Hair testing and prescription drugs

Just to clarify I weaned off. It wasn't easy. The first 3 weeks were hell and wasn't driving during that time. I was actually out for an injury so the timing worked out. I was mainly taking it for sleep but ended up being dependent on it. For some reason my stupid doctor let it happen. I don't have trouble sleeping anymore and if I do I take melatonin.

Hair testing and prescription drugs

Hi everyone, this is my first post. My searches on this topic are how I found this site. I took klonopin prescribed to me for about 5 years. I never even realized it could be a problem for drug tests. My doctor knew what I did for a living too. I began looking for a new job about 3 months ago. I came across one that required a hair test. I had not heard of this, even though I've been driving almost 9 years so I did a little research and discovered klonopin could be detected on some hair tests depending on what panel it is. I decided not to move forward with that job because I was too scared it would go on my DAC even though I was prescribed. I'm on the hunt for a job again. I've been off the klonopin for 2 months. I know a hair test detects back 90 days so I got another month to go until I can pass. My question is typically what panel are the hair tests? Are they just a 5 panel? Also should I just move forward and let the company know I used to be prescribed but now I'm off of them? I'm not sure I can wait another month where I'm working now. I don't know if I should post the company name but it's definitely on the list trucking truth made. Thanks
