pretty nervous

[niclaure]

So I landed my dream job... in the field that I'm studying and it pays really really well. So excited. Wasn't even really looking for a job since I'm bogged down with 18 credits at school, I just kinda stumbled across it and it looked great and the hours work for me so I turned in an application figuring it was a long shot though since I figured I'd be underqualified. Well... they offered me the job! If I can pass a drug test Monday. I hardly ever smoke anymore... but July and August I was living with my brother who is a dealer and I smoked pretty constantly... at least 5 bongloads a day with a few blunts thrown in there. Since then I have hardly smoked at all... one bowl once a week, probably less... I've been trying really hard to focus on school and get my shit together instead of smoking... the last time I smoked was last Friday (8/31). One or two small bong hits. Found out about the test this Friday. Since then I have been drinking mass amounts of water, I know they say you can't flush it from your system but I figured it can't hurt... you can always use more water anyway. I'm relatively physically active although I haven't really been working out near as much as usual because of a knee injury. I'm a female, 20, 5'6, about 120 pounds. Also, I take Adderall (20 mg twice a day)... which I know will make me test positive for amphetamines but I don't care because its legit (I have a prescription). My plan with that is to be upfront with them before I even take the test and show them my prescription bottle which has my name on it and clearly states on the bottle that they contain amphetamines. What I am wondering is this- if I do test positive for amphetamines do you think they'll want to further analyze my urine to make sure its Adderall (thereby making my chances of getting screwed for the pot even greater) and also do you think the fact that I take Adderall makes my chances better? I've heard people jokingly say that going on a speed binge will let you pass a drug test (too bad they test for speed)... but that's effectively what Adderall is... would taking a little extra help me by any chance? How good do you think my chances are? And what should I be doing for the next few days up until the test (8:30 am Monday morning)?

Abstain from taking adderall for 3 days and it clears your system. Do not tell the people that you use adderal because they may do to you what they did to me. I was told that because I was on adderal I would get the job but, I would have to have someone follow me around because They wanted to be sure I could pay attention and do my job before letting me go on my own. Would you want to invest money and time into someone that needs a drug to function? Me neither so just quit taking your magic pills for a few days because amphetamines clear the system in no time and the amphetamine content in thm is low compared to METH. Oh and about the weed unless it was within the last 3 weeks don't even sweat it.

See, I thought the same about the Adderall initially. However, before I found out I was hired Friday afternoon, I took it that morning. I figured that I didn't have a great chance of it clearing my system between Friday morning and Monday morning anyway so I just went ahead and took it this morning for my study group (I have a midterm Monday at noon). I doubt I'll pass the test for the Adderall, especially since for the past few months I've been taking it twice daily, so I'm not even going to bother to try. Its totally not the case that I can't function at a job without the Adderall... actually this will be my first job since I started Adderall, and my employers have always loved me in the past because I always work harder than I have to. I definitely have ADHD, but it never affected me TOO much until this semester. I'm taking a credit overload this semester to make up for some lost time and have to sit through classes from 9 am to 4 pm with only 15 minutes inbetween each class, no breaks, which is hard for anyone, but for me its like a death sentence without the Adderall.
