I`m not convinced on that claim of doctors having incentives to get you off the meds. I`d suggest you look into Rockefeller Medicine and see what has been going on since the 1920`s. What business reaping the benefits of Billions of dollars would cut their own throat by going against that which supplies the entire industry funding? Curious about where you may have seen that claim made. Have you got a link to that source?

I'm on 45mg nightly for bipolar/ sleep. Personally I'm not bipolar, but how you gonna argue with a shrink, and not prove his point!? Anyways he started me on 150mg. Bad nightmares.. mostly about hell. Lowered me to 45mg. Still nightmares. When I told him, he says most ppl do. AND THAT WAS THAT. SO I quit taking. Now I'm due a blood test, and quite possibly another argument ABT a drug I do not like taking.

I have had a drug panel (i.e. urine test) which I failed and came up positive for cocaine which I don't take, but I'm currently on mirtazapine 15mg tablets for depression. In result to my urine test I was finished off my job which I'm quite annoyed about as I don't take drugs.

I’ve been in drug recovery for about 5 years. MAT technically. I’ve gotten drug tested once a month at least for all those years. I just started the Mirtazapine a few months ago but haven’t had any false positives thus far. I’m about to stop taking it though, I had it written because I’m having some GI issues and it helps your appetite but for one my Drs wrote it with a bunch of medication I have to take that your not supposed too mix w the Remeron or you could get Seretonin Syndrome. Also noticed it made me more aggressive… definitely helped me sleep but almost too much. I’m on my 3rd day without… I’ve heard it can cause withdrawal… we shall see

I get that same crap, I already would get “sleep paralysis” before the Mirtazapine but it definitely makes it work, like you said thank hod my chick can tell when I’m having it now and can shake me out, creepy stuff

It can show up positive for both thc and benzos due to a cross reaction with the tests. I found this out after testing positive for thc after 6 years of never having that problem. Because I am on probation, I just about lost it cause I knew I had not been doing anything that would cause a positive and my psychiatrist told me that it had been known to show up as one of those 2 classes I mentioned earlier. Talk to your doctor and make sure to let him know everything you took including OTC and supplements. A lab confirmed that I was telling the truth and that is how I learned that, yes, mirtazipine can cause cross reactions. Be aware that many doctors are not knowledgeable on false positives so be patient. Definitely make sure your doctor is quite well versed on their psychiatric drugs.

You need to insist on having it lab tested. Remeron showed up on mine as a false positive for THC and I demanded further testing. It came back completely negative. I think a lot more interactions occur than they make public to keep the money in the corrections system as well as Big Pharma's pockets. Luckily I found this out before my probation officer did.

Actually Remeron can cause false positives because of a cross reaction with the tests. I had a false positive for THC and am on probation and was understandably upset because I knew for a fact that I wasn't using. My psychiatrist confirmed that it has been known to cause false positives for marijuana and benzos. Luckily she discovered this and sent it to the lab which proved I was indeed negative. Unfortunately the Internet doesn't have all the information that is out there are many doctor's, especially outside of the psychiatric field, who knows it. I'm sure if it can give false positives for those drug classes then it can probably give other kinds of false positives as well. I do agree with you that there are many other prescription and OTC medicines as well as dietary supplements that can also cause this but unfortunately yes Remeron can cause it as well. Also people should know that even though this may have never happened before it can do it at any time. I took it for 6 years and never had a false negative until this past May.
