> Also, I will be moving a long way for this job, so I won't have my current prescribing doctor nearby to write out a note of explanation, should I need it.
>I think Larry's covered about all of it, but I've got another suggestion about this part: before you move, ask your current doctor for a note for the drug testing company AND for your next doctor, so that you don't have to reinvent the wheel about getting these meds prescribed.
I know, your next doctor will probably have access to your medical records, but I've found it's a hell of a lot easier to have a brief note from one doctor to another, with meds and dosages, and just saying "This works, don't fix it..." Dunno why that's always worked better for me, but it has. (Maybe doctors don't read the medical records they get very thoroughly? Dunno...)
Hope that's helpful, and congrats on the new job! Hope it's a pip.
