Hi everyone, my wife has been dealing with some debilitating nausea, accompanied with occasional vomiting. She's about 7 weeks into her pregnancy. For the past few days she's barely been able to eat anything more than apple slices, saltine crackers, and some sparkling water. I feel so bad for her! Even plain water is hard for her to stomach. Anyways, our OB has prescribed some Ondansetron for her in hopes that it will bring some relief. She just took her first dose about an hour ago. We usually try to avoid meds as much as possible, but we have already tried some natural products such as ginger, a special morning sickness tea (with ginger, peppermint, spearmint, chamomile), and even an herbal pill (with ginger, vitamin B6, folic acid) ... to no avail. Does anybody out there have...

Can a benzodiazepene come up in your urine if you have taken Ondansetron and Sulfamethoxazole-Trimethoprim? I'm in a half way house and was dropped due to a failed lab result, but I have used absolutely no drugs. ## Hello, Cc! How are you? I'm sorry about what happened to you. Yes, the Sulfamethoxazole/Trimethoprim has been known to cause that, as researched and published by MEDTOX Journal, whom operates a SAMHSA certified laboratory that is FDA certified. You can find them listed under MEDTOX Scientific Inc. in St. Paul, MN, if you'd like to find more information on this. There are actually many medications that can cause such results for benzodiazepines, including some very common over the counter medications. Is there anything else I can help with?
