    When I wen in home time I sold my car. I clean it out and put the contents in my truck, well I forgot about a 3 moth old prescription I had for strep throat. I never took more than 3 pills when it was prescribed, I didint know it was in the opiate class of drugs it just had a weird long name. Now when I was given this I was not working so I didn't have to worry. my first load afther my home time I had to put the truck in the termnal shop and the mech seen the bottle and reported it I'm now on lock down at the yard until the terminal Manger gets here, any body have any idea what I can expect to happen should I be packing up my stuff. I have only been here 2 months

    If it happened to me, I'd prepare my mind for the worst. Nothing more until management has had a chance to hear my side and make a decision. Some folks can see a mistake for just that. Others have to make it out to be the crime of the century. Good luck to you.

    You will be going to get drug test. Better yet, ask you want to volunteer, if you have nothing to hide, you should good. Check with Human Resources if they have one or the Labor Board if they cut you loose.
    Where is your prescription for it ? Check with your Doctor that issued it if you can't find it.

    I had strep 8 times in one year. My daughter gets strep constantly and my youngest son just started taking antibiotics for strep. I have never heard of opiates prescribed for strep. Try again.

    Percocet is an opiate and can be described for well, not just a sore throat but, you have to have a very very sore throat for that...!!!

    My daughter had strep 7 times in the last 4 years. She was given oxy for it during the last bout she suffered. Just because your doctor doesn't, doesn't mean it never occurs.

    I have the prescription, I don't have to come here lying, the bottle says my name even if I didn't still have the paper work, it was an honest mistake I'm not a big pill taker that's why there still here hell I still have half of the antibiotics too.

    It was not percocet. I said it had a long weird name it wasn't oxytocin either but it must have had some of one of those in it.
