when I go for a drug test for employment, I list the prescriptions I am on.  Narcotics do show up in a test, if they are looking for them.

Drug tests are not 100% accurate.10% of all drug tests will show positive, regardless if you are or not.  They are made by people, people make mistakes.

I am not sure how long it stays but I had a friend who had a very well paying engineering job at Dow-Corning and he had took  one pill for a toothache and did not know it would show up in a urine test. He got fired. This was like 24 hours after he took the med.

If you have done coke only one time.... It can be gone as soon as the next day. \n\nother drugs can/will stay in your system longer.\n\nWhen they are testing w/ hair, I under stand it to be much longer that they can find stuff in your system.

I looked this up for someone else the other day on a site about drug tests and it said that amphetamines take about 4 days to clear the urine and 90 days in hair.\nHOWEVER....Phentermine is a legal, prescription drug.  If you're taking it, you have a prescription.  You bring the prescription to the testing center, with the bottle showing it's legally obtained, and I can't imagine there would be a problem.  Drug testing is primarily for ILLEGAL drugs.

I'm not positive but I think before you do the actual test you have to fill out a form that asks you to list anything in your system that would make a false positive.  List it there.  \n\nHonesty is the best policy, if you are prescribed the drug, then it is legal and they cannot disqualify your application based on that.\n\nAlthough, if you are currently going through Methadone treatments I would say that is "iffy" territory.  Also, prescribed medicinal Marijuana is also "iffy territory.  Not to me, but I can see a potential employer raising an eyebrow or two.\n\nAnd YES, they do have the right to share all that info with your future employer.  I believe you actually sign off on that before the tests.

The presence of blood from your period will not affect the drug test. The test is looking for drugs and blood does not mimic any of the chemicals they are looking for which are actually the end products of metabolizing illegal or abusable perscriptions drugs

I doubt it.   Unless it's one of those gov't jobs when they call everyone you ever met to ask if they think you use drugs or anything.\n\nI went to grad school, and my employers don't give a flying you-know-what about my high school days.

metabolites, or the original compound if its not broken down in the body...  the active chemicals in these drugs are usually broken down by the body and excreated thru urine..  some take longer for the body to break down.  and some are able to dissolve in you body fat (like the THC from pot)  and therefore get slowly released into your blood and then urine over time...  so that we can detect them for alot longer.   THC can be detected for up to 3 months(fat soluble), cocaine 4 days max, since the active dose for acid(LSD) is 100 millionths of a gram, the amount of metabolites is extremely small, so the test is extremely expensive, and RARELY used... if they actually test for it (never heard of it) it wouldnt be detectable for more than 3 days. \namphetamines(exstacy, methamphetamine, STP, )  for up to 5 days max..\n gas chromatography is the method of revealing compounds in the urine.  \n\nthey dont test for prozac or any other selective seratonin reuptake inhibitor(SSRI)..  unless they had a VERY specific reason to do so..  they can find out if your taking prescription drugs that are in the same class as they test for..  they typically test for amphetamine, cocaine, pot, opiates, pcp, and maybe benzodiazepines.  \n\nSOME scripts that will fall in these categories are:\n\namphetamines: adderall, dexedrine, ritalin\n\ncocaine: maaaybe if u ate a ton of novacaine lol\n\nopiates: oxycontin, darvocet, vicodin, codiene, morphine, percocet and most other pain killers that warn about drowsiness on the bottle lol\n\nbenzodiazepines: valium(diazepam), xanax(alprazolam), atavan (lorazopam), .. sonota, ambien, librium, klonapin(clonazepam), and a few more..   \nin this last class of compounds it totally depends on which one..   ranging from 3 days to 2 weeks...\n\nfor thing not listed here...  i suggest you go to wikidedia.com and look up the ones i mentioned, and compare how long i said they would be detectable with the drugs "half-life" (listed in the right column for drugs on wikipedia) .. and compare the two numbers for each to get a feel for it.. and then look up what your wondering..  \n\nhalf life means the time it takes half of it to leave your system.

yes it does. I had a test about 2yrs ago and they called and said i had to have the pharmacist send in a letter showing that it was a legal prescription.

unless you smoke alot of it on a regular basis you should be fine. Whatever you do do not miss the appointment. Someplaces won't hire you if you miss the appointment or don't get tested within the time period that they give you.

Yes, the hormones levels of estrogen and testosterone show up in urine. However usually it will not be noticed depending on the dest being performed. A dip test for drugs will not be able to tell. but a more indepth drug test will be able to tell.

drugs in general will pass through your system within a few months and not show up in a urinalisis, but they can still be detected though blood and hair folicles.

Aspirin shows up if they test for it. If you have a muscle relaxer in your system, you had better have a prescription and be prepared to answer the questions as to why you have it. Bring all your prescription medications with you[to the test] and tell them when you took the last dose. Luckily, if you don't pass, they can't tell your potential employer what they found, just that it was positve. Or, they can say it was postive but that you have a prescrip. Your employer can then ask if your meds will hinder your performance but not what it is you are taking. Good luck!
