I don't know, but I really wouldn't worry about it (particularly since there's nothing you can do about it). Employers don't care about these particular drugs you are mentioning--they are interested in the illegal stuff, like marijuana and cocaine. Now, if you were taking amphetamines for ADD, this might actually be an issue, as one might expect that this is the type of thing they are actively looking for. However, at least in the US, an employee (or potential one) could not be discriminated against if they had been prescribed a controlled substance for a particular medical condition--well, at least outside of the sports world, where a different set of rules seems to apply.Todd
