7. Yes...
Edited on Tue Feb-02-10 03:36 PM by OneTenthofOnePercent
A family member of mine was on drugs for pain (he got hit by a moving vehicle and was disabled temporarily).
He was concerned about taking them as regularly as prescribed and becoming addicted - so he only took them sparingly and only when he was in alot of pain. As a consequence, his refill would be made before he was out - this was to make sure he had future refills he would get the refills before the scripts expired.

Basically, long story short... the doctor piss-tested him and didn't find enough of the drug in his system. Thought he might be scalping them (he certianly isn't). Instead of reducing his perscription to the amount actually taken it was cut off completely. Now, today, he is still in pain but cannot get a prescription for it.

Evidently, if you are prescribed drugs you'd better damn well be eating them. I'd imagine if they can take drugs away for not testing high enough for it... they can take drugs away for testing positive for other narcotics.
