False Positive On Urine Drug Test For Cocaine

Updated

I tested positive for cocaine today at my pain management..I dont do illegal drugs.I had them take my blood to send out..its imposible for that because I in no way used it. I am on percocet, methadone tab for pain, zanex, soma, nurontin, fiibrid, and buspirone.. I am just in shock over this...why did this happen?

None of the medications you've listed have been known to cause false positives for Cocaine.

Did you take anything else at all, even over the counter products of any type?

I doubt there is any need for you to worry too much, because the blood test at the actual lab should have no problem distinguishing what you actually took and should not report a false positive.

I was in a similar position last year, when my pain doctor told me i tested positive for PCP!!! Like you, i dont do drugs!! And today i was told i was positive for xanax, which i also have never touched. I reminded him i take klonipin, which is a long acting cousin of xanax, and he said no, they could discern the difference. I really don't understand why these weird things are showing up in my urine. Honestly, i do not use anything but my prescribed medication; baclofen percocet klonipin thyroid, zoloft, aspirin and claritan D.!!

yes my blood test came back negative thank god but they are still concerned..I haven't spoke to my Dr. yet but I am aloud to come in to discuss it. Before those results came in they called me to tell me that my Dr. said I should go to rehab..WTF, excuse me but are you kidding me? I was so shocked. how unfair. They said my, I think it's called metabolites were very high..like 300 whatever that means. So my next appointment is the 26th..we'll see. I will not except anything but to be a continued patient. I have been with him for years without not one incident. I will let you know..thanks for all the responses.

Please let us know what happens. I got canceled due to a false positive cocaine. My MD in retaliating over me turning him in for fraud. Did you suddenly get a bill that insurance won't cover and the MD expects you to pay for it?

Guy the medications that you listed alone, and I do not care what kind of pain you are in(with exception of a small amount of methadone for chronic pain only!), the meds you are on are off the charts taking them combined! It is sad to say you probably do not have much of a life, although been their, so imagine the pills are your life, which is sad! So until you can get off half that s***, you;ll remain not to be a produtive part of society!

It is probably a false test. It must be confirmed, and having a blood test is ridiculous since Cocaine is metabolized very quickly and it is out of your blood within a few hours, and about 10 hours for urine. Blood Drug of Abuse levels are only good for very recent use. Substances are metabolized in the liver and kidneys, and excreted later. Ask for a confirmatory test done by GC or LC/MS, it may cost $100.00 per drug, but it is worth it.

Could be chemicals in the percecets and klonipin mixing and causing confusion.

No way would the mixture of those two medications create a false positive on Cocaine. You should be sure it is confirmed by LC/MS/MS or GC/MS at the very least! The parent drug Cocaine won't stay long, but Benzolyecgonine will, this is the metabolite of Cocaine. Hope this helps.

It seems to me that, just like any other drug test, a hair follicle test can be faulty too...a friend of mine is at risk of losing her kids because of a false positive. She lives with me and I know for a fact that she doesn't do any drugs and she doesn't drink, not even occasionally because her kids come first and you never know when an emergency situation with your kids will arise so she stays clean and sober. Now her ex husband demanded the test and it just so happens that he is my ex brother in law and did this same thing to my sister...ironically, he is/was a dealer for the entire time I've known this man

Hey Doctor!Your right!You don't know!So until your enduring the pain they are going through,why not keep comments to your self!I myself have chronic back pain, so bad that they're are times I can barely walk, much less climb out of bed,I only take Percocet's,I wish I was taking a few others with it, cause the meds I take now aren't enough,I also go to a pain management clinic, the shots work great when the work and sometimes they don't!

I just recently had a hair follicle test taking and I know for sure its a false positive for cocaine! I literally dropped the phone when the lady told me what I tested positive for because I NEVER in my whole 39yrs of life even been around that stuff. The reason I know how it looks is from television and that's it!!!! Right before my test I was on antibiotics for a tooth infection. So can amoxicillin really make u have a false/positive for cocaine?

Same thing for me. I've been taking amoxicillin for a chest infection and came back positive for cocaine. Nurse tried to make me sign a paper for breach of contract and then the doctor came in and looked at my file on the computer. Then he ripped up the paper i was supposed to sign and told me to come in next thursday to take another urine. That's how i found out about amoxicillin, a freaking antibiotic will cause a false positive test for cocaine.

Weird. I get prescribed Suboxone, Xanax, Prozac, Buspar, Seraquel, Nuvigil, and Ambien - and have been for years. 5mg of Xanax at that. AND I DID NOT ASK FOR IT. A DR WITH 37 YEARS of experience has me on all of that. I know this next part because I'VE SEEN IT MORE THAN A FEW TIMES; A lot of holier than thou doctors DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. PERIOD. I KNOW of docs who will preach ALL DAY TO not do this and that BUT THEY, THEMSELVES, ARE TAKING AND DOING ANYTHING THEY DESIRE. They can all deny it but through friends and "others" I HAVE SEEN IT. I can think of 3 off the top of my head that CRUSH PILLS and abuse them EVERY DAY AND do COCAINE IN BETWEEN SEEING PATIENTS! HYPOCRITES!

BUT we are all supposed to just sit down, shut up, and shake our heads in agreement and "buy" all the b.s. on the news & hear the same b.s. from doctors WHO ARE TAKING PATIENTS $$$ ONLY TO TURN AROUND AND PREACH AT THEM. But yet I know so many of them are doing WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AND get away with it DAILY. "MAN'S LAW" NOT COMMON SENSE is what is shoved into our faces in this country. Just because it is "MAN'S LAW" doesn't mean it's right. Ugh.
