One of our employees has admitted to taking Klonopin.  Our drug test includes a panel for benzodiazepines.  It is a rapid stick test.  The employee claims he takes his medicine every day however the benzodiazepine card is coming up negative.  Does Klonopin not show up on a test for benzodiazepines?  As I have read, a lot of the benzo tests only test for oxazepam which is a metabolite of the more popular benzodiazepines.  Is this why the Klonopin isn't showing up?
