Skelaxin is not any of the following:
Benzodiazepine
Barbiturate
Opiate/Opioid
Amphetamine/Methamphetamine
Cocaine
...
It is not a scheduled substance, and you should not be worried about it showing up on a drug screening. It has little to no abuse potential. They will not be concerned about
it, even if they knew you used it.

Skelaxin is a muscle relaxant used to relax muscles and relieve pain caused by strains, sprains, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Its exact mechanism of action is not known, but it may be due to general central nervous system depression. It is considered to be a moderately strong muscle relaxant, with relatively low incidence of side effects. Skelaxin is available in an 800 mg scored tablet. Possible side effects include nausea, vomiting, drowsiness and CNS side effects, such as dizziness, headache, and irritability.
Metaxalone exhibits increased bioavailability when taken with food. Specifically, in one study, compared to fasted conditions, the presence of food at the time of drug administration increased Cmax by 77.5%, AUC0-t by 23.5%, and AUC0-∞ by 15.4%.Thus, based on the information in the labeling, patients receiving metaxalone therapy are directed to take metaxalone with food, and are informed that taking metaxalone with food results in an increase in the oral bioavailability of metaxalone compared to taking metaxalone without food.

No, I don't think Skelaxin has any psychoactive properties and it doesn't fall into any of the classes of controlled substances chemically.
