answer

I have been taking legally prescribed Slow-Released Morphine tablets for back pain for +3 years, with no impairment to my driving skills. However, I gave myself the various police-prescribed balance Sobriety tests, sober, and had minor difficulty maintaining perfect balance. If pulled over, for a turn, with failure to signal, for instance, could I be convicted of DWI simply because I take pain meds? The label says "Use caution operating a Motor Vehicle!" NOT "Do not drive!!? The circumstances in question, would preclude no other probable-cause indicators.
