Updated

I 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.

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÷

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

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.

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 .

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!!

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!

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.
