ok, I understand what happened in regards to the why they requested a blind test. The only reason I understand is because my PCP informed their patients a couple of months ago that this was being implemented. I also understand that it is not the doctors fault, it is all these new laws with narcotics that they have to follow. It is their livelyhood at stake if they do not comply. It is really sad for both them and us who are suffering. It is the illegal drug market that is truly responsible for this mess. The blind tests are meant to keep people who acquire meds from docs and sell them illegally, from being able to do that. At my PCPs office the computer randomly spits out a patient to be screened.
I don't know however why you would show a negative. Possibility is that something you take is interacting with something else and giving a false result. Stranger things have happened. What is awful however, is how you are being treated because they can't come out of the textbook mindset. I hope somehow this works out for you!!!!!!
Kerensa,
Ok, so let me make sure I'm understanding this correctly? You went to a job interview and they told you to go to your doctors to get a drug test? Is that correct, or did I read it incorrectly? So, you took a test 2 months ago and it was inconclusive, and then you just took another one and it was negative for your daily medication? Do you take tylenol, vitamins, minerals, stuff that could mix with your medication? You said you had the test done by your psych doctor? Is there a reason why you didn't go to your regular doctor? I'm thinking that maybe since you take a pretty low dose of hydrocodone that may be the reason why it may have not shown up. I'm not sure about the ADHD. I do think that you should have gone to your doctor and had him do it.
Who prescribes your hydrocodone? Does your psych doctor do it, or does your medical doctor? I'm so sorry, I hope they can figure it out what is happening.
I am afraid that they will flag your chart, and could possibly refuse your prescription medication. I'm at a loss of words for you, except to say I'm sorry that this happened to you . Your job is secure, right?
