Sorry to burst your bubble. I am on felony probation and have to drop twice a week. I take omeprazole twice a day every day for 10 years. I recently failed for methamphetamine and long behold my test came back negative and it was due to the omeprazole. So it is true it can show up as meth.

Phentermine, I was on that along with a vitamin b12 shot weekly. I took a three hour class with the prescribing Dr before I was even allowed to fill the RX, its the strongest diet pill on the market. I list ten pounds the first week. Then relapsed back to meth. It was definitely the phentermine

I'm sincerely devastated and concerned as I just tested positive for methamphetamines today at my state probation office but am absolutely sure that I have not used anything in anyway shape or form of any illegal drugs in over 3months!!!! I currently am prescribed medication adderall 30mg 2x daily, lemectal 25mg 2x daily, xanex 1mg 3xdaily, levrroythroxin once daily, and now I'm also receiving the cure for hep c. Harvoni and am scared and absolutely terrified that somehow I have obviously missed the fact that somehow maybe one or more of these meds created a false positive so is this possible when they test for both amphetimine and methamphetimines both of which were positive??? Please tell me how this could have happened with me being 100% sure that I've not used any methamphetemine????

I failed a drug screen today for my doctor for methamphetamine!!! Never touched it. Could not comprehend how I got methamphetamine in my system so automatically I assumed I was drugged by a co-worker, until I did some research. Started taking ranit for acid reflux twice a day for the last 3 weeks. Bingo think I found the culprit!!! Looks like I'm back to chewing on chalky antacids.

My Dr drug tested me because I take neurontin. He said they treated them like they were a narcotic. I failed the test for methamphetamine and I never used methamphetamine. He took the meds from me. Can he do that?

I am on trazodone, prilosec, lamictal, geodon, topamax, gabapentin, zaniflex and 800mg ibuprofen. Could any of these drugs show up on a urine screen as a false positive for either methamphetamine or amphetamine? I'm worried that I'm on the wrong meds since i tested positive for both.

Yes , some of your over the counter Cold &Cough medicine would react in a false-postive. Sudafed Is the most Common. Also some Adhd & Blood Pressure medicine can as well. Along with a Controlled 3 Category Medicine that is used to treat severe Obesity.
I hope this helps and puts you at some ease.

This is a question I'd like to know as well. My doctor had said I've come up positive for methamphetamine 3 times now... He prescribes me tramadol. U would think he'd know right? So if u find out let me know plz.

I've read a few answers to your question on here, and I saw one which caught my attention. (S)He who said that benzedrex will only test positive for amphetamines in an at-home drug test (5-panel dip and wait drug test) is wrong. Benzedrex may also give a false positive for methamphetamine salts. I say this from personal experience.
I'm on the verge of getting into a considerable amount of trouble over this.
It sucks.

I have heard of this situation several times where, for whatever reason, a Dr confiscates prescription meds from a patient. The answer is, Generally, NO. If you obtained a script legally, that is your private property, and no one has a right to it but you.
BUT, Nowadays, most pain management Dr's make you sign a contract agreeing to certain terms and conditions that the patient must adhere to. Basically, take meds as prescribed, don't get same meds from 2 different doctors, although that one is really hard to do nowadays because the DEA, and in Tx, the Texas Dept of Public Safety have a clearinghouse type of list that notifies doctors when they identify patients that are Dr shopping, etc.
So if in that contract it stipulates that the patient must surrender meds in certain instances, you have to do it or I'm sure the penalty is that the Dr will drop you from his practice if you refuse.
