Posted on Tue, 10 Nov 2015
Question: Will Pristiq be detected in a drug screen test? I do not use recreational drugs other than alcohol. I am concerned that the declaration of Pristiq being prescribed to me will affect my chance of being employed in certain occupations.

Brief Answer:
In all standard tests it wont show up

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome. Pristiq may cause false positive results for amphetamines in some more sophisticated urine tests but in standard preemployment tests it won't show up in urine since this is not part of check up. However,you can mention medical indication for pristiq at the testing. Wish you good health.regards
