If it is a prescription, they may not even bother to look for it. I do not beleive they have the right to know about your medical habits. They are really checking for stuff like pot or cocaine as far as I know

Most drugs and in your case because you have back pain, you would probably be taking an opiod. Yes, it will show up in blood work. If you have a prescription, tell your employer the truth. That way no surprises or loss of job due to a condition that shouldn't be discriminated against. You can get a note from your doc explaining that you have a condition and need whatever meds prescribed. If you are alert and function normally, the meds shouldn't effect your job performance. I take pain meds too for disk herniations in back and neck. I have managed to function in college with good grades and in the work force. You should be honest in this situation. I think it will benefit you in the end. Good luck.

Xanax will stay in your system for a few days.However all drug tests need to have a certain quanitation to be positive so the more liquids you drink the more diluted the specimen is. but if you had a prescription then you could disclose that and they would let you slide but other than that... your screwed... and im not so sure about whether or not weed will show up or not

It depends on the drug. However, if you are on a legitimate prescription, if it shows up on the screen, just give them your doctor's information. The doctor will then confirm you have a legit prescription, and that will be that. It happens all the time. If you are taking Vicodin, it will show up as an opiate.

Depends on the drugs, most won't show except a few.
Be before of amphetamines. These might show, some are legal like the smoking suppressant drug Wellbutrin also sold as Zyban.
