Title: Prescription Narcotics and Drug Testing
Post by: johnnieslingshot on Feb 15, 2015, 12:49

My Dr. wants to prescribe the amphetamine Adderall.  I have not filled the prescription because I need to know if it is a banned medication for unescorted access.  Does anybody have any insight?  I am sure it will show up when I do my next drug screen.  Will access be denied even if I list it as a prescribed med?

You don't list medications any longer when going for a drug screening. If it shows up on your urinalysis the MRO will call you and you will need to just provide proof of your prescription. It isn't going to get you banned from UA

Also don't forget to let your supervision know of what your taking as it may limit the scope of work you may be tasked with doing. Last thing you want to do is put yourself or co-workers in any danger.

Definitely a true statement.
