My question is if a person took 13 Klonipins, I am not sure of the milligrams either 1 or 2mg, wouldn`t that show up in the toxicology report as Benzodiazepines? Thank You
This will show up only if Klonopin was added to the traditional screen or if a comprehensive Benzo screen was ordered. Many common screens don't test for Klonipin, Ativan or Xanax. As an aside, most opiate screens don't pick up drugs like Oxycontin but will pick up heroin and morphine. Again, a comprehensive opiate panel must be ordered to pick up many commonly abused opiates.
