No.
The standard employment drug tests do not check for Benzo's, although there are tests that can detect them.
Here are the standard tests:
Marijuana (THC) 50 ng/ml
Cocaine (COC) 300 ng/ml
Amphetamine (AMP) 1000 ng/ml
Phencyclidine (PCP) 25 ng/ml
Morphine/Opiates (MOR) 300 ng/I know you meant well, but you really shouldnt supply anyone else with your meds.If his anxiety is that bad, perhaps he should see a Pdoc for a consult.
That way if he ever comes up positive on a test he can just refer it to his doctors Rx, end of matter and he wont have to tell the employer what he is seeing the doctor about.

I have done drug tests where they do test for pot.
What they test for is up to the employer, and I suspect it varies.

The drug test that my employer uses does test for benzo's, but I work for a Law Enforcement agency so the tests that they use may be more strict than at other agencys. I always test positive for alprazolam, but since I have a script it isn't a problem.
Since your BF only took a .5 mg, I'm not sure whether or not that amount will show up.
Good luck,
Shanon
