[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 711952, member: 1963"] Let them know what you are taking and what dosages. You should be fine on the xanax so long as the test results show normal therapeutic ranges based on dosages prescribed. I've been on benzos for years and years and have never failed a drug screening. I've even taken a drug screening to work for state gov't as a contractor while on vicodin for a neck injury. I called the testing site and told them what i was taking and how much/how often. I was told to bring in the pill bottle when I came in to give my sample. At the time I gave my sample (having last taken the vicodin before bed the night before) I was told that so long as my levels showed that I was not abusing the medication, I would be fine. HOWEVER, the contracting house, while hiring me, would not allow me to start work until I had a clearance letter from my treating physician and had been re-tested clean of the vicodin. I was told this would not have been the case if I had been taking the medication on a chronic basis. Your other medications? If they give you a form to list medications, list 'em. The xanax is the one you have to worry about. Bring the bottle with, make sure pill counts match RX dates and dosing instructions, and don't sweat it. [/QUOTE]
