Hi,
Thanks both to Dr Bob and alexandra k for your replies.
You are right, its very expensive to do testing, but the company I work for is one of the richest companies on earth and can do what they want!Unfortunately, my employer has also it written into their safety charter that anyone who has ever been depressed, has ever taken or is taking an antidepressant, is precluded from certain activites. You'd think I was in the military but its something much more normal, they're just draconian when it comes to these things. That means that yes, they specifically test for antidepressants. If they showed up, it would have a massive impact on my career (as if any condition I have wasn't enough to fight with in the first place).
I will give the substances board a shout, though I don't think there is any way around these tests- they seem pretty exhaustive.
Thank you for your thoughts.
Ross
