No, employers should not be able to dig into your medical info in the first place and anyone here not taking that seriously is probably a post-Reagan baby (or plain jackass). We've lost a lot of rights in the past couple decades just capitulating to blanket and random drug testing of people not operating heavy machinery or working with the vulnerable. Additionally it sounds like some HIPAA violations going on with the public discussion of your prescriptions....
...but yes, false positives (and mishandled tests) are fairly common. Ibuprofen used to cause THC false positives, and otc Naproxen and a number of prescription drugs still can. And, well, lots of potential for further privacy invasion.... http://www.aclu.org/racial-justice_womens-…
Wow disastronaut, way to exemplify the stigma surrounding "mental illness" that this post is attempting to address. Maybe you could do some research about the drug in question before labeling the OP as unstable. OCD, PTSD, fibromyalgia and anxiety/depression are not good reasons to be disqualified from a government job, or to have your privacy invaded.
Now quit liking your own, highly predictable comment. It wasn't clever.
ok disastronaunt poster....apparently I pissed you off? Gee you act like your the one on Prozac ( or you need to be on it). This sad situation actually did happen to me yesterday, and yes I do take the stuff daily along with other stuff. Just keeping it real with some much needed humor. Apparently you did not find this humorous. Your loss.
