In reply to Provigil - Employer Drug Test- Does it show up?, posted by Smeegle on September 8, 2003, at 12:53:51
Hi, unfortunately, Provigil will show up on a drug test and be mistaken for an amphetamine. It actually is not an amphetamine, but it acts like one and shows up on these tests that way. Klonopin may show up, it showed up in my drug test I had for an employer last summer. It also depends on whether the employer tests for benzodiazepines and other sedative-hypnotics.
Your employer will obviously be more understanding if you just tell him/her only if they do ask. Or, you could tell them before you are tested~I didn't, felt no reason to, since you're prescribed it, I'd wait and see if they even ask. Then, like you said, 'all I have to do is prove that I have a legit prescription to be taking it'
Your work record, I'm sure will speak for itself, and a doctor's note might help too:-)
Good luck!> I was prescribed Provigil two weeks ago and it has really been a Godsend and has helped a lot. Today I got called in for random drug testing for work. I know that if it shows up, all I have to do is prove that I have a legit prescription to be taking it, but was just wondering since it's not supposed to actually be a stimulent, does it show up on a drug test (non-fed test). Just wondering if I should be expecting a call questioning my results.
