> I just got called in for a job and they do drug test. I just started taking dextroamphet 5mg. for add. I just took one this morning. How long will it take for it to be out of my body and not show up in a drug test? I would really not like to tell them I take this, because this is a very important job and I'm afraid It might hurt my chances of getting it. I have to go in for a interview at 12:15 tomorrow. Thanks.
I just went through the same exact thing. I take dexedrine spansules at a pretty hefty dose of 40 mg/day for ADD. I was really worried about my new employer refusing to give me the job because I'm on a controlled substance. When it showed up on my urine test, the doctor simply called me and asked me if I was on prescription medication. I gave him the prescription number from my bottle and he said that the fact that I was on this medication was confidential so no one at my new job would know I was on it. I don't think they are legally allowed to tell your employer the results of your test unless you show up with a drug and can't produce a doctor's prescription for it.
