If you’re prescribed adderall and have to take a pre-employment drug screening (at LabCorp), how is this handled? Any horror stories of being denied employment even though you have a prescription?

No. As long as you have a prescription for it and are using it as prescribed. The lab will follow up with you if it shows up in your test, and you will have the opportunity to disclose at that time.

Some labs allow you to disclose at the time of the test, but they typically still follow up with you before sending the final results to the employer.

If you fail to follow up within the time frame they provide, they will usually send the results as is to the employer.

*this is how our MRO process works and at previous employers I've worked for too*

I was in a situation where I got an amazing internship I wasn’t expecting to get. On the offer call I was told I had to take a drug test. I smoked weed 6 times a week and took ADHD meds. So I had them schedule my exam for six weeks out, stopped taking my ADHD meds and stopped smoking. I didn’t want to pop positive for the amphetamines due to my meds and have them take a closer look at my panel in case they inspected it more closely and found traces of THC that the initial test didn’t pick up.

I think the amphetamines leave your system pretty quickly anyways, so a week off them would probably be enough. I was just paranoid about the THC component.

Passed the test, got the internship. Saw what $64 million in cash looks like on a pallet and held a bar of gold. Was dope.

I had my wisdom teeth taken out and had percs and they refused to reschedule my appointment. I actually almost passed out at the office because I was in pain.. but anyway I just have a docs note and was fine

I’ve never stopped taking my meds before a test and I used to be screened pretty regularly for my main client.

Always go to the same place down the street from my house, they ask my medications up front, and I pee in the cup. Never even hear a follow-up with any questions about the amphetamines in my system.
