If they drug test, they will know you take Xanax
because you will test postive for it. If they don't test you do not have to tell about taking it. Either way you never have to say why or what condition. A note from a doc that says "James is under my care and takes Xanax" is all you need, never mention the condition.Some sticky points:
For me, I wait for the test to come back postive to produce my doc's note. Many labs don't even want to see this note or hear about your Rxs till after the test, so why show your whole hand ?Under ADA, you do not have to mention disability
if you don't want accomidation. If I request it later, and this issue comes up, I would say based on the limited job descriptions and interview I had no reason to feel an accomidation would be needed. Most only need to take their meds; one does not need the ADA to have this right.Jmaes
