Pre-employment drug testing?

[trillium13 84]

I need to take a drug test for a job I've been offered. I do take some prescription medicine that may show up on the test. I've been told that as long as I have a prescription I'm fine, and I do. I just freak out easily. I'm moving to a whole new city for this. :/

The test is at a freestanding testing facility, not the employer.

Help me stop freaking out? Maybe?

If you fail a test a rep should contact you to see what gave the positive.

When you go to take the test take all medication in the bottle with you. Make sure they note it on any paperwork you do.

Before my test i was told to bring all prescription medication that i was on to the testing so they could make note of it on the testing etc.

test was simple and quick in and out in about 10 mins and was really nothing. pee in a cup! don't flush the toilet. all done.

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it. I've had to do it for a job before and they just gave me a form to fill out before the test to list any medications I was on.

Work is overrated anyway so relax.

don't freak out unless they want a hair sample.

Then it will take a lot more than flushing out your system to hide the "prescription" ;) drugs.

With a prescription bottle, you should be fine

I didn't need mine.

I know somebody that got turned down for a job, and suspended by the union for 90 days, all because he took one of his wife's painkillers a couple days before the piss test. Make sure those prescription drugs have your name on the bottle.

It went fine, I didn't even get a phone call, which really surprised me! I worried for nothing.
