I think you are a real driver unkut. Keep posting your experiences, I am sure that others have strange stuff happen to them they just dont post it online. Copy everything to yourself and write a book when you can no longer drive.

However.... it shouldn't take over a week! I don't want to scare you while you're already concerned..... but I noticed on another thread where you mentioned your CODEINE for your migraines. If I'm not mistaken, this might still show on your tests, and you MAY have to get a doctor to talk to the MRO. I would stay on top of this, if I were you! Does your employer KNOW you take this med?? If the additional time is due to them testing the "split," there may be more afoot. YOU are supposed to request that, if you want it. Costs about 150 bucks extra (I think.) If THEY are doing it without your consent.... more is afoot. Another question..... did you list the Codeine meds on your DOT physical?? I sure HOPE so!

Does this sound legit??? He's always scammin and makin others look bad due to his negligence...... and no I'm supposedly off until the results come back!!! A little help/knowledge here would be great!!!

Something is really odd there. With Fiorocet w/ codeine, you should have tested positive for opiates and barbituates (which may only be on the expanded ten panel, so maybe not.)

Ok, so out of curiosity I call the family doc, which is the prescriber of my Fioricet. I explain the situation, which baffled him as well! But one thing he was 110% POSITIVE on was that if I took a dose of my meds with 4 days of that drug screen..... I should have received a call to prove my valid script!!! I swear, its good money, but theres something REALLY fishy about this company!!! Its eatin me alive to know what the REAL story or ordeal is!!!
