It would have been a sizeable parcel too.

I signed up to do an asthma treatment trial after I saw it on the news. On the link provided I filled out a short questionnaire. I wrote I took ADHD medication. They wrote back via email that I can't be part of the trial because dexamphetamine would show up positive on a drug test. The things about this that sucks the most is that the treatment may have really helped my asthma and I miss out on being paid over $5000.

That whole thing kind of sucks, Ren.
I find it deplorable that they would not want to widen their scope to include a few of us, even allowing for your medication.

You declared the medication in all honesty, so they know about it. That should be enough to at least get you into the study and possibly find a better way to cope with your asthma.

Going out today to work in the back yard, I went out with the dog who was SO excited to go out that he took off running. I did not know that my son had the main garage door open. I was planning to go out through the garage and then through the side door/man/person door, but the dog went running to find my son who was working in the alley.
I panicked immediately because I have lost so many great pets to horrid traffic. He knew it from my voice, I assume, because he stopped about half way down the drive way and turned back to my screaming his name.

I think my BP peaked up a bit, but it was so good to see him respond to my call and abandon his abandoned charge to freedom and come running back to me.

It was a rough moment.

If I had lied about it, they would have done the drug test and found out. Bummer, a real bummer. :(

No, never lie, but my Think Style is that you were as honest as possible and it shut you down. That just does not think right in my head.

That sucks, but I can sort of see the POV, too.

The way it was worded 'drug test' implies they were looking for 'illegal' substance use. Or it sounds that way to me  (I.e they'd run a panel looking for certain specific entities, not each and every drug, legal or otherwise, which has ever been synthesized, marketed, sold or made from tree or shrub rootbark, seeds etc. and completely miss anything like say, antidiabetic agents, various obscure sedative-hypnotics, antidepressants, antihistamines, chemo drugs and the like) and just look for the likely suspects (I.e the likes of 6-monoacetylmorphine [this is IIRC what is actually looked for when testing for heroin, as it is formed as a metabolite only of that drug, at least, unless one is specifically producing 6-MAM on purpose in it's own right, and this is used  to prevent the 'it was prescription morphine' or the 'poppy seed bagel' defenses being used by H users. And yes, despite what is said, apparently a single poppy seed based food item of that sort can  indeed push one over the detection limit and there have been court cases over it, even kids taken away at birth from new mothers all because they had some poppy seed cake, or poppy seed bagel etc.)

Along with (N-alkyl)amphetamine, PCP, weed. methaqualone (an old sedative-hypnotic, although why they bother to test for it is beyond me, at least as part of  any standard panel, since it hasn't been manufactured by big pharma in decades, still made clandestinely and of poor quality indeed if the analyses I've read are anything to go by, with substantial amounts of  one of the two reagents critical to synthesis of methaqualone/quaalude, unfortunately, the toxic one. The only times it ever turns up in the west, are either ancient, though active, stashes from the medicine cabinets of dead grandma and the like, or the very occasional adventurous clandestine chemist. Putting it on any standard panel simply makes no sense, as it is just so vanishingly rare.

And the likes of cocaine, etc., mostly, with the exception of quaalude, commonly used 'illegal' drugs. That shouldn't, IMO, have gone
against you in the clinical trial, especially given yours is from a doctor. It's notable they picked amphetamine as the one
they targeted, not the much more potentially dangerous MAOI (which IMO should certainly have done so, at least, without a suitable washout period first)

Didn't say shit about your other meds, did they?
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.

No, I told them about the rest of them. Even had to spell out ' moclobemide'. They just latched onto the dexamphetamine. They asked how long I had been taking it. I said, "Fourteen years."
