Although I haven't located any details confirming the possibility of a false positive for Benzos from either of those medications, I do have reason to believe that it's still a strong possibility due to the faulty standard drug tests they use today. A lot of these standardized drug tests have a fairly high false-positive response, where it seems as though anything is likely to show up, no matter what you took. To my knowledge, false positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

One has to know that it's not the drug that causes the false-positive, but rather, it's their unreliable drug testing equipment that tells them one drug is actually something else. They have the choice to use better drug testing equipment, such as a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer; which has the ability to distinguish the exact substance in question. They just don't use it as often due to costs, so they would rather take the high risk of displaying a misreading than take a few extra dollars out of their pockets.

I would see about getting that type of drug test done on the original sample if at all possible. One site I typically go to when checking for false positives is linked below; however they don't seem to have information on some of the drugs you mentioned:

I hope this advice helps lend a hand to your case!

i have been on trazadone for many years and can tell you not once have i tested positive for benzos. i am guessing that you are well aware of how long benzos stay in your system and that they have a half life...ie..if you take 10mg of valium one day, the next day you will have five mg in your system, day three you have 2.5mg.etc....i am sorry i can't be much help except to say that trazadone has never given me a flse
