Drug Screen Positive For Restoril

Updated

I had a drug screen test, it showed up as having restoril in it. I didn't know what it was or ever taken it, my scripts include, lortab, Xanax, ambien, Zanaflex, promethazine gel, atenolol, nexium, b-12, multi vitamin, Lamictal, liquid Zoloft in four ounces orange juice, I also have to drink an atkins protein drink where I had gastric bypass two months ago. Can any of this taken together cause restoril to show up in a urine drug screen? My Dr is not wanting to give me my meds. I have major reoccurring depression, and anxiety, fibromyalgia, and a nerve messed up in my back. I need help!!!

I have had 2 urine drug tests come back positive for Restoril at my doctor's office. I've never taken that medicine before in my life. I do, however, take Percocet, Morphine, Zanaflex, Xanax, Adderall, Wellbutrin, Synthroid, Promethazine, Imitrex, & Movantik. I have been taking all of these for many years, except for the Movantik, which has been approx 6-8 months. My Dr says that the only other drug that can show up as Restoril is Valium, which I also don't take. I'm so confused & worried!!! How long before he stops my meds AND/OR how is something else showing up in my drug test that I'm NOT taking?!?!?!? Any info or suggestions on where I could look for answers would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE!!!
I went back to the doctor's office Nov. 30 expecting another round of "how the hell is Ristoril is in my system", along with another drug screen. However, to my pleasant surprise, he informed me that my screen from the month before had come back showing only the drugs that I'm prescribed.
I'm still troubled that I had 2 consecutive tests show positive to begin with, since nothing had changed leading up to the 1st positive & nothing had changed throughout the 2nd positive as well as nothing changing leading up to the 3rd monthly test which was right back to normal; as it had been for almost 3 yrs of urine drug screening with this same doctor (some tests occurring monthly, others every 2nd or 3rd month).
Meaning.......January-July were perfect, August & September were both positive, and October went back to normal, no testing done in November. I suppose my anxiety will just have to be even more ridiculous this holiday season as I wonder what the test (if any) at the end of December will show... :(
I'm praying that it was just a bad batch of screens or something like that but patients shouldn't have to suffer the consequences when things like this occur! Honestly, how is a person supposed to prove that they didn't do something over the course of the month when the test or someone who handled it (or the results) are causing the issue well before or sometime in the weeks after the patient's sample comes in contact with the test for all of 5-10 mins.???

I take 40mgs of Benicar, 10mgs of Norvasc, 100mgs of Zoloft, 1mg of Klonopin twice a day, 25mgs of Lamictal and 160mgs of Fenofibrate, but my urine test said I had Restoril in my urine and I've never taken it in my life, so why would it show up?
