False Positive For Hydrocodone

Updated

I tested positive for hydrocodone and do not take it. Will prednisone or flexeril cause false readings for hydrocodone? It was a swab test.

I'm prescribed Oxycodone, Oxycontin, Flexaril, Lorazepam, from my doctor. When the doctor did a U.A., it showed that I was Positive for Hydrocodone. How could I get a positive on my U.A., if I've never taken it? I'm very concerned as I have not ever taken Hydrocodone.

I was a patient at a pain clinic for two years. I was given 75 MG Fentanyl and oxycodone for breakthrough. Periodically took a hydrocodone which worked on sinus headache. I was finally told to stop taking it and I did. My UA still showed hydrocodone 6 weeks later despite I had not taken any. I was dismissed.I knew I was being watched with this. I need to know why this happened

I take oxycodone and oxymorphone. When I did a mouth swab it showed up as hydrocodone. I do not take hydrocodone. Can these medications cause a false positive?

I took mouth swab at doctors office and came back dirty for hydrocodone. How could this be if I'm only taking Percocet?

I'm 63 yrs old and I've been disabled for over 35 yrs due to an accident..I had to start taking strong meds about 8 yrs ago because the pain got so bad that I could no longer tolerate it. I'm taking 10 mg oxycodone 4×day & 40mg oxycontin 2×day ..Xanax 2×day for panic attacks.. an Gabapentin 2×day to control seizures..recently I had a routine drug screen and I tested positive for hydrocodone..

I've never taken hydrocodone ever.. What could have caused this to happen an what other kind of test can I take to prove the test was wrong? I'm willing to take any kind of test to prove I've never taken it..please..if anyone can help me figure this out or tell me what test I can take to prove I've been completely honest an never taken hydrocodone..please help me..I don't want to be put in a nursing home but that's what my dr is suggesting now..I'd like to continue living on my on my own for as long as I can.. but this false positive test can change that by putting me in a nursing home.. My dr says it's so my meds can be controlled an she'll know what's given to me. I'm scared for my safety because of all the things I hear about elder people being hurt and abused in nursing home.. PLEASE..can someone help me.

Oxycodone is generic hydrocodone so yes will test positive

Oxycodone is in no way a generic for hydrocodone. They are two completely different drugs. To everyone else you can ask that your sample be sent to the lab for a GC/MS testing. It will show exactly what is in your urine with almost zero chance of a false positive. Good luck to all!

I just had a 10-panel hair follicle test done and I came back positive for codeine and vicodin. I had ten teeth pulled and was prescribed Tylenol #3 (acetaminophen with codeine). Besides that I did not take anything else. What would be the reason vicodin would show up?

I am prescribed and only take oxycodone. I took a UA and it came back no oxycodone in my system but only hydrocodone. I dont know how this could happen. I was perscribed prednisone prior to test. But that doesnt make sense on if it could affect my test. I understand the chemical make up is totally different. To me there is no reason to of tested positive for hydrocodone unless I took it. But I did not.. Can anyone give me their opinion on why this could happen.. Why it did happen. Thank you

My UDS was sent for GC/MS and it still came back pos for hydrocodone; a medication I do NOT take. I am prescribed methadone, oxycodone, Maxalt, zofran and topamax. OTC meds are Excedrin and Goody Headache Powders. I shouldn't have any hydrocodone in my system. Thoughts

I suffer from a severe case of Rheumatoid Arthritis, for which I see a doctor at a pain clinic for pain control. I currently take Oxycodone-Acetaminophen 10-325mg, a Fentanyl Patch, and Nucynta for my pain control, as well as an RA specialist. My pain over the years has gotten completely out of control and gotten worse for 20 years of my life! I can hardly get out of bed, walk very far, or do much of anything.Plus, I have deformities all throughout my body, in addition to suffering depression and anxiety from it all. I was given an oral drug screening test, since my hands are too messed up to hold the cup to give a regular UA. Yesterday, I was completely blindsided with the fact that the doctor (I should say PA, cuz that's really her job title). She had brought to my attention accusingly that the lab found hydrocodone (her words exactly were a " Narco", that was found in my system, which I don't have a clue as to what that means), and that at some point I must have taken it. I was sobbing and trying to tell my PA I hadn't taken anything at all, besides what she prescribed me, also the fact that I don't even know anyone who takes meds for anything, or even have any friends that do. It was so humiliating.
The whole thing got me upset and she also made me do and extra UA, this time using the cup, they put a catch tray in the toilet this time (because of my deformed hands). The PA made another appointment for me, this time with the actual doctor who runs the place, who has only seen me twice in seven years of going there, he's even made notes and comments about taking me OFF of meds without even seeing, no telephone conversations, nothing. This office is a joke! They've also taken me off of meds that my previous doctors have prescribed all because "they hate them!" So, in the meantime I'm not sure what to do. But looking at other people's testimonies about how the labs skew results of other patients, wouldn't it be logical to say this same situation is happening to me?? I do have an appointment with him in mid November, if someone can please help me, I would be so ever grateful!
