Testing schedule

Hi guys , has anyone's testing slowed down after year one ? Last month, I had to speak up for myself because I was being tested 3 to 4 times a month and it was draining me ,  I spoke to my case manager and she said that she will speak to the members to have it slowed down after reviewing my my case,  I've made a year in jail with PRN which was October and I've noticed that now I have not been called for test since then my last test was October 5. My last test has anyone tested slow down after the first year for more than 30 days? Is this normal? I don't drink or put myself at risk at all I wanna be done but I'm just wondering .

I hear you heavy on the misery ! This sucks but you've made it far almost done . I wish I was tested so infrequently I got tested 3x per each month the whole year.

oh, my apologies I understood. that's a lot geesh

You mentioned your testing slowed down, did it really? I have noticed I haven't been selected in almost 5 weeks. Usually it was 2 x a month. This is the first time it's slowed down this much for me. Hoping it stays this way LOL.

Every state is different. You haven't tested in 5 weeks? That's great. Ours are x times a month. I had times where I tested 3 days in a row. For us it goes by the month as in x times per month as long as there are no positive tests. In New York, there was a time when testing was once a month for the entire 5 years as long as there were no positive tests. 

Keeping it unpredictable is actually the smarter way tbh. 

I wake up and check in and do a happy dance if I don't have to test that day.

Are you in a bad mood if you have to test? I get so mad. It ruins my day. 

Absolutely, every time...

Here's a quick update my test became infrequent because I was a student at the time when I got in the loop of PRN since then I failed my medical board exam and my training license has since expired It was actually expired for an additional three months while I was still testing and going to therapy with PRN. They were in the process of releasing me from the program, which is why my test became so less. It's been about two months since I've been out of PRN , they say that I have completed the program and I'm in compliance but I still feel very scared because I'm wondering even though they said no when I take my exam and I pass and I apply we just come back up I'm scheduled to take my medical exam again in the next couple of weeks so I guess I'll find out then.
