Suggest Suitable Medication For A Problem In Metabolism
I just took a pre-employment drug test and prescribed Klonopin 0.5mg PRN. After reading around, it seems these drug tests will detect 200ng/mL. If I took 0.5mg of Klonopin once per day for 3 out of 5 days leading up to my drug test, will that be detected in the 200ng/mL? What does 200ng/mL equal? I m 5 7 , 130lbs, fast metabolism. I know this should be a non-issue since it s prescribed, but I didn t think to mention it for the drug test and will not be excited to have to explain it if they even give me the chance.

Hello,
Which drug did you get positive? Klonopin is a benzodiazepine used for anxiety or insomnia etc.
Better to don't use it if you have any metabolic problem please consult your endocrinologist he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
