False Positive Drug Test Oxazepam

Updated

Hi, I'm in an opiate treatment methadone program.... I showed up positive for oxazepam, but my medications are clonazepam, fluoxetine, hydroxyzine, and testosterone cypionate.... They reduced my dose by ten milligrams and said I must be taking other drugs but I am not.... Is there a reason it showed up as that? What info can I use to fight it at my clinic?

The same thing just happened to me. I go to a Methadone clinic in PA. Ive been there for 10yrs & NEVER gave them any problems. However, since we got a new nurse last sept ive lost my privledges 5times over stupid reasons.I had a drug screen on tues & yesterday they said oxazepam was in my system. The only thing I take is klonopin, neurotin & of course methadone. The nurse insisted I took something else..serax, temezepam or valium. BUT I DIDN'T!!! Of course they dont believe me bc all they see is a lying junky. Ive been clean from all street drugs & meds that arent prescribed to me for 10 yrs now but they still see a druggie. I would LOVE to know how the oxazepam got into my system. If u found ANYTHING out about this PLZ let me know! Id be very appreciative & grateful. Thank you!!

I am prescribed methadone, klonopin and bus par. Also cymbalta and doxepin. My UA came back positive for oxazapam, which clinic says I took Valium. I was admin. discharged after 7 years because of this. I did not take a Valium and clinic refuses to do a retest. My life is falling apart over this. What can I do?

Clonazepam a.k.a. Klonopin and various other spellings.

Is a Schedule 4 Narcotic

It is a BENZODIAZEPINE class drug. Same class as Valium, Xanax, Librium, etc. etc.

You SHOULD NOT be taking this drug! NEVER!

It will KILL you!

It potentiates the effect of Methadone, causing breathing problems, and various other central nervous system side effects. You perfectly well know that you should not be taking it, as long as you have been a Methadone patient.

I was taking clonipin, 15 opana lortab 10 as pain breaker. Also lyrics, and robaxin, and valium showed up. I also took benadryl, melatonin, and fish oil with multi vitamins. Why would valium show up..

I show serax is in the Valium family. I test post for it and never have taken it or anything in its family. Zoloft can give a false positive I am told, is that true?

I have never took methadone, subutex, suboxone, or however you say it when I was on the clonazepam. I never said I had ever took methadone. I only was taking what I was prescribed besides the benadryl, fish oil and daily vitamins, 12.

Can doxipen in a urine drug test come back positive for oxazepan? I was tested and it came back positive for oxazepam, but I have never had this drug! My p.o. is demanding that I account for this, how do I defend such a thing?

Is there any reason why a urine test would show up with oxazepam when u do not take it or any valium I take Ambien and celexa

I have a thread of my own about this...with no replies, btw...but it amazes me how many people get false positives for oxazepam. I'm on klonopin, suboxone, buspar, cymbalta, flonase, lexapro...and the occasional Tylenol pm, ibuprofen pm. Seems we all tend to take a lot of the same meds. I'm thinking it HAS to do with one or a mixture of these drugs causing this.... After our lives are all screwed up, maybe the answer will be figured out by some lab somewhere...

How can I defend my grandson who was recently dismissed from the military for taking oxazepam which he never heard of? He is on no prescription drugs but had the flu at the time of a urinalysis and had taken Sudafed PE, Tylenol PM, and NyQuil. Please help! How could oxazepam show up when only these cold remedies had been ingested?

Okay, did we find an answer??? I am currently on suboxone and they are trying to discharge me saying I'm positive for oxazepam. I was going there to get vistaril/atarex - I go tomorrow too. My Dr. JUST FORCED ANOTHER URINE TEST ON ME THAT CAME UP POSITIVE. I know they feel that our words are s*** but I'm 100 percent benzo clean. I need to find out wtf this is and why it is showing up?

I don't take any drugs, got sick with a cold, drank TherFludm, a lot of it, and Tylenol 325mg with benzonate 100 mg. Showed up positive for oxazepam. I don't even know what that is in and want to prove my innocence.

Its just really sad that our lives can be ruined by a simply crappy test by underpaid careless workers . Nobody wants to help or re- do or believe us when we say .. " I didnt do this" . Drug programs should never kick you out. They should help . Im so sick of having my med cut as my pain goes up.who makes these rules. Why are there no new drugs that kill pain but dont kill you or make you crazy or wasted. Nobody cares about you when your down... they just kick you and hope you die .

Dr. Uzair says that the antihistamine doxylamine succinate (check the ingredients of what you have taken to see if it is there) causes false positives for benzodiazepines. And Dr. Proakis with the Univ. of Richmond says that the most likely culprit (among over-the-counters my grandson had taken) is Tylenol PM, which has, along with acetaminophen, the antihistamine diphenhydramine, used as a sedative in this product. Moreover, drug labs in the U.S. are turning out questionable false positives for oxazepam when subjects vow that they have not taken it because research on the various influences of other chemicals in the body, whether by prescription or available over the counter, is still relatively new and limited in the U.S. In regards to my investigation, the impact of pharmaceuticals such as doxylamine (DOX), phenylephrine (PE), and dextromethorphan (DEX) have not been fully considered and is very possibly not within the scope of the ability of many laboratories to determine.

Such a shame that sooooo many people have this same problem & your life just hangs in the hands of those that choose to not believe us. I had one Dr tell me it was from the klonipin I was on & another tell me that wasn't possible. If you notice a lot of the meds we all take are similar...maybe body chemistry mixed with one or more of these meds??? Regardless, I switched clinics BUT my plan was to print out all the info & posts made by all these people testing positive for this drug...its not a coincidence that this is happening & all these people are not posting anonymously because they have nothing better to do. IT IS HAPPENING... we just don't know why. I thought MAYBE they would take into consideration that this is NOT an uncommon error. I expect it to happen to me again at some point & if there isn't an answer by then, that's what I will do...just an idea. Hope things work out for you.

I take clonazapam and I had a doctors appointment yesterday and the doctor said oxazepam was in my urine sample and I’ve never even heard of it until yesterday and have never taken it in my life and I told him that and basically said well you must have taken it and I said, how could I take something I didn’t even know existed, so someone must be giving me oxazepam and saying it’s clonazepam
