phentermine/drug test

Updated:   Published

I was randomly drug tested Monday. A friend of mine let me try her one of her phentermine pills two weeks ago. Will that show up on the drug test, if so could I be fired for taking a diet pill without a script?

We can not of legal or medical advice hereon AN. Anytime you take a prescription that is not prescribed for you is not legal. Has everybody done it? Yes.....with a controlled substance. Not a good idea. Just because it comes out of a prescription bottle doesn't make it legal. If it turns out positive...yes you can lose your job and your have placed license in jeopardy.Many nurses get discipline on their license for one DUI

I hope this turns out well for you. I hope you have learned that taking a prescription that is not your especially if it is a controlled substance is not a very prudent thing to do.

Good Luck!!!!

Hey speak for yourself. I've never borrowed medication.
