revmikey 10/26/2004 10:50 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I Predict My Wife Will Fail Her Company Sponsored Drug Test My wife recently had a total knee replacement followed by a partial shoulder replacement. She has been on short term disability from work since the end of June. She is going back to work this November.
Her employer called her and said she will have to take a drug test before she returns.
OoooooooooooKay?
I mean, let me see if I can remember what drugs she took? I remember seeing her on a Morphine pump after the surgery. I remember her taking HydroCodone and Tylox for pain management. And then there was the surgery and she is currently taking handfuls of other pills with names I can’t pronounce.
I’m not sure how fancy the drug test will be. Some drug testing places will supply a description of the Mass Spec results while others will just send a note saying “Pass” or “Fail”
I’m curious to see what develops. |

So if she is on pain meds and she tells them there is no problem. |

BLACK 12/08/2005 10:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: I Predict My Wife Will Fail Her Company Sponsored Drug Test get a doctor´s note or something explaining. since they were legally prescribed she should be fine. i don´t think they can argue with a legit reason for having drugs in her body since it was surgery.
also have her drink lots of water. and go buy some goldenseal liquid extract. that detoxes the system. |
Anonymous Coward 12/08/2005 10:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: I Predict My Wife Will Fail Her Company Sponsored Drug Test the opiate based medications should already be out of her system unless she pops a handfull of oxy the night before the test. The goldenseal root does not work at all if anything all the water that you drink while taking it dilutes trace substances in urine. There are now some drug tests that check for goldenseal thanks to the popularity if using it to "clense". Still to be safe get a doctor´s note of the medication taken and she will be ok. |

revmikey 12/08/2005 10:19 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: I Predict My Wife Will Fail Her Company Sponsored Drug Test We’ll definitely get the doctors all inclusive excuse. I did hear most testing places check for goldenseal now. I also read somewhere that taking a simple dose of aspirin will produce false negatives which will fool the test. Is this true?
Not that we´re trying to fool anyone..... |

goldenseal is not an illegal substance so even if you test positve for it, so what? the only drug i would be concerened about would be for marajana as it can be detected months afterwards even if it was second hand smoke. |

It might be an idea to mention the fact in a casual sort of way if her employer is an "asshole" company. |
