Does Ativan Show Up On A Drug Test

I go to the methadone clinic and I am prescribed ativan 1mg 2 times a day and my counselor said that ativan does not show up on the drug test. She has been marking my drug test as a dirty urine and I have to have a meeting with a treatment team Thursday to determine if they are going to kick me out. Please help me I am not ready to quit the program for something that I have a script for will someone explain to me if ativan is a benzodiazepine would it show on my drug screen. If so I need to be able to plead my case. ## yes Ativan WILL show up on a drug screen ## NO, ATIVAN DOES NOT SHOW UP ON URINE LAB. IN 2008, I WAS ON IT FOR A YEAR AND URINED 2X A MONTH, NEVER CAME UP AS BENZO.!!!!!! NOW ON XANAX AND YES DEFINITELY SHOWS AS BENZO.

May 20-26 I was in the hospital taking Ambien, ativan and cymbalta. Once I left the hospital I took my ambien sparingly. The ativan even less and no cymbalta at all. However on June 16 I took 1/2 10MG of Ambien. I had a saliva drug test that next morning and it came back as THC, Amphedimines and opiates. How did this happen?? ## Ambien contains the active ingredient Zolpidem and neither it nor the Cymbalta, which contains Duloxetine, are substances tested for on those types of tests and they are also not known to cause false positives for anything else. The Ativan contains Lorazepam, which is a Benzodiazepine and it is also not known to cause false positives. Where you taking anything else? Even over the counter products or something else they gave you in the hospital? ## The only other...

I have to take a drug test tomorrow and i am prescribed klonopin 1mg and mirapex 1mg; also trazodone 100mg. will these show up in my urine drug test? ## Yes, Klonopin will show up on a GC/MS test. I took a drug test for my doctor and damn was it lengthy, covered everything from caffine to cannabis. The benzo section was separated by metabolites of chlonazapam (spelling sucks), to Ativan to Xanax.......... very detailed.

i am on Ativan for occasional anxiety and i just called the lab: the nurse said it may show up but the doc will call me about it at the other end--whee they had the results-- and request the RX # and my doctor info. if I am legit on it then that info will NOT be passed on to my new employer (not their bizz) and the results will be reported as negative--whew!!

I went to my doctor today to get my scripts refilled and he gave me a drug test to check my levels? I am prescribed .25 mg of Xanax 3 xs daily and 150 mgs of Effexor daily and methadone. Since I ran out of Xanax and took lorazepam instead will the lorazepam show up as the same thing as Xanax? ## It depends on the type of test he uses. There are some basic tests that just check for the presence of Benzodiazepines and if that's the one he uses, then since they are both in the same drug family, that's all that it would show. However, they are both different drugs, Xanax contains Alprazolam and Lorazepam is the generic for Ativan, so a test that looks for the specific metabolites would show exactly what you took. Learn more Xanax details here. Learn more Lorazepam details here. When...

I took a 1 mg ativan on monday night, dissolved sub lingually. I have a pre employment drug screening on tuesday. Will it show up? If so, will one of those cleanse drinks clear it out? ## Ativan contains the active ingredient Lorazepam, which is a Benzodiazepine and they can be detectable in a standard urine tests for as long as 6 weeks, after last dosing. The time frame, however, will vary from person to person, depending on your overall health, activity levels, fluid intake, metabolism and etc. Are there any other questions or comments? ## It will not show up. I tested negative after only 17 hours. I had taken .30mg. You will be okay! Don't worry! ## I took one 1mg of lorazepam on Friday around 10pm and I will have a 5panel drug test on Tuesday morning at 11am will it be positive ...

can a 9 panel urine test tell the difference between ativan and xanax ## can a 9n panel urine drug test tell the difference between one benzo and another, for example I have a script for ativan but have recently taken xanax, will the test be able to tell? ## if they send it off to lab yes I can from experience I can tell you this ## I had a drug test A panel 10 plus oxy I have scripts for the oxy and klonopin I am also a drug hoarder so whatever I'm prescribed something I always have left overs and keep. I took xanax .75 mg the day before and ativan a week or so before. Will xanax and ativan show up or just positive for benzos?? ## Once it comes back positive for benzo's, they will then do further testing to see which one/s were being used

On a 12 panel urine test will it show clonazepam and xanax as the same thing? ## does clonazepam and zanax show up as the same thing in a drug screen ? ## Yes, as they are both benzodiazepines. ## I promise you they don't! I get tested weekly, and a xanax stays in the system longer too. I get Clonazepam prescribed, and had to stay at my friend's house and had forgot them. I failed for Xanax, and it stayed in my system for like 26 days. ## I have never heard of a cover 2 as a 2mg. Clonapam but will check in a moment.I am on level 6 at my method one clinic. And only have to go once a week, but each benzodiazapam is going to show up of what it actually is .Example clonazapam will be a klonipan , ativant will be lorazapam, valulium will be straight diazapam etc...... ## Well I do th...

I take 2 mg Ativan twice a day, every day..had urine test at dr office..Ativan didn't show up. What could interfere w it showing? Now my dr thinks I ran out early. I'm baffled! Any answers? Thank you! ## I have the same problem. I take 0.5mg twice a day and my test always come up negative. I don't understand. Hope someone can come up with an answer, because I don't want to lose my prescription. ## Lorazepam (Ativan) frequently does not show up in urine because it is excreted as a metabolite (lorazepam glucuronide) which does not react with the antibodies in the drug test. Less than 1% of lorazepam is excreted as the parent drug. Hence, it frequently gives false negatives on drug screens. ## I take ativan and klonipn does not show in urine why?

My boyfriend is a heroine addict and say he's been clean but I gave him a home drug test today and it tested positive for opiates. He swears he hasn't used and is suggesting that the Ativan he takes gave a false positive result for opiates. Could that be true or is he lying? ## Xanax and Ativan are both benzodiazapines not opiates like heroin ## No adivan won't show up as a opiote no chance sorry to be the berrar of bad news but no way that would show up as a opiote that just don't make sence

i have a hair test coming up for probation and i have a prescription for ativan. i have also taken xanax from a prescription i had from like three years. Do benzodiazepines only show up as one drug class or would they be able to see that i took xanax and ativan, Also is the test quantitative meaning will it show exactly how much i took? Also i take soma, tramadol, and flexeril all 3 of which are not in a specific drug class but would they be able to see I have been taking that too? Just Curious any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ## You are mistaken about Soma and the Class of Drug it is. Same class as the others!

I was rushed to the hospital this past monday and they gave me ativan. I got a drug test for probation tomorrow. Will it show? ## It was 2mg they gave me ## I took 8mg of ativan Friday , I have a drug test today ( it's the following Monday ) will I pass ? ## Yes, it will show for 6 weeks. Take the paperwork from the hospital with you to your probation appointment showing the medication they gave you. You will not be violated. ## Walt, Lorazepam won't be in your system for six weeks. If 2mg is all you have taken it will be out of your system within a week. Blessing the drug is one of the fastest Benzos to be filtered out. I do agree with you on Walt taking the relevant paperwork. Good luck. ## I took 8 mg ativan on Tue. I was urine tested the following wed.8 days later.think it w...

I took 10 mg of Ativan on Saturday night and have a urine drug test today, Tuesday at 5:30. Will it be out by then? ## There is a chance that it will still be detected. Ativan contains the active ingredient Lorazepam, which is a Benzodiazepine and these can be detected for as long as 6 weeks, after taking them. However, if you have a prescription for them, there is no need to be concerned, you just have to inform them of such, when you go in for the test. Are there any other questions? ## I took ativan on September the 24th at the er and I believe it was .2mg but I'm not sure it was really small and white. My question is I took a drug test 10/11 and I'm wondering if it'll show up. Can someone please get back to me?? ## I know from past drug screen's that any benzo stay...

I have to take a drug test next week, ( in seven days), and took 2 mg of Ativan. I was wondering if it will show in a urine test. I am 165 lbs and have a reasonably high metabolism. ## After 7 days, no it should not show in a urine test, thought it will be detectable much longer in blood, tissue or hair tests. If yo have a valid prescription, all you have to do though is tell them that when you go in for the test. Ativan contains the active ingredient Lorazepam, it is a Benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and nervous disorders. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, irritability and headache. You can read more here: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I have not taken any perscription drugs of any kind for 4 months.I am 158lbs.and have a fairly high metabolism....
