Re: Benzos and 10-panel GC/MS drug test

Wow...Now that has me concerned again because Klonopin and Valium are both benzos. I had asked about this same test on whether or not it could differentiate between what benzos you are taken..ie what will be displayed in the results. The reponse I received was that this test will not indicate specific drug usage, rather only the class/family of which the drug is in. We could sure use a subject matter expert on this one for sure.




The basic NIDA5 will not show a positive for benzo's but they can add it as an expanded test and generally they test for the NIDA5 plus 1 or two on the expanded (depending on how much money they want to spend and if they are looking for something in particular.

The standard 5 are
# Cannabinoids (marijuana, hash)
# Cocaine (cocaine, crack, benzoylecognine)
# Amphetamines (amphetamines, methamphetamines, speed)
# Opiates (heroin, opium, codeine, morphine)
# Phencyclidine (PCP)

Expanded are
# Barbiturates (Phenobarbital, Secobarbitol, Butalbital)
# Hydrocodone (Lortab, Vicodin)
# Methaqualone (Qualuudes)
# Benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax, Librium, Serax, Rohypnol)
# Methadone
# Propoxyphene (Darvon compounds)
# Ethanol (Alcohol)
# MDMA (Ecstasy)

If you fail the standard then the test is confirmed with a GCMS and with that test it can pinpoint the exact drug. (just like a hair test)

The idea is to past the first cheaper test since once you test positive for that they must confirm it with the more expensive GCMS test

I have failed once on Valium and not Hydro and another time I have failed on Hydro and not Xanax. It depends on what box they check when you sign the form.

However, if you fail for a legal drug all you need to do is prove you have a script for it by photocopy of the bottle, phone calls to the Dr are not allowed and you actually prove you have the script with the Dr who works for the testing company before the results are supplied to your employer or PO.
