False Positive For Medication Benzodiazepines (Top voted first)

Updated

Does anyone have a list of the medications that can cause false positives? I take quite a few meds and my probation officer said I tested positive. This is impossible. I only take what is prescribed to me, and none of them is on the list of Benzodiazepines.

I have been testing positive for benzos' for 4 weeks now. I have not had any benzos in 60 days. Both ua and blood test show a positive. The blood level was 300 out of a possible 1500. ( whatever that means.) I take just suboxone, lithium, and 800mg ibuprofen. Thank you to whom ever responds. This is driving me nuts.

To be more specific, valerian root and Benadryl can cause a false positive for benzodiazepines.

I have been on pain medications for 25 years. I have always had a clean UA with only my prescribed medications in my system. This last time I tested positive for benzoides (or what ever that is). The only thing I have recently starting taking is Chlorphen Tabs for itchy water eyes and hives. Can Clorphen show up as a false positive?

I have been testing positive for Benzo's too and I use to take them before but haven't since June 4, 2014 and I kept coming up positive for Diazaepam (valium) but thats the problem I use to tale klonopins and libriums so this is bull because I know what I put in my body and the nurse for my soboxin doctor is trying to tell me their lab don't make mistakes well whatever I don't trust these labs its sad people can loose everything because of positive results and the ones giving the test treat you like your guilty and will not even look into how this can happen, I wish their lives were on the line maybe they would help us if it happened to them. My last 2 urines have now been negative I don't get it I haven't taken anything different for it to now have been negative and I have not changed anything . My primary care Doctor gave me a couple of places that will do test to see why this has happened so at least she believes me.

I have been in a methadone treatment center for 6 yrs.... I haven't had any problems with my drug screens until the last 3 and it's been showing positive for benzo's which I have not taken!!! I have been on a lot of meds so I'm wondering if any of them could cause a false positive.... I have been on Zantac,Prilosec,Dramamine,flagyl,clarithromycin,phenegran,benedryl. Can any of these meds cause a false positive on a drug screen for benzo's?? If I can't find a reason for the the positive the clinic I'm going to will make me drive everyday to dose for 30 days and that's almost 150 miles round trip!!!!! Please someone give me some advise!!!!

I have been taking random drug screenings and never came up positive for benzo. I recently started taking prozac 20mg once a day and trileptal 150mg twice a day starting last month. I took a urine screen last week and tested positive for benzo and it hasn't ever showed up prior to taking these pills. Will either one make me have a false-positive result?

I had the same issue. However, I requested they have it tested in hospital and it was confirmed that I did not in fact test positive. There are many levels of testers they can use. Insist they test using a higher quality equipment. I almost lost my ability to get medications because of false positives. Frustrating I know!

I am on a suboxone program. Prior to the program I WAS taking benzos. They told me how dangerous it was to use both suboxone and benzos together, so I stopped taking my benzos. I've been in the program for six months, and all I take is suboxone and Zoloft and every UA pops positive for benzos. I went and had a lab test at my PC doctor, and he told me my urine was clean, and that it was probably my Zoloft that keeps giving a false positive for benzos. He said there is no way to be sure but since my urine came back clean from the lab, it was his only conclusion. My suboxone clinic used uses the instant read cups. DO NOT LET THEM TELL YOU THAT THOSE RESULTS ARE CONCLUSIVE!!!! It doesn't matter how much those cups cost they are STILL PRELIMINARY. If there is a question about any false positives the sample needs to be sent to the lab.

Pain doctor stated Valerian Root will most definitely cause a positive for benzos.

Ibuprophen is not known to cause false positives for benzodiazepine's.At least in my experience.The only other reason would be a collection and or handling anomaly but that's rare and
Difficult to prove .

Valarean root yes but never in 12 years that I have handled these claims has one for Benadryl (diphenhydramine ) been substantiated As per GCMS readings.
