Cymbalta False Positives

I go to a doctor for suboxone. I took a drug test for my doctor and he said my test came up positive for Methadone and barbiturates. I take Cymbalta from a phsyc. doctor but no other medications. What could have caused these results? Also....I am on parole...I def do not need to have these FALSE RESULTS with them!!!

I've since returned to my doc he sent off my results for further review..... The results came back negative for both substances..... However I still had to pay another office visit fee of $200.
The doc said that the quick results are sometimes false but its not his fault and he is NOT SEEING patients for FREE!!!
currently there is no standard held for docs as to how precise or % a d test needs to be!!!

Just have your doctor write a note stating the medication you're on and the fact that it could turn up as a false positive. As long as the letters coming from a doctor you can't violate your parole on a false positive if you have doctor's verification to back it up. I'm on probation I had to go through the same thing. And thanks to letting my doctor write a note stating that the medication could cause a false positive the probation officer just went by his note and I wasn't prosecuted. Good luck to you my friend
