What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? georgia
can you be fired from a job for testing positive for a controlled substance that you have a prescription for?
the company has NO handbook or policy in place concerning this.
i've never acted in any way to make anyone think i was under the influence of anything. i have been taking darvocet, as prescribed by my dentist, for a tooth problem for about a year, without issue. i only take it occasionally, when my tooth is really bothering me.
i hurt my back and got sent to the dr. for workers comp. they did a drug test, which is standard procedure. the only thing that showed up was ppx (darvocet). but like i said, i'm supposed to be taking it. ironically, i hadn't taken it in 3 or 4 days prior to taking the test, but apparently it stays in your system in trace amounts for a while.
