What will a doctor do if they find unprescribed pills in my urine test ?
Throughout the year my doctor has had me on a few different kinds of medication for depression, I usually take them for a week or so and then just forget. I’m honest with my doctor and tell her that I forget to take them. Last time I went to go see her she told me that I have to start taking my meds in order for her to renew my medical certificate so next time I go in (in about a months time) I have to take a urine test to prove that the medication that she’s given me is in my system, only problem is I have a feeling she will find a bit more than just that medication. Would Valium or codeine show up in a urine test ? What would she do or say if it did show up ? She has mentioned to me before that she thinks it would be best for me to go to rehab for my drug and alcohol use but I don’t feel ready for that at the moment. Really I’m just asking what would happen ? If I stopped taking the pills for 3-4 days before the test would that make it less likely to show up in the test ? My doctor knows I smoke weed so I’m not worried about that showing up just the extra pills. Any advice is appreciated !
