Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below I take valium sometimes to help me relax when on a cycle & training hard.We have regular random piss tests at my job.I was told by a co -worker that one of the guys piss tests came up positive for Barbitiuates from taking a valium the night before.Im not sure if this is really true or not but since of course I do not have a script for them I am a little worried.Im wondering if anyone knows if this is true & if so what are the detection times?
Valium & piss tests ?

Valium is a benzodiazepine with a failry long half life. Being a former drug tester you would think I would know this off hand but I can't remember right now....could be the 1 mg. xanax(another benzo) I took about 45 minuites ago. I'll look into it more in the morning (when my head is a little more clear

Also bud, the standard NIDA test does not include barbituates, it would be an addition which is not cost effective for most companies to include. However Valium does not fall into that class of drugs anyway...

Benzo's can be tested for very easily and cheaply with a piss test... In fact, I have a testing stick right here (I work for the probation department in my local county) that says it is used for, amongst other drugs, Benzodiazapenes... if your co-worker claims that he tested positive after a piss test, then I would believe him and lay off the Valium.
If your company is testing for barbituates then they may be testing for benzo's as well, in which case you should give yourself a minimum of 3-7 days for the valium to clear your system. If they are not testing for benzo's then you have nothing to worry about. 
You should have a list of what is not allowed in the new employee packet that you were initally given...if you still have it...

this has been discussed. they do check for benzos.
half life of 10mg diazepam(valium) is ~ 36 hrs, kolonpin is even longer.....so it takes awhile to pee under the cutoff in the nanogram range.
shorter benzos like xanax, halcion have 3-6hr halflives thus leaving quicker. drink plenty of water to where your peeing frequently. get that metabolism up as well.
maybe some can answer my ? do those Ready Clean drinks mask the benzos in your system? i know theyre great for THC...just wondering if its worked for chemical metabolites...any ideas?

I have been on probation for a while and also did not quit smoking bud and doing other recreational drugs for some time. I have been totally clean for a long time, but I was eluding those tests for awhile. Those ready-clean drinks do not magically clean your urine. What they do is dilute your urine. If you were to drink a bunch of water, it would accomplish the same thing. The only difference is that those drinks have a bunch of vitamin B in them to get some color back into your piss. Also, they have a bunch of creatine in them. This is because if your piss is lab tested, the labratory tests for creatine to ensure that you have a normal amount of creatine in your urine. This is to check if you may have doctored the test. When you dilute your urine, not only do the THC and other levels of drugs in your urine get diluted (hopefully) enough to get under the cutoff point, but also the creatine and other normal things in your urine also get diluted along with it. Valium is a benzodiazepam. Its generic name is diazepam. Klonopin is clonazepam. Xanax is alprozalam. The old roofies(rohypnol) are flunitrazapam. All of these drugs are in the benzo family and will show up if tested for. Some of the half-lives vary, but it is really individual from person to person. If your job uses the standard dipstick tests, you can probably fool them, but if the urine gets sent to a lab, I would cut out the drugs indefinitely.

I tested positive for benzodiazepines. They test for that. I believe the detection times are up to 7 days. But just do an internet search of "drug detection times". Also, research the use of Visine to dilute your urine to negate the presence of benzodiazepine. I believe the ratio of visine to urine was something like 1/4 or 1/5 -- i.e., 20 to 25% visine in your specimen cup. But I don't remember for sure. So, you will have to do your own search. Also, I would cut back a lot on my useage so not to get fired. Or, just go to a doctor, maybe in a bad neighborhood to a foreign doctor who might not have a lot of paying patients with insurance and get a Rx for Valium or any diazepam -- Xanax or Librium -- and keep the bottle to show them at work if you test positive. Say you took it one night to calm your stress-related anxiety. So long as they don't think you are using it recreationally. Also, again, start to cut back and lessen the risk of a positive. But have those back-ups: Rx and Visine in your pocket with the knowledge of how to use it. Also, make sure they cant test for Visine -- which they would then determine to be a false negative.

I would not recommend diluting your test with anything as the urinalysis tests have what is known as a CTRL test where they are looking for masking agents. If they think you put something in there it could cause more problems than its worth.

Then have that Rx to back you up. It's not hard. If you've got the balls to order shit through the mail, you cant be hesitant to go ask a real doctor for a Rx for strss-related anxiety. If you are real young, he may be reluctant. But if this is a new doctor for you, tell him you are new to the area and dont have a regular physician in the area. He may be more willing to work with you if he thinks you will become part of his patient base. Especially if you have a good insurance plan. It's not like you are asking him to prescribe anything really strong -- I believe Valium was, for a time, the most prescribed drug in the USA.

This would be the best way if he wants to take them occasionally, then you can always point to your pos. test as your prescription. I sit on an old prescrition of vicodin and codeine from my dentist, just in case...only thing is I need to get new dental work about once a year to make sure and keep the opiate scripts up to date. But my teeth always need work so its no problem (I just don't like opiates that much
)

detection times for valium(diazepam) is about 7-10 days. Nothing can mask the test, not even those detox drinks. When you test positive for benzos you don't test positive for barbs. Remeber detection times depend on the sensitivity of the test being used and times depend on the dose, altough it's minimal.
