False Positive For Meth Hair Test

68 Topics Found

The DHS is claiming I tested positive for Amphetamines and methamphetamine on a hair test performed on July 27 2014 through omega lab. Knowing that I have not used methamphetamine since June 2013, I had a second hair test performed on August 11 2014 through another testing lab which came back negative for amphetamine and methamphetamine. I am prescribed methylphenidate 20mg and dexomethylphenidate 4mg daily. Do you have an opinion on the discrepancies and possible causes of the discrepancies that could have affected these results? ## What company did you use where you received the negative results? ## Omega ## Negative results came from quest labs ## They are not reliable. Cal test in palm springs just reported two false positives for my grandson's hair. Got it retested and are clea...

I am prescribed 30mg adderall twice daily and just had to take court ordered hair test and urine test. On the urine test amphetamine was all that showed positive, but the hair test showed up positive for amphetamine and methamphetamine. How is that? ## Possibly because some ADD meds contain methylphenidate which may come up as a meth by product or you have taken a different med or done meth at some point as hair test picks up substances taken alot longer time previous than a urine or blood test? ## I have used meth before, but i have been clean for almost three years now. ## Im needing some scientific evidence or something to prove that it is a false positive. Something that will stand up in court because this is keeping me from being able to see my child. ## In order to get evidence of...

I'm on morphine sulfate, hydrocodone, tramadol, amoxicillin, advil, and have taken benadryl, but why would the test come back positive when I haven't touched those things? I'm an African American women who wears her hair natural. It doesnt grow fast.. I've been accused of these things which I know I haven't taken. Help im stressed out and miss my children.

I have custody of my two oldest children and their mother has a problem with methamphetamines. I know this for a fact because that's why we separated, but she is claiming that the positive hair follicles that she has taken and failed are all because of her asthma medicine. Are there any asthma medications that cause a false positive on both methamphetamines and amphetamines on a hair follicle test?? ## Yes, there are some asthma medications that can do that. Do you know which one(s) she uses? Such information would enable me to check more precise details for you. ## I believe she is taking welbeutron....but the hair follicle tests are also coming up positive for meth ## My boyfriend has to take a pre eployment hair follicle test. He has been a heavy user or meth in past, but gave it...

I recently took a hair follicle test and it came back positive for meth. I've been clean since April 24, 2013. I was on Trazodone and Prozac until roughly July. My hair said I was positive with only 2100 points on the chart. Could it be from my meds? ## One of the great features of hair drug testing is that it is good at isolating the metabolite that for a particular drug which reduces the incidence of false positives. The number 2100 most likely means 2100 pico grams per milligrams or 2100 pg/mg. That appears to be low or recreational use. As far as the meds causing a false positive I doubt it. I don't know how many inches were tested and the complete time frame (when the hair was collected) so this is the best answer I can give. ## What OTC medications & prescription medic...

He takes Clonidine 0.2mg (1am, & 1pm); Amlodipine Besylate 10mg (1pm); Testosterone Cypionate (1ml) 1 per wk; & Hydrocodone 10mg (1 tab four times daily) can any of these meds cause a false positive on a hair follicle test? Cause CPS has taken our kids and is trying to build a case, but we don't do drugs and yet his hair follicle test was off the chart over 11,ooo mg showed up in his hair. I heard that Bupropion in Lisinopril can cause a false positive. And my husband used to use Lisinopril but has since switched to the Clonidine and the Amlodipine Besylate. I believe it is the Besylate that has built up in his system to be causint the false positive. What do you think? ## will randitine aka zantac produce a false positive for meth in a hair test? ## I hadn't had Methamp...

I have just taken a pre employment urine drug test and tested positive for methamphetemines and amphetamines and I'm prescribed Albuterol sulfate for my breathing treatments and a Ventolin inhaler. And I don't take any illegal drugs so can these medications give a false positive? ## I took a drug test today and failed for Adderall it's been nine days since the last time I've taken Adderall they are sending it to the lab for more detail what will that mean for me ## I recently tested a false positive on my drug test for cocaine. I don't do drugs. It was actually my condition a kidney infection that caused me to test positive. I have found a way to prove my innocence. I gave a place a hair sample that goes back 90 days. This will help save jobs court and probation. It...

Hi, my bf had to take a lot of Claritin D last summer and this summer. He had to take a hair test. They said he tested positive for methamphetamine. I know for a fact he has never touched methamphetamine. So just wondering if taking c d can cause a positive to methamphetamine? ## Taking Claritin should not cause a false positive for methamphetamine. One of the big advantages of hair drug testing is that it is good at differentiating substances. You could talk to an MRO (Medical Review Officer) to see what might be interfering with the test. An MRO is a doctor trained to interpret drug test results by looking at the over all picture to see what might be happening. You can find an MRO in your area at aamro.com. You could also do you own Hair 5 Drug Panel test to verify results. If the hai...

My son with autism had been given a hair follicle drug test and has tested positive for methamphetamine and amphetamine. However my other son who shares the same living quarters etc with his brother test results were negative. I have full custody and know they have not been exposed to either of those substances. Are there any medicines that could cause this false positive showing up in my oldest son? He has autism and takes Abilify and Celexa, also cold and allergy medicines as needed. Could this possibly be the cause of a false positive? ## Usually when people post a question like this or call me for advice I tell them to get a consult with an Medical Review Officer (MRO). An MRO is a doctor trained to look at the complete picture and say why there was a false positive etc... They have...

I'm a non-user who tested positive for methamphetamine. I'm almost 40 years old, male, about 160 pounds, in good shape. I have tested positive for methamphetamine and I need help so I know who to contact based on the false positive. All I currently take is a no Afrin nose spray with menthol because I have bad allergies, a NyQuil cold and sinus, along with some other cold and sinus medicines, just depending on how severe my sinuses and allergies are. Ladies and gentlemen I could use any help possible so that I know who to contact, be it Afrin or NyQuil, to prove that this is wrong information. Thank you so much for your time. ## Hello. I quit methamphetamine 7 months ago. I just got a hair follicle that tested for methamphetamine at 1400 pp/mg. Is that bad or is it significant en...

My husband is in probation, has been doing random urine tests, and they did a hair follicle test that came back positive for methamphetamine. He has never had any drug but marijuana which he has been clean from for more than 6 months. What could have caused a positive test? He smokes cigars, and drinks red bull & monsters daily, and the super advanced whey protein. He drinks beer too. ## He also got a tetanus shot and was prescribed SMZ/TMP substitute for Bactrim. And took ibuprofen for cold.

I have tested positive twice now and cps is trying to have a court order to place me out of the home. I wasn't taking methamphetamine. I am prescribed multiple meds. Help me prove that it was a false positive. ## What meds are you taking? Certain meds (Adderall) may give a false positive for methamphetamine . Did they perform a second test by a different more expensive method to verify the original results. what were the results of the second test? ## I have worked for CPS and administered those tests. Adderall will make you test positive for Amphetamines only, which is fine. If you test positive for both Amphetamines and Methamphetamines its a positive for Meth. If you want to clear yourself request a hair follicle...because EVERYONE denies use, for obvious reasons... ## if the sin...

I took a pre-employment hair drug test recently and was told a week later that I had failed the drug test because there were high levels of meth...The thing is, I've never done drugs (not even smoked pot, and not even one cigarette!), and I've never been around people who do smoke or do drugs! Plus, I don't take any medication, not even over-the-counter (no Advil, Tylenol, NyQuil, nothing!). I'm as square as square can be. I don't even drink! I'm in total shock. I was told that I would receive a letter in the mail if I want to contest, which I absolutely do. What could be the cause of meth showing up in my system, and how do I go about contesting the drug test? And are false-positives more common than I think? It's the only explanation here... ## Blood test !...

I take Phentermine for weight loss and on a Urine test it came back positive for Meth. Can my prescription med's cause a false positive on a Hair Follicle? ## Yes, Phentermine has been known to cause false positives for Amphetamines and Methamphetamine.

I need to know where to look up my medications to see if any can cause a false positive for methamphetamine? ## Hi Jon, if you know a friendly pharmacist that is willing to have an honest conversation then they are your best source of information. Doctors do not have anywhere near the training a chemist does and i would not rely solely on a doc's advice re your meds and how they may affect your drug test results ## Jane Not a bad suggestion but hopefully that poster resolved the issue by now since it was posted last August . At least I hope she would've found resolution by this point. A simple google search for "Rx's known to cause false +'s for Methamphetamine".works as well. ## Cefdinir300capcules will make me dirty for methamphetamines

I did a hair follicle test and it showed up positive for methamphetamine. Could my inhaler cause a false positive? ## I have a hair follicle coming up and use an albuteral inhaler... How did your results turn out? ## I also use an inhaler and just got a positive drug test for methamphetamine and amphetamines. I didn't do either of those. How can i prove i didn't?

I have a cps case in which my baby was taken couple of months ago due to a false positive for methamphetamine. They did a hair test on him and it came back positive for methamphetamine. They are saying I nursed him on methamphetamine. I did not! Also, the amount seemed very high. How could this happen? Help me understand, because I didn't nurse him with methamphetamine in my system. I stopped nursing him on the 29th and didn't take the drugs until the 8th or 9th. ## I want to know can a baby get methamphetamine into their system by someone who does methamphetamine by just holding the baby? The baby has never been around the methamphetamine or been around the person who does methamphetamine when they are actually using it. Can it get into baby from sweat or by holding the baby?

My daughter was given a hair test and it came back positive for methamphetamines. Could the 3 mg melatonin supplement before bed be what's showing up? ## Due to severe crohns have been on methadone 240mls a day, demerol 12 50mg a day and 8 30mg a day codeine, weed 10 joints a day and gravol 50 mg 8 a day all prescribed and have always passed a drug test for 15 yrs. A yr ago I started melatonin and all of a sudden I tested positive for benzos and methamphetamine. I have never ever taken anything that wasn't prescribed because I have had 52 major surgeries including removing my large intestines and 85% of my small and I now have rectal stump syndrome which gives me horrible cramping everyday. I would never take something illegal to jeopardize my pain meds. I have no idea whats hap...

Will Robitussin Cold and Flu cause a false positive for Methamphetamine on a urine drug test? ## I wanted to know if robitussin flu can cause a false positive for methamphetamine? ## I took a hair follicle test for CPS and they came back negative for 30, 60 and 90 days for all drugs. 40 days later to close my CPS case I took another hair follicle test and it said positive for methamphetamine at 30, 60 and 90 days. This does not make sense to me because I do not use methamphetamine. ## My drug test came back positive for Methamphetamine and I do not do any drugs at all other than ones prescribed to me or over the counter.
