I would talk to HR or your supervisor and tell them what is going on and see if it will be a problem to work on the meds. I know that if you are pulled over while on opiates it's the same as a DUI even if they are perscibed. I don't know your company policy but HR will.

I've only eaten at carls jr in San Clemente but my boyfriend used to work up there so I'll ask him and PM you when I get home.

I operate  150 ton crane at songs, so i'm worried that the Medicos at san onofre may not allow me to operate while under the influence...i often stop in san clemente to get lunch before work. any sugestions for a good sandwhich? or Burrito to go ? thanks !

If you are perscibed the medicine by a doctor than you just need to show the lab that's testing you that it's perscibed. But if you have an important job at the plant than they may not want you on the meds. It takes about three days to be out of your system.  

I also want to say hi neighbor. I live in vista which is by Carlsbad and drive by the power plant a lot!

thanks for your replys. i had several surgurys in the last 3 months, and my doctor saw a pattern of missuse in norcos. he feels this will better control my "addictive Behaviour' in taking pills !the fentanyl is strong, and i need to go back to work. i also would like to know how long i need to be off the patch so i may pass a drug screen for work at the san onofre nuclear plant. thanks all !

That is a HUGE jump up to fentanyl....and could be VERY DANGEROUS! I would recommend NOT putting that patch on! It sounds very strange...why wouldn't the dr increase the # or norcos you could take?

I hope you joking. If you've only been taking 1 norco a day, it will be too strong for you.

25 mcg per HR? Is this a patch? I thought this was a pain patch replaced every 3 days. Or am I misunderstanding an abbreviation? I would read up on fentanyl  (type it in the search line). There are lots of cares to be considered with it and it is habit forming as well. But it has been fatal to some people. My friend's mother just went to the hospital after her dr. put her on this patch for pain (she has heart arhythmia). ER said "you can't be on this med". Be careful with this one. God bless.
