So, the other day, I had this whole thing with a drug test coming up for a new job. I’ve been taking methocarbamol for some back pain, and I started to freak out a bit. I was like, “Oh crap, is this stuff gonna show up on the test?”
First, I hit up Google. I typed in “will methocarbamol show up on a drug test” and started reading. I found a bunch of articles and forum posts.
The info was a bit all over the place, but the main thing I picked up was that most standard drug tests, you know, the five-panel ones they usually do, look for things like amphetamines, cocaine, THC, that kind of stuff. Good news – methocarbamol isn’t one of those. Phew!
Then I dug a little deeper. I read that methocarbamol is a muscle relaxant, and it’s not something they usually test for. Plus, I didn’t see anything saying it could cause a false positive for other drugs. That was a relief!
I also checked a few medical websites, and they pretty much said the same thing. Methocarbamol isn’t a controlled substance, so it’s not on the usual list of things they screen for.
I even found one answer from what looked like a doctor saying “no need to worry” about it. That made me feel a lot better.
The Final Step
- I decided to call the testing place. Just to be super sure, you know?
- The person I talked to confirmed what I’d read. They said they don’t test for methocarbamol, and it wouldn’t affect the results.
So, yeah, I went to the test feeling pretty confident. And guess what? I passed! No issues at all.
Turns out, all that worrying was for nothing. But hey, it’s always good to be sure, right? Now I know for next time – no need to stress about methocarbamol and drug tests!
