This has come up here a lot, so do a quick search on drug testing to read some of the other threads on teh subject.
Bottom line, though, is that employers have to pay to have the tests done, and they don't want to pay extra. There's a little bit of wiggle room with HIPAA, but generally speaking your prescription drugs are not gonna be looked for. And make no mistake: they have to look for a drug. Those tests are not passive, most are quite specific to the drugs being tested for.
My question, though, on the same lines, is whether Dexadrine would show up on a test like this? Of course, if it did, and it was prescribed, that shouldn't be a problem.
{shrug} Good luck, either way. You can be assured, though, that they won't be testing for Cymbalta.
