What could it possibly be... like a painkiller maybe? I'd let them know beforehand if that's the case. They don't test for things like Ritalin or benzos typically, and unless you happen to be on methadone (in which case you're not getting the job anyway) you probably don't have much to worry about. I'd tell them beforehand if it's something that's commonly used for recreation though... but nobody's testing for your ED medicine so don't sweat that.

Hi 3

Did nobody else realize how funny this post was?
 
juan-on-juanI'm prescribed adderall, so I'm worried about testing positive for amphetamines.

The test center may call you and ask you for your pharmacy # so they can check to make sure you have a legit prescription. Happened to a couple people I know.
