I Am Prescribed Lortab, But Had A Pre-employment Test

Updated

I have been prescribed 10mg Lortabs, to be taken 3 x's per day. Yesterday I only took 1 1/2, and the day before I only took a 1/2. Not because of the pre-employment test, but because that's all I needed. The last one I took was at 8:30pm last night. Today at 12:30pm I took a drug test for a job. If I am only taking 1/2 the amount, and I am legally prescribed Lortab, why would I fail? I am not an abuser at all. It would seem to me that the test would need to show "therapeutic" levels of the drug and whether or not I am above the level.

Did you tell them you had a prescription for it?

If so, then it shouldn't cause a failure, unless it is a job where it is specifically illegal for you to be under the influence of narcotics when working, such as truck driver, or airline pilot.

These types of tests don't even usually look for the levels of the drug.

Yes, I informed the company looking to hire me. I told them I would offer proof with showing my prescription, but they did not respond back, and it's been two days now. That's not a very good sign to me. It's kind of sad that I was prescribed the Lortab's temporarily to relieve a painful infection and a company would use that against me. I guess because of the proliferation of abuse it affects the innocent people having to take it. Well, I did the right thing by notifying them in advance and offering proof of the legal prescription.
