Failed Pre-employment Drug Screen Opiates, Unfair!!!!!

Updated

Took a pre-employment drug test (failed) which showed "level of opiate too high". I take Tylenol 3 and Talwin; I don't take any more than prescribed. They wouldn't hire me because of this "high level" reading. I don't understand, and am angry that it wasn't anything to do with being impaired. My doctor has prescribed these for about 6 years now, it has never made me impaired; if I had been impaired at work, I'm sure someone would noticed it by now(I'm a nurse). The HR woman said I should have not taken my opiates for 3 days, then take the test. I refuse to do this because I haven't done anything wrong. Let the job be damned! Anyone else ever had this happen to them?
