I need to take a drug (urine) test for work.?

I do take one Elavil 20 mg/day for nerve pain (neuropathy) not related to diabetes. Will this show up on the urine test? I understand they are checking mostly for marijuana and narcotics, none of which I use. I fear if they know about the Elavil they will think mental illness.

    List the medicine and give a brief description of why you use it. That way it doesn't look like you're trying to hide something.

    It's possible..but it really depends on how much you smoke. If you smoke on a regular basis you have more THC in your system to get out so you will probably fail, but if you only smoked once that one week then you might be ok. The only real way to be sure is go to waterbeds & stuff or one of those stores and buy the detox..but make sure it's the liquid, not the pills because the pills DO NOT work.

    Depends on if they're doing GCMS or not.

    ALL RX meds can be detected in urine, it just depends on if they are looking for them.

    By the way -- they don't know what elavil is, nor do they care.

    It's not on their list of illegal stuff.

    Don't worry about it.

    This will help you.

    One smoking session for someone with a clean system takes about 3-4 days to be clean. Smoke 2 days later and then have to wait about a week, and so on. The time it will take roughly doubles every time you smoke until it maxes at about 45 days to be clean. So if you are maxed out and you wait about 2 weeks and then smoke again, you're basically back to 45 days.

    You should be fine just tell them that so your not looking suspicious or shady. Its a pill anyway, pills are treated more harmlessly then marijuana in this country which is sad because it grows on this earth naturally and is illegal.
