What Am I Going to Be Tested on with a 12-Panel Drug Test?

So, you need a 12-panel drug test—maybe for work, maybe for personal reasons, or maybe just because you’re curious (hey, no judgment). But now you're wondering, what exactly are they looking for in my sample?

Let’s break it down in a way that actually makes sense.

The Usual Suspects

A 12-panel urinalysis is like the all-inclusive package of drug testing. It screens for a mix of prescription medications, recreational substances, and hard-hitters known for causing impairment. Here’s what’s on the checklist:

1. Amphetamines (AMP) – Think Adderall and other stimulants that give you that go-go-go energy.
2. Barbiturates (BAR) – Old-school sedatives, not as common now but still floating around.
3. Benzodiazepines (BZO) – Xanax, Valium… the "chill pills" that can be dangerously addictive.
4. Cocaine (COC) – That fast-track party drug, infamous for all the wrong reasons.
5. Methadone Metabolite (EDDP) – Used in addiction treatment, but still tested for potential misuse.
6. Fentanyl (FYL) – The opioid making headlines, dangerously potent even in small amounts.
7. Ecstasy (MDMA) – A club favorite, but definitely not workplace-friendly.
8. Methamphetamines (MET) – More intense than amphetamines, aka crystal meth.
9. Opiates (OPI) – Includes morphine, heroin, and codeine. Pain relief, but with risks.
10. Oxycodone (OXY) – Prescription painkillers like OxyContin and Percocet.
11. Phencyclidine (PCP) – A dissociative drug (also called angel dust).
12. Cannabinoids (THC) – Good ol’ marijuana. Yes, even in the age of legalization, workplaces can still test for it.
