So it places the burden of proof on me to supply information from my doctor to explain to them not only to expect me to take meth during work, but to HOPE I take meth during work... as to do work in the first place. And _that's_ assuming it'll work.
Hardly. In the drug tests i have done the lab only reports if you were positive to something. You provide proof to your emypoyment. Labs will not assume the liability of deciding if your reasons are legit or not.You do not heve to tell anyone **what** you are taking or **why**. Don't show anyone your meds. Get a note from your doc that says:
Fred is under my treatment and takes a medication prescribed by me which will casue a postivite test
for amphetamines.
that is all you need to disclose.**Never** show work your meds, you do not have to disclose what you are taking nor do they have to know what condition you have.
I always mention to the lab that I have a note from my doc indicating I will test positive and ask what is the procedure. Mostly they just say to discuss this with the employer but sometimes they will give you the results first, so you only have to produce a note if you test positive.
