Diphenhydramine does NOT contain any methamphetamine, or amphetamines. Please be accurate when you post nonsense. I happen to be a Forensic Toxicologist.

buddy idk what post or who you was replying too all I know is i got a email with your post saying something bout diphenhydramine well if you was replying to me you have obviously misread my post because I don't recall ever saying diphenhydramine contained meth or any other amphetamine I might of ask a question does diphenhydramine give a "FALSE POSITIVE" for meth but that's not saying it contains meth doctor john

The diphenhydramine may give a false positive on some "instant" tests, but when we further analyze the specimen using mass spectophtometry or LC/MS/MS/MS, there is no way to have diphenydramine be a false poisitve test, it would be negative..

Sooo why did you reply Dr? I've been part if this conversation for a while and no where have I seen anyone talk about this drug but you??? And if your Forensic Tox... what can cause False Positive for Meth? I've never seen Meth don't know one person who uses it.. I live on island 3 miles long with only 3000 people and no one here uses meth. Other drugs are problems like cocaine n crack but no one has brought Meth here... I eat Medical Marijuana and I was getting at the time 30mg MS Elson, Baclofen, gabbipenton, and my gramp give me off hydro morphine. well just after Xmas break the Dr said I tested positive for meth and I almost lost my meds... I'm single mother with no help at all and I suffer from severe fibromyalgia, disk degenerative disease, scoliosis and uneven hips... since Xmas I've been spending 4-5 days per week in bed. I have been on narcotic pain killers for soon to be 20 year this August. Im only 32 this Nov... I've tried everything under the sun to get relief without pain meds but it is the only thing that allows me to have regular life with my kids! I have hot/cold rubs creams bath 3-4 times in 12 hrs. My body cramps soo bad that I end up with golf ball like knots under skin and only way to get to stop is massage but the minute I touch it feels like someone stabbing me... then I get massive bruise and have this dull numbing ache for week while the pain moves starts somewhere else! it's very vicious cycle. I suffer more and worse then cousin with colon cancer. Mentally I'm exhausted and see specialist constantly. Do you have any suggestions for me?

I had an extensive blood test done by sheriffs office after a traffic stop, they tell me it I about a $500 test, it came back with my Perscription med lyrica and amphetamine salts, tramadol, these are all Perscriptions but it also said I was positive for a trace amount of meth which is valid in my state for DUI drugs. Any professional in here that could let me know I'd this type of extensive test can be challenged? I don't use meth and don't know where this came from?

hey Lilly did you say you take amphetamine salts? well any amphetamine can trigger a positive for meth like the dietary supplement adepex now I'm no big expert but when you mentioned you took amphetamines that kina stuck out like a sore thumb and what all are you being accused taking? is it just meth alone nothing else? if it is than you can have a blood analysis test specifically for meth the test is cheaper an will cost you around 115$/130$ but if they are testing for more than 1 illegal drug than yes that blood analysis will cost around 500$ but if I was you an knew I was 100% innocent I'd request a hair analysis it runs 75$/100% some states might cost a lil more and it testes for the 5 major illegal street drugs including meth an all amphetamines now the amphetamines you was prescribed will show up under amphetamines but you can clear yourself with proof of a prescription an the test will be able to distinguish meth from your prescription meds and that test goes back 90days vs the blood test only going back a few days so I think they would be more than satisfied with a hair test rather than blood test an it will save you $

How is the test being performed? Immunoassay is not a definitive test, nor is the card tests. The only definitive test for any drug is GC/MS, LC/MS/MS and it is an expensive but well worth it test. It is the gold standard!!

I had a hair analysis and I'm pretty sure it had all the things you listed I'd have to actually look at the test again to tell you exactly what it said but it had all that confirmation stuff at the end an I didn't think it was too expensive I paid like 75$ for the panel 5 drug test they had one for 100$ but I didn't need that one all I know is the test I did was 100% accurate everything came back exactly like it was supposed too

Methadone is not an opiate. It will not show up as a positive on an opiate screen. It has to be tested by itself.

I took hair follicle test came up maxed out levels for meth and super high levels for amphetamines
I do not do either the levels were so high I should be walking dead man. My lawyer told me I was a drug addict and that I was in denial. The judge took my child from and she has never spent one day away from for her whole 8 years.she is very confused and crying every single night because she doesn't know or understand what is going on because I don't do drugs and he's never seen anything like that or anyone or anybody doing drugs ever in her life so she's very confused. its very very sad .my prescriptions are Sulfazine 3000mg a day for bowel disease. this prescription is a mirror image of Meth. Bupropion 300 mg a day mirror image of amphetamine and Prozac 80mg a day false positive for amphetamine. all prescriptions have been taking for at least 4 years and it is all saturated through my hair. it is very embarrassing for that I take excellent care of my child and there is no drugs in my background ordeal timer anything like that and for the parents that know me they always compliment me on what a good mom I am. Thank God for internet for each of these prescription medications there's hundreds of articles about them causing false positive but the problem I have is proving that these meds are the cause.I know everyone thinks that they can test specifically for what medication but that's not true. so I don't know what to do in court is there a special person that I can hire a scientist or something that knows something about this I just don't know how to prove it in court they can't test specifically for this medication I have taking a pee test for the past 10 days and it comes up positive for methamphetamine I went to my doctors and they told me I was doing drugs. I'm not stupid I'm 45 years old even if I was doing drugs I would stop it only stays in system for 36 days before have to take a pee test okay I cannot get it to come clean because of my medicine I take daily. even medical doctors will look at me and tell me to go to rehab it is so ridiculous I don't know what to do and I'm leaving my daughter over something that I've never done.I'm trying to get help I don't care how much money it cause I just want to find an expert I don't know who to hire or what to do.

@ please help I'm sorry too hear of your situation sounds like you have been dealt a devastating blow for your hair test to come back with that high of levels of meth there is a possibilities that you are clean an the test says you're dirty an that is pretty much "human error" unfortunately somebody might of mishandled your test results at the lab an got you mixed up with somebody else it's a rare thing to have happen but it does happen my blood test an hair test came back 100% accurate the urine test said I was dirty an the hair cleared me immediately I'm not even on probation anymore all I can go by is my own experience the hair test an blood test I know for a FACT was accurate an when I sent my hair off that thought was at the back of my mind "boy I sure hope they don't get me mixed up with somebody else I'll be doomed for sure an there will be no explaining it" but luckily for me everything ran smooth an make sure they ran a confirmation test on your hair that's how they distinguish one drug from another or else the hair might come up false positive like the urine I'm no doctor or big expert but what I would try to do if I was you is see if any of your friends knows a toxicologist an if they do see if they can put you in touch with him/her an maybe he or she can break it down to you about why your test said what it said an see if there's another route you can take to prove your innocence if not you probably might have to get off ur meds an take another hair test best of luck too ya hope things turn out fine

I agree totally! The lab must have messed up the specimen. If you are indeed not on meth, then it should have confirmed negative. Phentermine shares one ion with Amphetamine, but this should easily have been ruled out by LC/'MS/MS/MS.

To ALL: Methamphetamine and/or Amphetamine in any test MUST BE CONFIRMED by either GC/MS or LC/MS/MS, it cannot just be and EIA or ELISA test! Please make them prove your guilt or innocence. I do this daily for Las Vegas.
