I've Never Ever Ever Failed A Drug Test Before, But Monday I Did. But I Don't Do Drugs?

Updated

Monday I took a drug test for an employer, when the lab called me they said I had tested positive for marijuana. that's odd, im a full time college student who doesn't drink or smoke. when I tried to explain my situation to the doctor he just hung up on me. what could have caused
me to fail with only <1% in my system? *Note I take: topirmate every night, butalbital occasionally when needed, and that morning I took 4 ibuprofen, drank an energy drink and ate a granola bar. PS it was an oral swab. (all of these medications are perscibed by my doctor except the ibuprofen that's recommended by her)

Hi I'm two months pregnant and just had my lab work done.. when I went back to the doctor for my results she said she also say marijuana in my system but she was already informed at my first visit that I take fioricet so she didn't question me any further about smoking which I don't, so I guess she has knowledge about fioricet showing traces of marijuana in your system.. I hope this help you with your answer :)

We have a list of drugs where I work that will show a false positive for Marijuana. Ibuprofen is one of them. Crazy, I know. But if they send it off they will probably find it is wrong.
