cycleman Says:
a random drug test yielded a positive test for methadone. If you are not taking methadone, how could that be?

Ramona, check out this peer reviewed article from The Journal of Analytical Toxicology. It seems Nucynta does cause false positives for methadone.

I just left from the dr and my urine test came back positive for methadone. The only medication im taking is tramadol. There is no possible way that methadone is in my system. The tramadol had to have test positive for methadone. They are going to send it off to a lab. Has this happened to anybody else before?

I feel for you. I have never taken methadone I was shocked that my urine came back positive for methadone. that Goes on my mental health record. the only way I could have gotten methadone in my system was that the nurse had to put it in my icewater. ill never ask for another cup of ice water. I do not know what the side effects are for methadone.

Same with me! I too take Nucynta and tested positive for methadone. I know from my dr that I have to have a different urine test than what the lab does. I had a DUI 2 yrs ago & have to go for testing. The probation office said I'm lying. Now they want my dr to write her & proof that I don't have meth in my system. I havent taken that crap since 2008 that was prescribed by my dr. There were only 4 pills used from that time. They didn't work for my chronic pain back then, why the hell would I take it now? But it is good to know that I'm not alone & either are you! Hope everything works out for you

Nucynta does cause a false positive because it happened to me. The only pain med I take is Nucynta & Soma. I had a drug test done & I tested positive. There is no way I had taken Methadona in over 8 years. I have chronic pain for the last 15 yrs & this has never happened before. The labs that are analyzing this results should pay attention to the details before releasing false reports!

From what I know about these urine tests & taking Nucynta, a special urine test is needed. My Dr gives me a different test but the labs aren't aware of what you are taking and they just gives the normal test. Insist on having them give you a different test that's available for people who take Nucynta.

I was just tested positive for methadone, I don't even know what it looks like, never had it and have never been around anyone who has it. The nurse told me it was just a small indication on the test, but they were sending it to the lab for further testing, I have been taking Benadryl my allergies are crazy, plus if I get stung by a bee or if any insect stings or bites me I break out. could the benadryl cause the methadone positive? this has pissed me off, now I am on probation

YES!! Nyqill can test pos. for methadone. Also aleve can cause pos result for thc!! I don't smoke marijuana. Not for 30 yrs! Came up pos for thc. My face must have showed my shock and confusion lol cuz the nurse doing test told me it can do a false pos. I think this happens A LOT!!! But trying to get the dr testing u to believe it and educate him and get him to trust and believe u is another matter. Hope this helps.
