Failing a pre-employment drug test

Posted by sarahcat on July 24, 2002, at 12:27:57

Hi all,
I lurk here off and on, and I wanted to ask if anyone else has had this experience:
After I accepted a job offer on Monday I was drug tested and found positive for PCP (of all things). I have never done illegal drugs in my life, but interestingly enough I had been inconclusive for PCP in a tox. screen done during a recent hospitalization.
I'm wondering if my meds could be causing these false positives. I take Effexor XR (300mg), Lithium (600mg twice daily), Risperdal (1mg in the morning, 2mg at night), Neurontin (300mg in the morning, 600mg at night), and Lamictal (25mg in the morning, 50mg at night).
Any similar experiences? Any thoughts?
I have lost the job based on this test.
Sarah
