I am on Zelepar(Selegiline) and Mirapex. I am going to be looking for a job soon and I am not sure that I want to disclose the fact that I am on PD meds. However, if they do a drug test and these meds show up in my urine or blood test, then I need to disclose ahead of time. What is your advice on this?

the selegine may show up on a drug test. The reason is because one of the by products of selegine after it breaks down in the system is amphetamine. As long as you have a legitimate prescription for it, you then have a reason for the drug test results.
If the employer has any questions, you can refer them to your dr, your pharmacist, or the information sheet that comes with the medication.

Good luck,

Mark
