I just recently had to take a urinalyisis for work and was informed that my sample tested positive for methamphetamine. The MRO asked me about taking anything and i explained various things i had been taking for allergies including the use of a Vicks inhaler which he informed me had methamphetamine in it. He informed me he would retest using a test called GC-MS. According to the MRO this test indicates I am using a street drug of some type but this is not true. Does anyone know of any way I can find out more information about my test or why it would show results that do not have anything to do with me? I cannot understand this and do not know how to get this corrected. ---
