Neurontin & Xanax False Positive For Klonopin

Updated

I am on mmt and I take neurontin and xanax, i just failed a ua for having more klonipin than xanax in my system. I have not been on klonopin in several years. Is there anything that could have caused this to happen? I'm in alot of trouble for this and am very upset.

Xanax is indicated to test positive for Benzodiazepines. And since Xanax and Klonopin belong to the same drug class (benzodiazepines) and are similar medications, it would make sense that Xanax is the cause for the false positive result.

False positives are just another term for a mistake made by the testing facility (it's their secret way of putting the blame on you rather than them). If I were in your shoes I would demand a retest or schedule a test at some other clinic or doctor's office for verification purposes. I don't think the system being used today is very efficient at all and is very prone to these mishaps. False positives tend to occur at 40-50% rates at some facilities and it's just a shame, because these results effect people's lives so significantly and they could care less.

I hope you get this situation sorted out!

I am going through a similar situation i have alot depending on my drug tests and i have tested positive for suboxone 4 times i was taking suboxone in the past i was on it for like 2 years i voluntarily quit taking it because of the hasle and withdrawls which caused me to relapse anyway i have 6 months clean today but on paper i dont this is really upsetting but ive been investigating this and i do see a pattern with people taking neurontin i also take this med 800 4xday along with zoloft concerta trazadone and vistiril. the only other thing i can think of is i heard bupinorphrine is fat soluble i havent taken sub for over 6 months if i am losing weight maybe that is possible i dont know or another possibility is i have heard about the plastic cups for urine screens the lids have tested positive for suboxone my whole future is riding on this and i just done understand it 4 times????????? this is just absolutely ridiculous oh and one more thing the third drug test that tested positive for suboxone tested negative opiates when i was legally taking pain meds for a surgery i had i wish i could just get some answers is all
