If they screen for opiates, then they would show up and it all will tell them is you have opiates in your system. If you have a legitimate reason for taking these and a doctor’s prescription, I cannot see any reason why they would not hire you, unless they don’t want someone who is taking pain medication working for them. Good luck.    Read more...

He had more than 100 pills prescribed by his doctor. He basically just stopped breathing in his sleep and his heart failed.
