One of the other MD's in the group, who I had the opportunity to talk with later, asked me if I had been on an SSRI (i.e. Prozac or other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). He said that it the most common cause of false positives. He also said I should've been retested in 2 months.

Zantac/ranitidine can cause a positive for meth?
I take that daily but this is the first time I have had a positive for meth!
I was wondering if garcinia cambogia or green coffee bean extract could cause it?
That is the only thing different between this test and the last one. Oh, and a diuretic -

The novacaine you got injected with probably had epinephrine in it. That would do it.

certo works for weed. A 32 oz Gatorade, i bag of certo pectin. Drink a drink out of the bottle then squeeze all the certo into the Gatorade. Shake vigorously for 45 seconds. Down it. Let that flow through for 10 minutes then grab a gallon of cold water and start chugging along with 6 b12 pills and a energy drink with at least 200% niacinamide. You have to start an hour and a half before you go in. Do not piss more than three times before you take the test or you will destroy the lining you have made shielding the way for clean urine. When you go to pee you want the first of your stream to go in to the toilet. About halfway through fill the cup. I smoked weed everyday including the day I took my test and I am on parole.

I am a drug technician. I will tell you plain and simple, the drug screens(cups, dipsticks etc.) may have a false positive for methamphetamine from certain OTC medications, however, once sent to a lab with GC/MS it can tell the difference. Your prescriptions like Adderall & Vyvanse will test positive for amphetamines, not methamphetamines. Your Vicks vapor inhalers, may test positive for methamphetamines on drug screens with a low cut off level if it is used in mass quantities. These are the reasons to tell the person conducting your screen of EVERY medication, prescribed or OTC.

Whenever you take a rug test anywhere for any reason take a printout of all meds prescribed and a letter from ur dr of any otc meds told to take so they cannot fail you due to following an order from your doctor. Also when you are taking any meds it is ways good to do a little research before deciding to take. I won't take meds that cause weight gain or sexual desire change. I was prescribed a pain med once that come to find out was a short dose of heroin and my husband was as well. I luckily didn't become an addict but not the same or him. It was hell when he finally started to quit and he was very abusive something he never has been. No one told us and we didn't ask.. just for all those out there concerned.

Because Sudafed Cold and Flu medication (especially Sudafed D, 12-hr), which you can without prescription, but you have to ask the Pharmacist for it at the desk, because they no longer keep it on the open shelves.... is used to MAKE Methamphetamine. You need to go to your Pharmacy and ask them for a print out of the medications you've had filled for the last 3-6 months, or longer if you like. Then take that paper from your pharmacy and show that you are taking that medication, which will automatically make you FAIL for Meth, even if you've never touched the stuff in your life. I hope this information helps.

My bf went to er tonite for being dehydrated from heat and working in cannery and dr came in after blood and urine test and said u look good but said the thing that is bad is..... And he pointed to methamphetamine! My bf about flipped out he has never done that ever because he has watched some friends overdose the only thing he has is his 215 card and generic Zantac and it showed up as meth! Omg the dr didn't even know what to say when he asked if his meds could create a false positive and he said maybe he didn't know. Our kid was sitting right next to us and he couldn't even believe that it could b his meds! I told him he is with me if he isn't at work and the one time he actually needs to come to the er they try and tell him he is on drugs. What can he do to keep his name clean because he has to go to court for a case against his baby mama and don't want to lose over something he has never done?

Is there any way to tell the difference between the prescription from desoxyne and street meth. My boyfriend was an addict and claims he would fail a drug screen because he recently took desoxyne, not street meth. How can I find out which was actually taken?
