Positive result

Nurses Recovery

Hi! I'm in the TPAPN program and am required to randomly screen. It always takes a week for my results to pop up. I tested last week and on the day of testing took my prescribed vyvanse (approved and listed as my prescribed medication). Normally if it's in my system when I test I see the status option as "case manager (determination)” and the result as prescription positive. I got my result back today on a Saturday and after holiday so my case manager isn't in office right now. Can my result just pop up as the status reading "test" and the result "positive" and it's just not reading prescription positive because he hasn't been in office to review the results? Thank you.

Most likely that's the case, so I wouldn't worry. I take Vyvanse as well and have had the same thing happen to me numerous times. Trust me when I tell you that, if it's a positive for something you aren't supposed to be taking, you will hear about it as soon as it's seen. 

I just stopped checking mine because I'd but myself through needless stress and relive trauma that's not necessary.  Unless you're worried about something else, I'd forget it.

Even if it's the weekend I'd immediately hear from them?

yep thats what happened to me taking vyvanse in tpapn! It happened to me over NYE last year, longest weekend ever!! LOL it changed from "positive" to "prescription positive" the next business day when my CM was back in the office

ETA agree with the other poster, as tempting as it is to check, it was much better for my mental health not to. Trust me, they will contact you if there is an issue! ?
