How do you ever sleep with Tramadol? I take it day time. When I took it at night, i would wake up after a couple hours, and stay awake/ As long as you have a script it is okay

I don't think it will affect your getting the job. Most companies do 4 or 5 panel drug tests that vary. I have taken several and talked to some people that were on drugs like that and got the jobs anyway.

Re: Drug screen for job- will this be an issue?

Shoekitty, its suppose to be relaxing, but for me, it wakes me up. I can be tired and sleepy and it will get me out of the bed in six hours. When the doctor prescribed it, I took it with cymbalta and I couldn'tsleep at all. He told me to space the meds out. That worked! Never take the controlled release. He gave me a sample of it. Now that made me feel loopy and dazed. He then gave me the regular tramadol. I told the pharmacist about the coltrolled release sample and she said a lot of people have crazy reactions. They dont even stock that version of it. Off to bed. Raven, Im hoping they wont notice the makeup in my bag when i give them the labslip! Thank you everyone for the info and advice. Smiley Happy.

I'd ask HR. I would think they, or who ever else will review your screen, is the entity to inform. Ask how you should disclose your Rx in light of a required screen.

The drug screen is looking for illegal/recreational drugs that you might be using. If you disclose what you are on before the test, there will be no problem. As others have advised, I would bring the prescription bottle along.

Also get a note from your doctor stating that you are on this med for this purpose.

P.S. Make sure you don't eat a poppy seed bagel for breakfast the morning of the test!

Re: Drug screen for job- will this be an issue?

You said you have only had two prescriptions in two years. You should be fine IF your Rx bottle or the Rx has not expired. Check to see if the current script is expired with no refills. If it is you should have your doctor write a new current script.

If you are very concerned is it possible for you to push back the drug screen for one week? It takes about a week for opiods to leave the system. Can you just stay off the med for a week?.
