That depends. AFAIK, if its prescribed to you and you give it to someone else, that's illegal whether or not its scheduled. Otherwise, if it isn't scheduled, there's no real legal issue there.

Drug testing in the US is insane.

Yes. If it's OTC and you possess it but have no script (for you) then that's "illegal drugs." I'd like to see a study/figure for illegal drug use using that proper definition.

P.s. Script and illegal use of prescription opioids are the gateway to street opiods (e.g., heroin).
