I took 800mg of lyrica on a sunday. Then I had a drug test that Monday morning and it came back that I failed for suboxone! For pete's sake can anyone tell me why this happened?? Does anyone know if lyrica and suboxone have any charteristics?? I'm in so much trouble. Well not really I guess but, I really don't understand why this happened!!!!! ## I had the same thing happen lyrica showed up as opiates in a drug screen im on subutex but my drs test discriminates between subs and other opiates idk how the heck it happend i also took some baclofen so idk ## I take Lyrica also and tested positive for Buprenorphine or suboxone.

I take a drug test for my pain doctor. I do NOT use any other meds other than what's subscribed by my pain Dr. The last test test showed up with neurontin in my urine. Please explain how that happened. Again I don't even take any over counter or anything not subscribed to me. ## How can neurotin show up in urine test since I haven't taken in 5 years. I take lyrica MS Cotin Soma Xanex and Clondine a chloestral med and infection for this cold or whatever it is. I am worried cos I will get dismissed andni haven't taken anything other then subscribed to me. Help!!! ## Nuerotin, gabapentin and lyrica ARE ALL THE exact same medication!!! The first 2 ARE the genetic for of lyrica ## This is an irresponsible incorrect answer. Look up " compare contrast neurontin lyrica" ...

my girlfriend is in a treatment facility and is prescribed methadone and gabapentin. If she takes lyrica will the gabapentin prevent it from showing on a drug test because they are from the same base or will the lyrica show up independent of the gabapentin? ## Does lyrics show up as gabapentin on an random drug test ## Will gabapentin show the same as lyrica in a Drug testing. ## i need the answer to this too i take neurontin and cymbalta and my drug screen showed i took lyrica i havent took lyrica in 7 years i took myself off of this it made me feel like i was drunk unstable and not very alert and gained weight while i was taking it ## I'd like to know, too.

Hi. Today I have taken 200mg of tramadol along with 900mg of lyrica. I'm due to take a drug test in two weeks time (saliva not urine). Can you please tell me how long these drugs will stay in my system? Also, what is the difference between the two and which one is more sensitive in drug testing? Thank you.

I took a drug screen for rehab that went to the lab and I never took any. What would make lyrica show up in my urine? ## Same thing happened to me and it sucks. Now I get to start all over with nothing. I went to my suboxone appointment today and tested positive for Lyrica but haven't taken anything but suboxone. What would cause this? ## This is an anticonvulsant, so it is not something that is included on standard drug tests, so these results are very odd. Was there a specific reason you were both tested for it? These tests usually only look for controlled substances, going by FDA standards. What medications do you take? Maybe something is causing a false positive. Can you both post back and clarify, so I can research this issue for you? ## i just had this same thimg happen to me ...

I am prescribed fiorcet and lyrica for severe migraines, and klonopin 1 mg (twice a day, but usually am too tired to take my second dose). I am changing jobs and will be subject to a urinalysis in 4 days. I have a prescription but would prefer to not disclose this info to new employer, so I will stop my med for a few days. How long does it take for these to clear my system for a basic 10 or 11 panel screening? I stopped the lyrica 5 days ago as my insurance will no longer cover it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I do not take lyrica. I received a letter from my doctor saying that I must be getting lyrica from someone else, violating our agreement. I do take neurontin. But I do not take lyrica. Help!! What would cause a false positive for a drug I do not take? I need to know by the 28th of june for my next dr.'s appointment. I also take methocarbamol 750mg, benicar, lorazepam, lipitor, nexium, hctz, effexor, b-12, biotin, advil pm, low dose aspirin, hydrocodone-acetaminophen 10-325 and zyrtec. I have one kidney and no spleen. Can you help me?

I am on Suboxone and Neurontin (Gabapentin) and I have a urine drug test in the morning. I've taken a total of six 50mg Lyrica tablets. Will it show up the same as Neurontin? ## Does lyrica show up the same as gabapentin on a drug test? ## Since both Gabapentin and Pregabalin are anticonvulsants, they are not usually included on most drug screens. Such tests generally only check for opiates, benzodiazepines, stimulants and substances that may be illegal, such as marijuana, according to FDA reports. While these medications can help with some types of nerve pain, and mood disorders, they do not fall under any of these categories. ## You are correct in the tests, they test for illegal drugs or proscription drugs of abuse if suspected.... like benzodiazepines. However..... Neurontin met...

I have been off marijuana for 2 months i took an at home drug test and it came out positvie ive currently been taking lyrica and wanted to know if lyrica could of caused a false positive on the drug test ## Lyrica should not cause a false positive even on a urine dip test. ## Can lyrics show up a false positive for opiates like heroin? ## Can lyrica show up a false positive for opiates like heroin? And or any other illegal narcartic? ## Yes it can! I'm taking Lyrica and it showed a false positive for Suboxone which I have never taken. I contacted Pfizer and they stated there are reports of Lyrica causing false positives. My doctor refused to believe this and voided my contract. I'm still fighting though. I need to be vindicated! ## Not true! Pfizer says Lyrica can cause false po...

My sister is under pain management and ran out of her dilaudid the day before her refill and so I gave her 2 of my percocet 10/325. She was given a drug screen to be sent to the lab and freaked out, worried the percocet would show up so she put powder from one of her lyrica pills in the urine! What do you think the lab report will show? ## She should be prepared to be dismissed. That is the most desperately ridiculous act I've ever heard of. Persons unable to follow medication directions should not be prescribed them. Even an irresponsible frightened child wouldn't have resorted to theft level. I suggest she seek professional assistance to have a mental and or chemical dependency evaluation conducted. Just being real.

I am prescribed 150 mg Lyrica and periodically get urine screens that are sent to labs to allow my script to keep being prescribed. Problem is I've been out of my lyrica and don't get it refilled for 15 more days. To prevent withdrawals I've been taking gabapentin 600s daily. My question is if I should get called in for a urine-lab screen will the gabapentin show up the same as my lyrica would have, bc their part of the GABA sisters?? I'm not sure if they're specifically testing for the drug or if they're just testing to be sure there's no other drugs in my system. I wanna be sure I'm safe in either scenario. Thanks in advance!

I had a tooth pulled a few days ago and I turned down the pain meds, because I am a recovering addict and I am in an out patient rehab facility and I have to go in about every 2 days to do testing. When I woke up this morning the whole side of my face was swollen and I was/am in horrible pain. I have tried everything from ice packs, Tylenol, IBU, etc. Well my mom gave me one of her lyrica's for the pain and I have been staring at it for about 45 minutes deciding whether or not to take it because I have to check in with the rehab everyday to see if they call my color to come in for a drug test. And I really don't want to fail because if I do I lose everything all the way down to my kids. ## I was clean from every drug & had a drug test at the Pain clinic I'm going to ...

I went to my suboxone doctor today and it showed up as opiates. He asked me if I had relapsed and I said 'no, what are you talking about?' He said it showed positive for opiates, so now I have to go back in the morning. He said he would send it to the lab to test it specifically for lyrica, because he said just tell me the truth and I told him I had taken lyrica today and neurontin and lyrica yesterday as well, so it does show up as opiates for sure!!! ## No it doesnt I go to a methadone clinic and every test I take tests for opiates. Lyrica doesnt show up it takes a special test just like gabepentin. U relapsed stop lying! ## I am prescribed Lyrica and Suboxone and I have to say No Lyrica don't show up on a UA but yes Neoroutin Does show up ## I agree with the guys post abo...

im getting some kind of a blood test at work and what im sure about that they only take 1 drop of blood and i heard its a DNA test , so i have 2 questions 1. if it was a DNA test will Lyrica show ? 2. is 1 drop of blood enough to test for Lyrica? plz i need an answer , and thank u in advance . ## Why would your employer be doing a DNA check? That doesn't really make a lot of sense, since that checks your heredity, and etc. Do you know any other details about it? And no, Lyrica is an anticonvulsant that is also used to treat some types of nerve pain, and mood disorders, so it would not be detected on such a sample. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, headache, mood changes, dizziness, and weight changes. ## why would they ask for it im not sure , and ...

I want everyone that is concerned about drug testing for lyrica to know that it will come back positive for oxy, trust me. It just happened to me. ## I will give a Urine drug screen in two days and i took lyrica 75mg today , will it give a false positive for heroin or opiates? ## No it will not show up in a drug test at all. I just got out of court and took lyrica for a week straight no signs of it so all this talk about testing for stuff those ppl relaspse it's not the lyrica

I'm testing positive for Lyrica and I've never taken anything except methadone. Why would I test positive for Lyrica?? I tested positive for thc but that's for good reason. But that's all I do. Why would I be testing positive for lyrica? That's what they called it. ## Same thing happened to my husband today. He takes a host of medications for psychiatric problems and for diabetes and high blood pressure. But he does not take Lyrica or gabapentin. I can't find any answers on the web. It's driving as both nuts. It's not a narcotic so I don't even think they would give a crap but apparently it's becoming a new it dried to abuse so I don't know. ## I just had the same issue. I just popped for it and haven’t heard of it until now.

I was told that I had failed or had a incomplete on a urine test for a job. I'm not sure what COC test is, the only drugs I take are prescribed. Here is the list: Trilipix, vytorin, lovaza, lisinopril, baby aspirin, enbrel injection, metformin, victoza injection, synthroid, klor-con, lyrica, tramadol, lithium carbonate ER, trazodone, seroquel xr,hydroxyzine Pam, cipro, and phenazopyridine hydrochloride. Help could any of these cause me to fail? ## It would really be helpful if we knew what they meant by that, as in what you failed for, or what they mean by an incomplete. Did they provide you with any other details? There are many medications that can cause false positives, such as the Trazodone you are taking, it has been known to cause false positives for LSD and amphetamines. Did ...
