Where I live the DR is not required to test for anything before writing a prescription for anxiety meds. It might be different in Missouri, not sure.

^ yeah man, I live in Texas and got prescribed adderall vyvanse all that kind of stuff and never got drug tested. in Texas is a very Republican state so I'd imagine if I didn't get drug tested in Texas then you will be fine in Missouri

In my experience the only places that actively drug test are pain management clinics/doctors. My pcp gave me a UA not too long ago, but she's fully aware of my addiction history and wanted to know I was clean before prescribing a CV (pregabalin), which I can understand.

The mods are probably gonna hit you, there's not supposed to be any topics relating to drug testing. Just letting you know.

^I thought since it was for a legitimate medical purpose it may be allowed.

 

[chrisastler94]

I think because it's not about a probation test or your parents testing you, and that it is for a doctor in harm reduction it would be allowed

I think you'll be OK on that one
