Is Xanax mandated testing by the Federal Government in hair follicle testing?

Answer 1

Alprazolam (Xanax) is Schedule IV in the U.S. This means it is illegal to sell without a license and illegal to possess without a valid license or prescription. Also...many hair tests now check for more than the NIDA5/ SAMHSA-5, and include at least Cannabis, Ecstasy/MDMA, Cocaine, Opiates, Methamphetamine, Amphetamine, Phencyclidine (PCP), Benzodiazepines, & Barbiturates

And : The National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) requires that companies test for five specific categories of drugs. Most drug testing companies will provide a test that checks for all five categories. These five categories include:

· Cocaine -- Includes Cocaine, Crack and Benzoylecognine

· Cannabinoids -- Includes Marijuana and Hash

· Amphetamines -- Includes Speed, Methamphetamines and amphetamines

· Opiates -- Includes Heroin, Opium, Codeine and Morphine

· Phencyclidine -- PCP

Depending on what profession you are in or what business or governmental department you are required to take a drug test for, there may be expansion tests required. These test for additional drugs such as:

· Barbiturates -- Including Phenobarbital, Scorbarbitol and Butalbital

· Hydrocodone -- Including Vicodin and Lortab

· Mehqualone -- Known most commonly as Quaaludes or Ludes

· Benzodiazepines -- Includes Valium, Xanax, Librium, Serax and Rohypnol

· Methadone

· Propoxyphene -- Includes Darvon compounds
