False Positive On Drug Test For Suboxone

I am having the same problem. My drug of choice was synthetic marijuana but I keep getting false-positives for suboxone. I have never in my life taken heroin or suboxone. I was kicked out of substance abuse treatment because of it. This is f***ed up. Example: On 7/10/2015, I gave a urine sample to my new treatment center as well a urine sample to my primary doctor. Treatment center result was positive for suboxone and the doctors result was clean thru and thru. ## Are there any drugs prescribed or otc that can cause a positive for subutex ## Froggie, Yes there are but you will need to google it. Even if you believe this to be true Unless the said specimen was tested via an extremely sensitive lab. ie; GC/MS your fighting an up hill battle. ## AlwaysAwork thanks for your reply would you ...

Hi, I currently take the following meds; percocet 10/325 (3x day) neurontin 300mg (3x day) mobic 7.5mg (2x day) prevacid 40mg (1x day) klonopin 1mg (as needed, usually 3 per week as much as 1 per day) lisinopril 40mg (1x day) atenolol 50mg (2x day) I also take several vitamin supplements (multivitamin, milk thistle, vitamin B12, vitamin e). My doc drug tested me and said the test showed I had ingested suboxone which I had NOT. I told her that I had no reason to take that b/c it is my understanding it would be counterproductive to the pain medication anyway. Has anyone heard of false positives for this drug? The Doc was very cool about it and said it could be a false positive or I could be lying but she wasn't angry. I am a white male about 40 with hbp, severe back and leg problems. ...

I am not on suboxone, and have not taken or done any, but my drug test keeps coming up positive for it. Is there anything such, other medications, stuff in food or drink, etc. that could be causing this false reading? Please help. ## It is possible with some other medications, for instance if you have taken anything that contains other synthetic opiates, such as Oxycodone or Hydrocodone. However, no, it should not just show up from foods or beverages. Can you post back with a list of the other medications you take, even over the counter items, so I can check for you? ## I have only taken suboxov in treatment 10 months ago, but my urine came back positive for suboxone. I am taking dilantin, motrin, celexa, melatonin, and remeron. What may have caused this? ## Can someone who is taking al...

I recently tested positive for opiates at my PO office. I did not take any opiates but I did take a suboxone film the night before. Can the ua test false positive for opiates? And when they send it to the lab will it still test positive for opiates? ## I just experienced the same thing! I don't know what's gonna happen . My whole life is at jeopardy and I haven't taken anything but suboxone in years. I have 21/2 yrs of jail time to look forward to if this confirmation test comes back positive. I'm so freaked out! Someone please tell me what to do? I have not taken any opiates or any drug other than suboxone. And yet I have been told by my p o that my taking suboxone has no bearing on the positive result. What BS ## It won't be a false positive. Suboxone is, in fact, ...

I take 10 mg Lexapro, 3 mg Melatonin, and Loratab 10/500 daily and tested pos for Benzo.. . Can any of these medications cause the false positive results? ## Is there any "common" way, (like lots of water or vitamins) to flush benzos out of your system within 20 days? I took 1-2mg of xanax for a week and I have a UA with my suboxone Dr in 20 days. I found out (internet) just how dangerous the xanax can be when taken with suboxone so I wouldn't do that again but yikes, I have already had a false pos for eating poppy seeds, and a false pos for THC! I never use weed, EVER, hate, hate, hate the feeling it gives me so I don't need a pos for benzo's, especially after the last two. And this time I am guilty. I took em and now Im kinda freakin out. Help, please. Oh and I als...

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.

Can ambien and bractim cause a false pos test on a regular drug screen ## I was given a 12 panel drug test and I tested positive for Benzos...I currently take Ambien CR and oxycodone 10 mg. Could the Ambien make my test read positive for the Benzos. ## I too have tested positive for benzos which i didnt even know what it was until i asked. I dont take ambein on a daily basis but i did talk to my doctor and pharmacist about it and i was told ambein is a anti benzo drug but bc it comes from the same family as benzos it may show up. I also have been taking a list of other anti depressants that i questioned about. But the only thing they can think of that caused a positive result is the ambein. ## Ambient can definitely show positive for benzos. It happened to me at the suboxone clinic. Ins...

Can you get a false positive while taking Soboxone for Methamphetamine? ## Absolutely unequivocally positively (lol sorry) completely... NO. Without getting into a big scientific explanation, sub and meth are two completely different chemicals that are in no way similar(and your body breaks them down into two different substances that are even further apart) and have two completely separate tests. ## I am disabled as well as on pain management and was recently informed that I tested positive for meth. I don't understand because I have notam am not doing meth. I was recently prescribed trazodone to replace my depression medication due to cost. I'm also prescribed verapamil for high blood pressure and adderall for HDHD as well as Imterex shots for my migraine headaches as well as ...

I'm in iop class and I tested positive for Suboxone. I take Lamictal Seroquel and Zoloft can any of these meds be the reason I tested positive? I did not take Suboxone. ## HELP!

I'm currently taking Trazodone for sleep. I am also involved in a outpatient drug program that uses Zubsolv rather than Suboxone. My last three drug screens have come back positive for fentanyl which I have never used even during my addiction.

I am on a pre-trial contract and get drug tested every week.They do an eight panel that tests for Marijuana, Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, Benzodiazephines, Morphine / Opiates, Phencyclidine, and Barbiturates. They also do a separate test for Buprenorphine. I passed the eight panel test, but a faint line showed up on the Buprenorphine test. I don't take any other medications nor do I use Suboxone. What other medications, would cause the false positive on the Buprenorphine test? I have done research, and it all says that other medications would do it. I'm not taking any, and nothing shows up on the eight panel.. is there anything such as food, drinks, hygiene items, etc. that could cause this to happen? ## I am on the pretrial program as well.

my friend just had to be drug tested for court & the urine test came back positive for THC. he does NOT smoke, so it HAS to be a false reading. the only medications he takes are suboxone (prescribed by his doctor) & miralax .. could either of these medications cause a false positive for THC in a urine test? ## If he tested positive for THC there's something he's not telling you. THC is a natural chemical and is not likely to be simulated from medicine. ## I Went to The Dr. Today Just to Pick Up My Script For Percocets..

can melatonin or depression medication cause a drug test to be positive for suboxone ## My answer to that question would be no, as the human body produces Melatonin naturally. Supplementing this is strictly used to boost your Melatonin to levels that your body hasn't been producing on its own accord. As far as depression medication goes, it is unlikely; but with some drug tests it seems as though anything is likely to show up no matter what you took. So I wouldn't count it out just yet. Have you asked your doctor about getting re-tested? ## I have taken Melatonin and I am having a false positive on my drug test. This is the second time. I took a prescribed 5ml Valium 2.5 weeks before it the drug test. I do not feel like that is causing the problem. ## This is my first time ever ...

I've ben on a pain clinic for a couple of years and taking oxycodone, nver taken anything not prescribed, yet I was told I am taken off the list for oxycodone because I tested positive for suboxone, I've never taken that or anything related to it I am 52 and not into drugs, so why did I get a false positive for suboxone what would cause it, Pleasee help ## It shouldn't, however, there have been many recent posts about similar problems. From various pieces of information posted, it seems that some cheaper tests are not entirely accurate. Normally these tests just look for a category of drugs, they have to use more specific tests to look for the specific ones. That said, I really wish I knew how to help you. Have you tried requesting that they redo the test? There have been se...

Been trying to get into a suboxone program. Already in 1 but this 1 is thru the VA & I get my meds free there so I'm sooo happy 2 get out of this civilian clinic. I've had two drug screens & the following are the results: + sub, + thc, & + benzos. The THC, says my nurse, is OK as long as my levels continue to drop.
