False Positive Test For Tramadol

Updated

I tested positive for tramadol. I don't take tramadol. I take suboxone, trazodone, cymbalta, lyrica, Wellbutrin, prednisone, & singulaire. Can the combination of any of these cause a false positive for tramadol? I need help fast. I am not able to work until this is settled.

Did you ever find out about that? The same thing just happened to my friend!

As far as I'm aware Trazodone and Tramadol are pretty much in the same class.

I have been on 800 mg daily of Ibuprofen, Benadryl, Garcinia Cambogia and Amoxicillin. Could any of these cause a false positive for Tramadol? My child was taken from me four months ago because her father said I was on illegal drugs. I had seven drug screens come back clean but was ordered to do a saliva and nail test. The lab tech did not wear gloves and my results went missing. The results were supposed to be back in a week. After two weeks my attorney got involved. The results came back after being taken three weeks prior and tested positive for tramadol. I've never taken this drug! I was also made use acetone to remove polish and wasn't allowed to wash it off before nail clippings were taken. Why would I test positive for tramadol when they weren't even testing for it and I've never taken it? I'm in danger of losing my baby permanently. Please can I get some answers on this?!

I have been off tramadol for a year almost as it caused me headaches and i experienced twitching, jerking, etc. I've been with my pain dr about 10 years and as far as i knew there were never any issues with my drug screens. This past year i talked every month about doing something for winter. My dr put me on Opana In Nov. and was the worst two weeks of pain ive ever had. I took so much ibuprofen and tylenol, advil etc. I was put back on my regular med but told if i fail a drug screen that's it. Well i took my test had no worries and i tested pos. for tramadol??? What the hell??? Im so confused then he told me that there have been other discrepancies but when i asked to see this test i was refused to see it. I have been decreased on my meds and he is now tapering me off all meds because of this and the opana issue in Nov. Im so confused. My Morphine sulfate was 1 every 8 hrs, 2 norco 5 mg for rescue. Now im on 30 mg, 1 every 12 with only 1 norco 5mg for rescue. Honestly don't mind being decreased on the ER medication. What I do mind is that he left me with completely nothing in between each 12-hour period for rescue. And the fact that I haven't taken any of this medication in at least a year and out of the blue it shows up on my test, there's so many things that don't sound right, so many things that are conflicting. If there were other discrepancies in my testing don't you think it should have been brought up to me at that point in time? Why has nothing been brought up to me until now since this issue with the Opana medication? I was put back on my other medication and was doing much better. I was still taking the ibuprofen and the Tylenol however because I only have the two Norco for rescue. Now I only have the one. I am really confused, Beyond confused. How do I prove that this is a false positive and is completely inaccurate? Another thing he said to me was he made a comment about just taking pills whenever I feel like it. No I don't do that at all. I take one every 8 hours like I was supposed to and I take my Norco as rescue medication especially during the winters. I don't understand what's going on all of a sudden. I do understand his concern and regards to being on certain medications for extended periods of time overdose seeing stuff like that but I've been with him for 10 years and he should know me way better than that by now.

Hi, my counselor called me yesterday and said that my U.A. came back positive for tramadol. One week earlier my wife's counselor called and told her the same thing. The only drug that we take that is the same is promethazine from India. My question is, does promethazine show up as tramadol on a urine test or is the promethazine talcate maybe contaminated because it's made in India? We have never tested positive for it before and we have been taking these for a couple of years. So confused.
