False Positive On Drug Test For Nyquil

31 Topics Found

I took some Nyquil Monday night and Tuesday night but I didn't take any on Wednesday. Thursday afternoon I may have to take a drug test. Will it show up as a false positive? ## From what I can gather Nyquil is known to test false positive for Amphetamines, Heroin, Opiates, Morphine, Meth, Ecstasy, & Methadone. I'm not sure if this is a complete list of drugs, but it may help you out if use the following webpage as a reference for proof: askdocweb.com/falsepositives.html I hope this info helps! ## I go to a Suboxone clinic; been going there for 8 weeks and finally get my take homes. Before you had to go every morning between 5-8 a.m. to get your daily dose, plus see your councilor 2 times a week and the doctor once a week. I have been clean from heroin since the day I started...

I have been in and out of jail and rehabs for the last year. I have finally found someone I love, got a job and I'm sincerely trying to live right. Since I have left rehab I cannot sleep, so I take large amounts of NyQuil to help me rest. I was drug tested at work the other day and it came back positive for cocaine. I am suspended from work now and that is a violation of my drug court so I'm in trouble with the law again. My question is, can NyQuil cause a false positive for cocaine? ## First off if you are doing as well as you say good for you. Bummer, this has happened and yes I have heard of this happening before. If I can suggest something don't let them get over on you. If you really haven't used and are clean then you need to fight till the last min. for your right...

I'm on drug court and have been clean for almost 19 months. I'm supposed tip get promoted to my last phase of drug court tomorrow until my p.o. called me today and told me i dropped dirty for cocaine but didn't use. The day they said i dropped dirty i was sick all week and was taking nyquil and day quill. Would that of made me have a false positive ## I just read your post and I feel your pain! I took a drug test a few years back to get custody of my child! I was taking Nyquil for about 3 weeks and have never done a drug in my life!!!! Imagine this, it came back positive for methamphetamine! I was totally stunned!! When I had to take the hair sample! I had it taken from my body instead of my head, which goes back years! I knew there was never going to be a problem but to my ...

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 go to a methadone clinic, a nurse forced drug screen showed positive for xanax and clonazepam metoolites. I have not taken klonopin for two years, the clinic is adament that I had to have taken it,, and I am 100% sure I did not. My Meds are methadone, xanax, lamictal, diovan, celexa, synthroid, amatriptaline, ambien, compazine. My over the counter meds are, nyquil (migraine treatment along with the compazine) calcium, prenatal vitamin, B12, D3. please help, my take home status will be revoked, and I know I didn't do it.. ## Ok update. They claim that the drug company again tested down the urine and the same results showed. My urine sample was 14 days old at time of second test down, could that effect the outcome. ## My methadone clinic just did the same thing. Im prescribed Xanax ...

I took a urine drug test for my job and they said it came back positive for methamphetamine, but I dont use methamphetamine. I've just been real sick the whole week before and took a lot of diff. meds to break da fevers and my bad cough. What could have caused it to come up positive? ## Well, I can't check the specific medications, since you didn't list what you took, but there are some cold remedies on the market that can give false positives for Methamphetamine. Some examples would be: NyQuil, Tavist-D, Sudafed and Dimetapp. Can you post back with more information on what you took? If so, I'll gladly check them for you. ## I also got a false positive for methamphetamines on a drug test after taking perscription Nalex-A , a decongestant. Is there some response from the ...

Can neurontin give a false positive for cocaine in a urine drug test? ## Neurontin contains the active ingredient Gabapentin, it is an anticonvulsant, which has also been shown to help certain types of nerve pain. And no, it is not known to cause false positives for any other drugs. Where you taking anything else? Even over the counter medications? ## This is for a family member. He was taking alleve and nyquil for tooth pain (possibly). He did have a root canal a few days later. Thanks for your response. ## Maria, had he had anything done to the tooth, prior to the root canal? If the dentist used anesthetic to numb it, then that could explain the false positive. Some of the anesthetics they use are distance relatives of cocaine and could cause false positives for it. Aleve has been kno...

I was tested a couple weeks ago by swab and it came back as having methadone in my system. I had been taking nightquil for a cold I was starting to get. Could it have come back false positive? ## I just liked it up and yes, it seems that some of the ingredients in Nyquil can cause a false positive on some tests for Amphetamines, Heroine, Methamphetamines, Morphine, Methadone and other opiates. They don't specifically state which ingredient it is, but the resource I use lists only the medications that have been scientifically/medically proven to register false positives for other substances. So, if you weren't taking Methadone, the Nyquil is probably your answer. Are there any questions or comments? ## I am on several Rx drugs plus I take weekly injections of B-12, folic acid I a...

I take about 3,000 mg of tylenol max strength a day - could this cause me to test positive for THC on a urinalysis test? ## I took Tylenol pm 4 days before I had a drug screen for probation. As far as I know, the only OTC thing I can't take is Nyquil due to alcohol in it. Will the Tylenol pm show up as anything? I don't take it but maybe once or twice a week.

My son is taking aleve, ibuprofen, sertraline and has tested positive for benzodiazepines. He just started on trazadone and is still testing positive for benzodiazepines. Do you know if any of these can be the cause? ## Sertraline causes false positives about 26% of the time. In some people (like me), the body metabolizes it in such a way that it creates a benzo type chemical. Aleve will also cause false positives. ## Can jet alert or red bull or Hydrocodone/acetaminophen cause a false positive on drug screen for benzos ## Ive been testing dirty for benzodiazepines. Ive been taking flomax percocets aleve benadryl nyquil ## there are many over the counter meds and prescription meds that will show false positive.if you know you haven't taken what you're being accused of then deman...

Taking robitussin, nyquil, extra-strength aleve, sudafed, sudafed pm, cold/flu alka-seltzer, aspirin, tylenol, ibuprofen, norco, afrin, albuterol sulfate inhalant, Ipratopium bromide and albuterol sulfate inhalant, and afrin. Would any of these cause a false positive for amphetamine/methamphetamine? And if so, on what type of drug test(s)?

my drug screen came back positive for dilaudid which i have never taken. i do take loratab & soma along with blood preesure meds and statins. i have also been taking antibiotics & nyquill, dayquill, & alkaseltzer cold plus for bronchitis. could this make the test come back positive? ## In this case, it may have been the NyQuil, it has been shown to cause false positives for many substances on drug tests, including various opiates. Dialudid contains Hydromorphone, so it is an opiate narcotic and the NyQuil may explain it. And the Soma can even test positive for Morphine. I hope this information helps! Are there any comments or questions? ## I have a priscription of loritab can i take dilaudid or suboxine. i have to take a test for drug court its a 10 panel urine test i am jus...

I am going to be tested, but am not sure which test I will be required to take. can u tell me what the test will show if I take flexril, tramadol, prednisone, and nyquil ## As far as I know, prednisone shouldn't show up at all, and neither should the other things but each of the other is a possibility. Tramadol isn't necessarily an opiate but it works with the opiate receptors and can cause a false positive. Flexeril is a skeletal muscle relaxant and also isn't tested for on any ua as far as I've ever heard, but it has been known to cause false positives for benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Ativan, etc.). And also NyQuil contains alcohol I believe and if your test includes alcohol as a panel it can show up depending on how far apart your last use was from your test and ot...

Can you fail a drug test if you have taken BC powder earlier? I tested positive for methamphetamine. ## I’ll start off by saying it’s very rare to fail a drug test from BC powder. I take it all the time and I take a UA (drug test) every month because I’m prescribed Subutex. BC powder is aspirin but it’s in powdered form so it’ll hit faster it also has caffeine about 65 mg. The aspirin is 845 mg, So generally speaking it’s not common to fail for methamphetamine from BC powder, but I’m not saying it’s impossible. I have taken some over-the-counter anti-allergy medication such as NyQuil and various other things that have had false positive for meth. I can tell you Psuedoephedrine can make you fail for that as well. Had it happen myself and al...

a random drug test yielded a positive test for methadone. If you are not taking methadone, how could that be? ## I am not taking methadone however a drug test for a job today showed positive. I do take several medications and take stuff (legal) like nyquil etc all the time what could have made me test positive ?? ## Methadone is a synthetic opiate and it is possible that on a test that isn't done by a certified lab, other substances could cause you to show a false positive for it, including other synthetic or semi-synthetic opiates. Few employers are required to use a certified lab and most of the regular, inexpensive labs do have an error rate that ranges fro 4 to 50%. Sharron, in your case, it could have been the NyQuil, as it has been known to cause a false positive for Methadone...

I keep testing positive for benzo's and honestly havent takin any my freedom is on the line and I'm really freakin out ## Well, Benzodiazepines are about the one thing it isn't listed as causing false positives for, so it really wouldn't surprise me if it did.

My daughter and her boyfriend are both on arithromycin for clamydia. She also was on an antibiotic for a yeast infection. He was on ibuprofen for kidney pain. He has a kindness stone. Both has failed drug tests for cocaine. One with a patch and one with a urine test. They both claim they have not used,, I tend to believe them. Can you tell me if these medications would cause a false positive for cocain. She failed a patch for cocaine a few months ago also, and she was on antibiotics then. ## Im on suboxone and was on azithromycin along with nyquil and i got a positive drug test for cocain.could these drugs together cause this. ## In some cases commonly prescribed or even over the counter medications can cause false positives for drugs of abuse. Dextromethorphan HBr for example is an OTC...

As to the test, did they send it out to an actual lab to have it tested further?
