Does The Energy Drink Nos Make You Test Positive For Methamphetamine

Updated

I went to the hospital for really bad pains and felt like I was having back labor, and they did some test and one was a drug test and said everything was fine but told me that I tested positive for methamphetamine. I do not do methamphetamine at all and they said that nos will not do that and they would not take another test of any sort to fix this, and they tell me that I can not get it taken off my record. I need to know what I can do because this is not right and I will not be labeled something that I am not.

I drank 3 Nos's last weekend and my random drug screen 4 days later came back positive for Amphetamine and Methamphetamine. I've never used either.

Yeah...don't lie...we know the difference...you cannot become positive for Methamphetamine unless you took something...there are two different types of Methamphetamine Positives...one is over the counter and the other is STREET USE...the test tells you the difference. But if he feels it is wrong then dispute it by contacting the lab that tested it and ask for a Dispute Packet.

If you're going to call all of us liars then please don't even bother posting. May you have a false positive drug screen and have your life go to hell because of it. Have a great day!

Just found out i Tested POS. for Amphetamines, and the only thing I had was my daily "Energy Drink", usually NOS or VENOM or MONSTER, they all have basically same stuff in it, but i also had my daily ZANTAC "Ranitidine" stomache med, and im POS for AMPHETAMINE and I DID NOT USE, I have no Reason to lie about it, especially on here. I did find out though Zantacs have caused many false positives, im on probation too and i have to give them my reports from my Clinic, I have challenged it, will be back in 3-5days, wish me luck, I AM INNOCENT! I BELIEVE YOU GUYS!

I do not use or do drugs and I tested positive for PCP. I had drank a Nos energy drink 30 minutes before my drug test. I'm about to be revoked on my probation. Can this be because of the Nos?

I am coming up on 4 years clean in April and I'm in school to be a EMT now I'm having to do a bunch of tests which is typical but I have a problem drinking too many energy drinks either Rockstar Punch or Red bull now I have health issues and I ask for a pee test every time I go to my doctor and for some reason I'm also testing positive for amphetamine which I know doesn't last almost four years in your system. My doctor says to quit drinking them and I researched the topic and sure enough other people are having same issue not to mention some websites said monster energy and ibuprofen have a ingredient that causes a false positive THC to show up on a test.

I live in a half way house and was drug tested last night and cocaine, benzos and t.h.c came up on the test. I was perplexed as. I have not done anything in 19 days. The only thing that I've had was a rock star energy drink. I told my house manager but she wasn't buying it. I said I wanted to take a second drug test which I was allowed and the second came up negative for all substances. She told me she was sorry for not believing me and then I found that energy drinks can make a false positive on a drug test. I had drank 4 that day and my urine was neon yellow which probably isn't good. I'm going to start drinking water from now on.

My son just got violated for using Methamphetamine. And i know he hasn't. He's been drinking energy drinks and his parole officer put him in lock up. This is bulls***. I'm 100% sure he hasn't done that stupid s***. So yes the energy drink can cause you to drop dirty.

I worked with human resource and a female tested positive. She stated she never did methamphetamine, so we advised her she would have to have a more in-depth test done to break it down. She did that and the doctor's office faxed the results and it was an ingredient in the energy drink.

I am a toxicologist. You cannot tell the difference. That is why you are discouraged from drinking energy drinks before urine drug screens. You can, however, ask for a hair follicle test, saliva swab, or blood sample.

I always drink nos energy drinks and I took a UA for my job two weeks ago and I was told I came back positive for Burprenorphine because I had nothing to hide that I truly took that test never in my life thought it would come back as a drug and lost my job because of it

So my boyfriend had a hair test and popped dirty for methamphetamine that he doesn't use, but has only been a chronic marijuana smoker but was negitive for THC. Will his energy drinks he drinks daily (like a lot of energy drinks) cause a positive?

All I know is that I've been an addict and alcoholic for 37 years of my life the only way you're going to come up dirty on a urine test they know the difference between a false positive results that's what the lab is for if you're dirty means you're dirty

As someone who has worked in the drug and alcohol rehab community, yes you can have a false positive if you are a heavy, daily consumer of energy drinks. Each person metabolizes things differently and although some may have a false positive, some may always test negative regardless of how many energy drinks they consume. When we have a client who has been in rehab long enough that substances should be out of the body, and a positive result comes back in a UA, it is then sent off for further testing to determine whether or not it is a false positive. Surprise, they usually come back false. While in rehab we try and make sure our clients do not consume energy drinks for this reason.

The Ranitidine also will test positive, also keep in mind, most labs use the Emit test when do urine monitoring, most do not use the MC/GS because it is an expensive test. YES there are many false positives, I have been doing extensive research on over the counter drugs and other products that can can a positive test. There are right now over 325 otc drugs, and I am sure there are more, in addition there are many other products, like Ma Huang Tea, it is made from the same plant that they make Ephedra out of, and all types of antihistamines, so do your research, be diligent, clear your name.
