Failed A Drug Test Due To Prescription

Card image cap

Location: Slc Utah here- So I take adderall and am in the process of being hired at a new job. I’ve been through this before. In the past when I failed I’d get a call from the lab and I’d just send them copies of my prescription bottle and if needed have my dr verify everything. No big deal. I’m a pharmacy tech and just got hired at this clinic. The HR lady called me and said because I failed my drug test she’d have to present her findings to the committee and I had to send in copies of my prescriptions which I happily sent but thought was odd. She then texted me and asked me verbatim “remind me what your diagnosis is and why you are taking this medication?”. I didn’t respond because that is not her business. I verified I had a legally obtained prescription and told her before I could have my doctor reach out to verify everything. I feel so weird about that. She texted me after hours also asking that. I don’t know- should I have responded- I don’t feel comfortable sharing my diagnosis with HR like that and don’t know how to handle this professionally. This job is amazing but that made me nervous.
