Title: do I have to tell them about medication?
Post by: bethmd on Apr 13, 2012, 12:55 PM
will i be asked to disclose whether I am taking medication? Take stimulant for narcolepsy and beta blocker for excessive adrenaline- will they affect my test?

Yes, you'll be asked whether you are currently taking any medications. Very little research has been done on the effects of any drugs on polygraph results. One can expect that after noting the medications you're taking, the polygraph operator will proceed the same way he/she would were you not taking any such medications.

Well that's interesting, since one of the meds speeds up my heart, and one slows down my uneven spikes of adrenaline, so I can't imagine how they will show up on a polygraph! thanks for responding.
