Positive Result For A Drug I Never Ever Used

Updated

My mom did a urine drug test on me at home. I currently take suboxone to get off of prescription pain killers which I have been addicted to for 12 years. I am also taking klonopin for anxiety but nothing else. The test showed that I was positive for opiates which I assumed I would be because of the suboxone, but I was also positive for methamphetamine's which I have never done in my lifetime. What would of caused that to be a positive result?

Yes, the Buprenorphine in the Suboxone can cause a false positive for Oxycodone, which is probably why the opiates showed up.

However, neither it nor the Klonopin are known to cause false positives for Methamphetamine.

Have you taken anything else? Even over the counter products?

I too am subscribed suboxone. Urinalysis every appointment.. I believe it's a standard instant 5/7 chemical test. Thc, benzos, cocaine, meth, opiates,,ect.. It's then sent to a lab for further analysis. I don't think any of those type of test look for suboxone(bupernephorine ) Yet!..anyways 6 months into this he asked if I had taken any OxyContin cuz I tested positive for this. I absolutely had not and he believed me ,, cuz he said the test showed positive for oxycodone but negative for any opiates..( both have to be positive, can't have one without the other) I said I would do bloodwork to prove , but he right away said that it was probably a false positive...suboxone should never show up as an opiate in a standard instant cup test ... This has to be specified at the lab... Unless it gets popular enough and starts being added to the 5/7/10 panel instant cup test for employment..and listen up,, You will never win a false positive argument or lawsuit against a lab or testing manufacturer--- that means the drug testing instant cups and labs have to admit that their is errors-- bye bye billions of dollars and other issues..!

The other thing you can do is buy an over the counter test,,, and pre test yourself next time... Not sure on quality or accuracy but may be able to prove that they can read false positives to family members ect ...
