Klonopin In Urine

Updated

I was infromed that I had to take a 10 panel drug test for my next job assignment. I take a prescribed therapeutic doses of Clonazepam 1 to 2 mg a day for the last 7 years.
I knew the 10 panel test look look for my medication so I went cold turkey off my meds for 3 days before doing the test. (stupid I know) but I did not want my employer to know I was on it. anyway I never got a call from the mro after 4 days and I was running out of time so i called HR and ask if I was good to go for the assingment and he said yes. Im not sure if the 3 day wait helpped or the test indicated a I was taking a therapeutic and was just reported nagitive. I just wish the testing center would let you give them the Rx and send it with the sample. I hope this may help someone who may be in the say situation.
BTW the testing was done at Quest labs something like

If you have a prescription for the medication, while they have the right to verify that with your doctor, they aren't supposed to inform the employer of what you are taking and why. That would be covered under the new HIPAA privacy laws.

In the future, you should also know that a sudden withdrawal of a Benzodiazepine, after it has been used for such a long period of time, puts you at risk of suffering dangerous seizures.

Are there any other questions or comments?

I have been taking 8 mg of klonopin each night for about 2 to 2 1/2 weeks now . I have run out of my zanaflex to help prevent my migranies. i now have to take my yearly drug screen for my job and it is a detailed test that shows each individual med in my system. how long do i need to wait to make sure the klonopin is out of my system?

I recently took my annual 10 panel test. This time I did not stop taking the clonazepam before the test, after the last time I thought I would just let the chips fall as they may, since I have a prescription.

Two weeks later I was at the clients job site for annual renewal of safety training with a copy of an emeil from my company's corporate HSE simply stating I took a 10 panel drug screen on such a day and was in compliance with the company's drug and substance abuse policy. No calls from a MRO or any one else.

Taking the test after watching the various safety training videos was the hardest part this time around. :):):)
