Drug Tests


In order to qualify for a clinical trial they give drug tests during the screening process and on each visit. Does anyone know if tranquilizers are tested for.

The is REALLY important for me to know ASAP...thanks.

It's not any mental health issues usually, it's just that you need to be watched and monitored more carefully. At least in the non-trial world that is as far as I know.

You should NOT be getting that faced with hcv.........if you keep it up likely in a while you wont have to make any decision at all.

can-do-man,
Rx drug's not OK. Any mental health issues would have disqualified me so when I asked I said I didn't take any medication. I already had two drugs tests which will definitely be negative but I'd like t take something to take the edge off and I'm afraid to.

UKgirl- curious where you found this, thanks. Well then I guess Benzo's are out. I had no idea they tested for alcohol. I was quite drunk 36 hours prior to latest test. Well, maybe this is one less decision I'll have to make...going to shoot myself now...later

This is what I heard they test for on this trial.

PCP, Amphetamine, Barbituates, Benzodiazapine, Cannabinoid (MJ) Cocaine, Opiate, Oxycodone and Alcohol.
