thank-you for your reply. I am just being paranoid, since I read that it's possible to have the results skewed by anti-depressants. I'm also worried that just the fact that I'm on an anti-depressants will disqualify me for health insurance or raise the premiums. All I can do is be honest and not worry. I think the insurance companies only turn away those with cancer and HIV or serious heart problems.
I'll try not to worry. Thanks!
> I wouldn't worry about the results if you are not taking drugs other than those prescribed for you. I don't know if Effexor can show up as something else, but you should notify the screener so they can mark your file in the event that something does show up. I think the tests are fairly accurate in looking for recreational drugs only.
