Question about drug test

Please i need your help and advice:-)

So, my Dr thinks I'm depressed and wants to put me on Effexor. From what I read about the medication, it can give a false positive for PCP on a drug test, and we have ours scheduled for next month. I really do not want to take an antidepressant, but also do not want to feel like this during school because I know it is going to e hard as it is. I'm tired and fatigued all the time, have panic attacks, i cry for no reason etc...

Am I going to have problems at school? Can they reject me because I'm depressed? Should I ask them before taking the medication?

i am sorry you are having a hard time. we cannot offer medical advice here at an as it is against the terms of service. you need to follow up with your pcp and your therapist/counsler. i think that would be beneficial for you. vivalasviejas, a guide and frequent writer here on an, has an article you may find helps and comforts you.

know that you are not alone. :hug:

who the heck am i now??

no one ever forgets the day he or she is diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder. the experience is forever burned into the brain, leaving an indelible mark on the psyche. but hearing someone pronounce the words that will change your life forever is only the beginning; now the real work begins as you come to terms with the loss of the person you thought you were, and face an uncertain and unknowable future.........https://allnurses.com/general-nursing...am-714316.html
