Hi
So I hope one of you can help me out. I went today to get screened for my SA internship and I was drug tested. I have never gotten tested before and wasn't aware of the procedure, the nurse didn't ask me if I took any medication, and I just simply followed her instructions- peed in the cup and left. Although after doing some reading online I saw that the pseudophedrine(120 mg extended release) in the Allegra I took this morning for allergies will likely come up as a false positive for amphetamines. What do I do? I'm really worried that i'm screwed.
Call em up and explain
You do nothing until the results come back
You're fucked

make your choice..live or die
Umm don't become an expert on the topic. If the issue actually does arise, act dumb. Mention you take allegra.
In all seriousness, you're in college, and popped addies - you don't think they've seen that before? It's no big deal and you have an excuse to back it up. Just hope for the best and that it goes your way.
It's likely that an MRO will call you if it comes up positive and explain that you took the Allegra. They'll likely make you take it again.
I've had a lot of inconclusive drug tests. It has always ended in a retake.
I've known a few guys who actually had the DEA show up at their house after failing one too many drug tests.. It's more serious than you think.
Not sure if this is troll or just feeding bull shit on WSO. DEA showing up? LOL?
All drug tests are confidential.
Just don't sweat it. It has happened before, probably even to HR.
Allegra is a common medication. Which is more likely: random student (likely at a target with good grades) has a raging meth addiction, or had a head cold? It will either be a retest or nothing at all.

if you fail a drug test can you take it again? especially if it was a false positive?
meth addict
Flase positive, yes you can retake it. My father failed his drug test at ML and had to retake it. He ate some poppy bagel in the morning. He was quite upset lol!!! He retook it like three days later.

At least now we know how to do drugs and get away with it! But seriously, don't sweat it. They probably have ran into that situation before.
This sounds like the nurse wasn't as thorough as he or she could have been. Calling back requires a delicate touch. You can try to call up the nurse first and, if not, call the employer directly. If they buy your story, offer to take it again immediately. If not, hope that it hadn't reached your urinary tract by the time of the test. But you don't want to seem too antsy.
