is a person taking antispychotic medication allowed to take a polygraph test and get a resonable reading?

Who is doing the test, and why is it being done?\nI do not do polygraph tests, however, I have had clients take them.  Usual protocol is for the examiner to ask what medications the subject has taken.  If the examiner does not ask, volunteer the information.  The test itself takes readings of blood pressure, respiration, etc., which may be affected by the medication, and therefore throw off the results.\nThe real question is what the mental disorder is, and whether it would affect the ability of the subject to tell truth from fiction.  \nThe polygraph is designed to show when the subject is stating something the subject knows is untrue.  If the subject "knows" men from Mars are controlling his thoughts, he will show as truthful when asked if he knows whether there is life on Mars.

I seriously doubt it.  Even sodium pentathol, the "truth serum" you hear about in movies, isn't really a  truth drug.  It has the effect of putting someone in a highly suggestible, semi-conscious drugged state that can be useful in getting them to tell you what you want, but if it were truly a truth serum, it would make extracting information a whole lot easier than torture.\n\nOf course if your friend is Harry Potter, and he uses veritas serum, that's different.

They are not illegal drugs first of all.  Secondly, when you take the test they'll ask if you're taking any medications.  You can tell them up front that you are taking over the counter medications.  I doubt they'll even show up on the test.

why is it my B.S. sensors are going off right now?\n\nFederal law requires a signature when picking up presciptions....ESPECIALLY narcotics. They also require the person selling the medication to either personally know who it is they are giving it to or ID them if they don't. Most states require ID to be documented for all narcotic purchases, even when selling it to your mother.\n\nSo who's lying?

Absolutely not.  This medication is prescribed by a physician only.  Without consent, not only is it illegal, but it could have adverse side effects that the user would otherwise not know about.  Do not take this medication without consulting a physician or pharmacist.

no. the police can not force you to take a blood test.

only if it is prescribed by your DR

Yes, but since these are prescriptions and non-narcotic, it should not be a problem if you disclose and they were prescribed for you.

Yes and No.  It depend on what type of case you are testifying for.\nFor example, if it was a drug related case, and who you are testifying against, there is no limit.  As I said, depends on the case.

He or she can probably get into more trouble by withholding evidence.  The words that come to mind are: accessory after the fact.  I believe that could apply here.

The point here is that he had a prescription with him that was not in his name, which is a second-degree misdemeanor. His plea agreement says he "will refrain from any violation of any law." It doesn't matter what his motivation was, he violated the law. I'm interested to see how this plays out...

a lie detector test is not a test you can study for, nor is it a test you can change by breating differently, etc.\n\nHere's an idea...relax, take the test, and if they hold you back saying something appeared to be strange on there, then you can spill the beans.  Until that time, relax cause you don't know what they will be asking you.  If it was your best friend and you know it was your best friend and you don't report it then you will get time too because you will be considered an accessory.  It's not worth keeping this inside you because jail time will ruin you and later in life your friend will walk away from you.  Do what's right and tell someone immediately, maybe an attorney.

A polygraph (commonly referred to as a lie detector) is a device that measures and records several physiological variables such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and skin conductivity while the subject is asked a series of questions. The measurements are posited to be indicators of anxiety that accompanies the telling of lies. Thus, measured anxiety is equated with telling untruths. However, if the subject exhibits anxiety for other reasons, or can control his anxiety level voluntarily, a measured response can result in unreliable conclusions. A polygraph test is also known as a psychophysiological detection of deception (PDD) examination.\n\nclick here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygraph#History

As long as the medication is properly labeled with a professionally printed label identifying the medication and manufacturer's name or pharmaceutical label. The prescription medicine must match the name on the passenger's ticket.\n\nAll disability-related equipment, aids, and devices continue to be allowed through security checkpoints once cleared through screening.\n\nThe only minor exception would be liquid medications and the new "plastic bag" rule that applies.  This is all per the Transporation Security Administration's website.

Sure can.  I can tell you that LSD was placed on stamps for transfer into prisons.

If you have a valid prescription, yes.  Otherwise it is illegal to purchase prescription medications without a script.
