Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Is there anyone with the experience with working with CP and the possible related drug tests for some positions. If my disablity does not go through I am looking at having to work. I am currently stabilized on 90mg of MS contin a day along with the enzymes and other stomach meds. I would really like you input. Thanks in advance Walt Tacoma, WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Walt, I think as long as you take your bottle in with you for drug testing and the script is current they note it on your test so that they don't include that in the spectrum of drugs they test for. As long as you are up front with them and you have proof that you are prescribed medication that may show up in a drug screen, I don't think they can penalize you for it. Have you been tot he Chat with the SSD attorney yet? We have one tonight at 8:30 est. If you have any questions you would like answered just post them and one of us will see that they get answered ok?

If is is NOT a DOT test they should ask you to list ALL meds taken in the past 30 days prescription and OTC. Be sure to include any viatmins as well. If you test positive the medical control officer should contact you and ask for a verifiable presecription . As long as its legal there is no problem. If is a DOT (truck drivers) type drug screen then they can not ask until you test postive. I hope this helps.
