when you go for a screening they will ask you if you have had any over the counter products in the past 30 days or some places it might be the past 15 days. so don't take anything in the month before you are planning to screen. if, however, you have to take soing, say you have a killer headache and just can't take it anymore, if it's during business hours, call and ask what it's ok to take - they tend to prefer acetominophen over the other kinds. then at screening or check in you face a choice: tell them what you took, bringing an example to show them, and hope they make an exception, which they often will, or don't tell them and hope it doesn't show up in the labs. telling them risks you not getting in, not telling them risks you not getting in, so i never take anything. one time i took half an aspirin when i had a killer headache and still got in.
one time at (gateway) i told them i'd had half a bite of a poppyseed muffin before i realized it was poppy seeds. first they tried to get me to postpone my screening, i was like no way, i just drove 250 miles. so i did get to screen. but because i told them, if my labs had turned up for opiods they wouldn't have banned me for x months, because they knew it was just poppy seeds. i ended up getting in no problem.
so it can go either way and i'm not telling you what to do.i have no idea if x can create a false positive for y. except poppyseeds can create a false positive for opioids, so i stay away from those everything bagels.
i've never been to worldwide so i dont know how they do things. but it seems to me that disclosing what you took would make it less likely to get into this study, but more likely to not screw things up for the longer term, so you need to decide if you are focused on the long term or the short term. to those who have been to worldwide, for me that's 1000 mile trip, would you guys say it's worth it to travel that far, or not?
as i'll be turning 56 later this year, i need to expand which clinics i go to in to make up for the studies i'll lose because the cutoff is 55. in my last study i met a lady who is 60 and still making a living from studies, so i feel a bit of encouragement that i can keep going.
