I'd like to hear if anyone (in the U.S.) has had experiences with employer drug testing while on psych meds. (I did find a thread from a few years ago...wondering if anyone has any new insights.)

I consider myself very functional and employable at this time. However, I take some serious stimulants (Adderall, Vyvanse) and occasionally take a benzodiazepine (ProSom). And I know drug screens look for amphetamines and benzos!

How will it be handled if (more like WHEN) these substances are detected by the lab?

If I give the lab my list of prescriptions and doctor contact info, will they verify that the meds are legit, and keep the info confidential from the employer?

I would really rather NOT disclose any medical information to the employer itself (not even human resources) unless I believe it's absolutely necessary. I don't plan on requesting an accommodation for a disability at this time. (Luckily, I have never had to in nearly 20 years of employment.)

IMO, it is none of the employer's business if I have a given condition, as long as I am performing up to par. I know how much prejudice there can be toward a psych disorder, no matter what the laws say.

I am considering consulting an employment attorney to understand exactly what my rights are, but would like to hear your experiences first.
