do valium and xanax show up the same on a probation urine drug screen?
just wanting to make sure of this. I have RX to xanax, but I used to be prescribed to valium. Less than a year ago my Dr switched my Rx to xanax.
Chosen Answer:
It could. One time I had diarrhea real bad from food poisoning and I got a prescription for an antibiotic and something to relax my intestines and the pharmacist at walgreens told me it was something that would show up on a drug test and my pharmacist warned me to let someone know I had a prescription for that if I took a drug test and save the bottle for proof because it would test positive. I would think it would be best to inform your probation officer and you might need to explain what it is taken for, and don’t bring them a bottle that’s unusually empty, for example I often will split prescription refills into old bottles and keep some in my purse and one bottle at home for my blood pressure pills because if I forget to take them at home they are on me or if I stay the night somewhere unexpectedly I have them, and when I am at home they are in the open so I see it and I might remember “hey I forgot to take this” this is not recommended as it will cause suspicion you are abusing the drug.

NO, but you have a script for both so…

It depends on the test, but probably not. If you have the bottles for both drugs with your name on them, it doesn’t matter.
