False Positive For Methamphetamine On Drug Test (Page 3)

I took a urine drug test for my job and they said it came back positive for methamphetamine, but I dont use methamphetamine. I've just been real sick the whole week before and took a lot of diff. meds to break da fevers and my bad cough. What could have caused it to come up positive?

Darling you need to get your husband to a naturopathic doctor ASAP that can diagnose him correctly and fix the underlying cause of these disease symptoms before it becomes an immune system disorder. His body is screaming out for attention.

I am going to repeat this for about the 5th time. This will be my last posting on this subject. (I have a professional background in clinical medicine and laboratory research using GC,HPLC, and AA on immunology samples)

ALL cold preparations sold over-the-counter containing phenylephrine and ephedrine will typically show positive on the enzyme immunoassay they use for industrial job testing depending upon what they are combined with such as certain foods and beverages. ALL ADHD drugs such as Adderall or Ritalin will show the metabolites too. Generally if you tell the testing lab up front what you have taken they cannot do a damn thing unless they run the confirmations because you can argue false positive and they have to prove otherwise.

You have a right to a Gas Chromatograph or Atomic Absorption confirming test which is 100% reliable. If you fail either of those you are doomed because you have metabolites of meth in your system whether you use meth or not.

Look people, if you don't have enough balls to stand up for yourself and demand confirmation then you have only yourself to blame. You have the right to seek legal counsel and sue any testing lab that turns a false positive without running a confirmatory GC or AA in most states.

Stand up for your rights and everyone wins because employers abuse drug testing all the time. The enzyme assay testing is so flawed that it is legally not admissible in court without a confirmation - now why do you think that is? These tests are subject to stringent storage and handling requirements and most labs lack chain of custody records. If they are not stored in the right temperature and humidity they will give false results. They are cheap s***ty tests that the manufacturers refuse to withdraw and now they are even being sold in drugstores for home testing. Pity the family member who gets a false positive and goes to rehab because of some ignorant parent who is too stupid to do the research.

I am on probation. Today I had my monthly visit with my officer and had to do a ua for them. It came back very faint that I tested positive for meth. I am a mom of three and don't do drugs. I find that my kids are a lot more important then going to jail. I have been taking nyquil and rentadine along with advil migraine. Can this cause a false positive. I really don't want to go to jail for something I didn't do

Just a question... for you that tested positive for meth but had never taken it, how high was your result (in pg/mg.. or whatever unit on the test?). I am just curious.. does it show up in the same concentration as it would for a meth user? Thanks!

I've been trying to find out the average ng/ml of a habitual meth user, but have yet to have any luck.

I just started taking advair 500/50 again and I just tested positive for meth and I demanded they redo the test and the cup still showed the same thing. My doctor knows I don't do drugs and he said it is going to go to the lab and he asked about all my over the counter meds. He said the lab can decyfer the bad meth ingredients vs the good over the counter meds and not to worry. I have random screens because I am on strong pain meds

If you're testing positive for drugs you do not use, please get a second and, if necessary third, test by an independent lab.

I have had a total of 3 false positives for meth... The levels were approx 1500, 1100 & 825 ng/ml. I am also having trouble finding the average level for a habitual tweaker to compare to, tho.

I, too, just tested positive for amphetamines. I have never used them and take detonate by Gaspari. I heard some rumblings that this product could cause that result. I am going to stop taking it for now, just in case.
