Will Neurontin Give False Positive On Drug Testing (Page 2)
UpdatedI will be going back to work and will be testing for illegal drug use. I am on Neurontin due to a medical problem. Will I get a FALSE POSITIVE result on a test for illegal drugs?
For custody reasons I have 4-5 random UA's a month and recently tested positive for opiates. The facility that administers the tests contacted the lab (Redwood Toxicology) and was told that Gabapentin can cause a false positive. I have taken it on and off for about three years as a sleep aid originally prescribed at the re-hab I was in and it has only shown up as a false positive once and I am now on a much lower dose so I'm not sure why now.
Same here I take the same meds and I also tested positive for benzos
This just happened to me at my suboxone doctor! I tested positive for Marijuana and perc, oxy and I have not done any of them but I am on nuerotin. Now they are making me go every week because their test was wrong! Instants give false positives all the time if your on other medications that's why I hate them÷
I'm on probation and also at a suboxone doctor so he prescribed me neurontin and I've been taking it for the last months and yesterday my drug test came positive for benzo so he told me that neurontin can cause a false positive for benzos cause I know I haven't taken any
I also go to a clinic for methadone and I was tested and I came up dirty for benzo, THC, and barbiturates. Can someone help me please?
U just read that if you test pis for nuerontin on a stick test it could be the early onset stages of kidney disease or cardiovascular disease. I too go to the methadone clinic and after I jad my c section my drug screen came back pis for nuerontin and I don't take it at all so I'm like really confused as to why that would be in my urine. I don't know if any drugs they gave me in the hospital metabolize into it or what. Kinda lije how heroin turns into codeine then into morphine6. I'm just dumbfounded as to why gabapentin is in my system... but they changed the way they do drug testing. Its more detailed now and they test for levels of drugs because drugs stay in peoples systems for diff amts of time and this way they can see if the levels are going down. But ya I'm puzzled as to why gabapentin showed up
Many typos I apologise. It should start off with I not U and pis is supose to be pos (positive)
I'm on methadone and at the moment im being detoxed due to a positive benzo test. Since im being dropped down on my dose i've been taking neurotin (gagbapentin) to help with withdrawal, will this cause me to test positive for benzos? I see the doc Thursday so i would love to know if i can possibly show dirty for benzos due from taking neurotin. Plz help me, plz.
Who told you that you would get a false positive. please i need to know.
I'm in methadone and have been clean for 14 months and today they told me my mouth swab came up dirtey for benzoo. And I take 800 mg of gabapentian 6 times a day. Will that show up as a false positive? And when they resend it will it show thstviy is wrong. If they do a break down of all the meds
my meds have been changed so many times,but the one constant med is neurotin yet my drug screens keep coming back with different things like weed which I don't do I don't know what is going on I was taken off my zanax because five test came back with something different and no Xanax how does that happen
To everyone reporting false positives on urine or swab drug screenings, if you've not taken the drug showing the false pos why would you not stand your ground demand a blood or hair stand test? Folks give false positives every day. It's very common .
I am on probation. I do not and have not had anything in my system for 2 years. I haven't failed a drug test in two years. I was told that neurotin did not come bk in a test. And I took one Friday and had a drug test today(Thursday) been 6 days. And I failed for benzos!! So do not take neurotin if u have a drug test!!
Can gabapintin mes up a oxycoden test and get positive for morphine
Pls look into the pots there self as being round use of these urine pots on a regular basis a lot give off false readings I have took nothing and used these pots myself as people complaining and I come back positive for benzodiazepines / codine then again on second come back positive for cannabis!!! 3rd time lucky negative it was the pots being used from a certain companies pls look into this
Rick & anyone else concerned with testing dirty on a urine or mouth swab drug test. If you know you've not taken the drug you're accused of, demand a blood test. Both those methods are notoriously prone to give false positive result. You don't have to accept that kind of bull and you don't want it in your medical record. I was shocked the day my Dr came in and asked if I was taking oxycodone in addition to the morphine he prescribed. He's the one who told me about the false positive which he believed happened in my case. It devastated me nonetheless! I went home and did research, finding out just how common it is!
No i gave some to my husband and he got drug tested the next day and came back positive for opiates and benzos and he refuses to take pain pills
I have had many drug screens for employment. I am a nurse. The first thing I do is get a pharmacy print out of my medications, I have them keep the list and document in thier notes. Once I came up for Opiates and once came up negative. I take 300mg a 2 a day for nerve pain . Once test was sent out for further testing the positive then ruled out.
I take 800mg gabapentin and it showed up in a drug test as barbiturate and amphetamine. So if you don't wish to fail do not take any drug you're not sure about.
