So I spent from 11:00-3:00 diluting for my drug screen today and the employer gave me the address of a Quest site that does not do testing. The next closest one was too far away for me to get to in time. She was very understanding.

So at least I had a trial dilution run. I did everything I was supposed to and I have also been taking creatine for 4 days now. My only concern is the fact that my pee became literally fluorescent yellow with the vitamin B. I am wondering if that fluorescent (not natural) color sends up any red flags?

Please let me know your thoughts.

Also, my stats (and yes, I am crazy paranoid about this): I am 5'3", 130lbs, medium metabolism, smoked 1x/week (good stuff) for the past year. I have been clean now for 31 days. I've passed FOUR at home tests (the last one I took was this morning and the line was pretty faint, but there). Am I nuts to even be diluting? I don't want to overdo it when I don't have to. I already had to call the employer and tell her I wasn't able to take the test until tomorrow because the testing site was closed. I am afraid that showing dilution would be suspicious.

Thank you for your time!

I don't think the color will red flag it. If I take my vitamins, it is ALWAYS that color (even though I haven't smoked in about 60 days it's still that color with MY normal fluid intake along with the vitamins -- also, on my test at work, the color was neon yellow and it wasn't flagged).
I think you'll be okay. Maybe drink some powerade beforehand and make sure you have a few voids before the actual test (good going with the Creatine loading), but certainly don't drink very much -- doesn't sound like you'll need it. I would think (after all of the reading I've done here), if you're passing with the first void and you take a test after drinking some -- not to the point of dilution but just some liquid -- you'll do okay. Cant guarantee it, but that seems to be the normal and you're already passing your at-home tests with the first void (even though it's a faint line).

I agree with Angie70. Don't crazy dilute, just stay well hydrated tomorrow. Have about 8-12 ounces of fluid per hour, which isn't too much but will certainly maintain a nice urine flow rate. You can cut back a bit on the vitamins, maybe by 1/2, but don't sweat the color. Many non-smoking people take vitamins too remember.
You'll be fine

well, I Just got back from taking my test!! Urine was fluorescent yellow but she didn't seem to be phased by it.

It was at Quest... she put it in a bag... of course I am paranoid that I overdiluted. I basically followed the dilution instructions... I did more than keep myself hydrated.. I think I drank about 80oz of water and gatorade total over 4-5 hours... I HOPE HOPE HOPE i do not come out diluted??????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????

(I have been taking creatine for 4 days.)

Good job. Hopefully your dilution will pass muster. The creatine for four days will defintely help your chances. And remember, the more muscle mass you have, and if you're a man rather than a woman, the more likely you are to have your urine judged to be valid and not diluted.
For explanation, see Dilution and Variable Urinary Creatinine

FULL BLOWN panic mode now... I am totally crazy paranoid - to the point that my husband is ready to divorce me because I'm so preoccupied...

How much is too much water/gatorade?? i am so paranoid about coming out diluted.



Please respond.. i am even more panicked now than I was before!!!!

nerphroll

Nothing you can do about it now. Think positive thoughts. Best of luck.

Does anyone know how much would be too much water/gatorade? I know I get on people's nerves here but i am HYPER WORRIED ABOUT THIS SITUATION... Even if to just calm my nerves.

Does it make any difference that I drank mostly gatorade instead of mostly water?

Please..... respond......

If you've passed 4 home drug tests i think you'll be fine your just being paranoid and giving yourself anxiety just relax.
