False Positive For Methamphetamine On Drug Test (Page 10)

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?

Can hepatitis C or liver/kidney disease give a false positive for methamphetamine on a urine drug test? I have not taken methamphetamine for a while and I just had a urine drug test come up positive with a faint line for methamphetamine. The only other prescriptions I take are Sertraline and Xanax. So could my hepatitis C have something to do with that?

I tested positive for THC and Methamphetamine, but never used either. Is there anything in my antidrepressant medication Brintellix that would cause this false positive test?

I am 58 and have never even smoked marijuana! I was seeking different employment and flunked a saliva test for methamphetamine! I had pneumonia and bronchitis and was taking Sudafed, Nyquil, and tried almost every cold medication known to man for several weeks before this test. I am devastated. How can this be? I also take Venlafaxine, Metoprolol, Lisinopril, Hydroxyzine, and Vyvanse. Could any of those have caused this?

I took a urine test last week and tested positive for methamphetamine. I've never used it in my life. So I asked for another test and cocaine showed up. Haven't touched it in 30 years. The only thing I had was coffee with Splenda and milk before each test. I take Seroquel, Celexa, Trazodone and Gabapentin. What could cause these positives to show up? As a result, he took me off of my Xanax which I really need because of my anxiety disorder.

I've been using OTC Vicks, Afrin inhaler, Robitussin, Nyquil and Advil liquid gel with a prescription of Loratacine-D 5-120 and Naproxen 500mg for the past three weeks. My work gave me a random urinalysis from ADOT and I tested positive for methamphetamine. Can these medications be the cause so I can explain it to my employer? I'm afraid of losing my CDL license and a damn good job!

I tested positive methamphetamine and haven't taken any, but I have used an abuterol sulfate inhaler along with ventolin and sudafed. Can these cause a false positive? I have been let go by my employer.

I have had 2 positive tests for methamphetamine. I have not been taking anything other than what my doctor put me on: Baclofen, Buspar, Gabapentin. Would any or maybe all these together cause false positives?

I was given a random drug test at work. I came back positive with THC, amphetamines, and methamphetamines. Yes i do semi-regularly consume marijuana. So I get that... but as far as the amphetamines and methamphetamine results... I take sudafed sometimes and have heard that this can trigger a positive test result for these two drugs. Is there truth in this? Are they able to verify this in secondary testing? If they want to fire me for this being in my system, is it possible to prove my innocence to them and save my job? Please help me.
