What Does Ambien Show Up As On A Drug Test (Top voted first)
Updated
Crystal Says:
May 20-26 I was in the hospital taking Ambien, ativan and cymbalta. Once I left the hospital I took my ambien sparingly. The ativan even less and no cymbalta at all. However on June 16 I took 1/2 10MG of Ambien. I had a saliva drug test that next morning and it came back as THC, Amphedimines and opiates. How did this happen??

What home test can I buy to see if I test positive for ambien? I get a random UA as part of a DUI probation. Will ambien show up on it?

Zolpidem is the generic version of Ambien. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON A DRUG TEST as a Benzo or an Opiate. I am absolutely positive about this I have talked to several pharmacists directly. I was VERY confused. I purchased an at home drug test from a very well known pharmacy and right on the box in the Benzo category Ambien was listed. Neither Ambien or Lunesta were listed in the directions for the test. I called the 800 number on the box and the rep I talked to said it was a 'mistake'. That is a very bad 'mistake' for a company to put erroneous information like that on their products.
Ambien and Lunesta are very similar to Benzos but they are not benzos and do not show up on urine drug tests period unless specifically tested for. I have seen posts all over the place saying 'yes' and 'no'. I can say without a single shred of doubt the answer is NO! If you are worried about anything get a home test and use it. They are very accurate and easy to use. $20 - $40 is not much for peace of mind.
I had used Xanax for a while for anxiety and it does stay in your system for at least a week or longer depending on how much and how long you use it. Many of the other Benzos stay way longer. If you have a test coming and are worried about it stop taking them and test yourself first. I don't know if all the drinking and cleansing products work or not but I took a very low dose for a couple of months and it was still showing up after 8 days. I was not willing to take a chance on the drug test so after testing positive after 8 days of drinking plenty of water, juice, high fiber and all the other things recommended to clean out your system I just cheated. I had no idea if they were testing for it or not so that is what I did. I have been scared straight. I will learn to meditate from now on. In this economy no drug is worth risking your job for.

Actually Concerta is not an amphetamine at all. Its time released Methylphenidate (aka generic Ritalin). It contains ZERO amphetamines. The two common ADHD meds that contain amphetamine are Adderall (amphetamine salts ) and Existence. Vyvanse does as well. As a 4th year pharmacy school student, I really wish people would stop posting stuff like this that they aren't entirely positive about. Concerta contains 0 amphetamines.

This is false information. Speaking as a person who works in a pain management office who administers UDS(s)... in the bottom section of our lab order we are required to check off any medications the patient is currently Rx'd. The list only includes meds that will make a person 'Pee dirty'. We test for Benzos, Barbiturates, Amphetamines, THC, Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Methadone, Oxy, and lastly Opiates. Ambien is the 2nd or 3rd medication listed on the lab order.

It happened because in addition the Ambien you took, you smoked weed, took Adderall or smoked methamphetamine, and also took opiates (hydrocodone or oxycodone). All in all sounds like a good night.

Yes, the brand name Ambien most definitely contains Zolpidem! Zolpidem is Ambien. Zolpidem is the generic or chemical name for Ambien. Lorazepam is Ativan.

When in reality, Ritalin does indeed show up on a drug screen as an amphetamine. I read urine drug screens all day long.

I am drug tested at random a few times a month. I am a recovering pain pill addict and on Methadone. Since i am on methadone they test for benzos and amphetimines and stuff like that. I am perscribed ambien and i very rarely take it but if i need it i can take it i just have to let the clinic know. I know the BIG NO NO at my clinic is any type of pseudoephedrine products i also cant take sinus medicine with Phenelyine decongestant in it. Those will show up as amphetamines in your system. If you have a script though you are ok

You should've asked for a urine drug screen; I believe a UDS is fairly accurate, especially if there was a discrepancy in your saliva test.

I took more restoril than I should of and take oxycodone 40mg and 15mg and my urine test came back with hydrocodone in it and I 100% did not take hydrocodone so I ask my pain doc for a print out of my urine test she ask why I said I was going to the lab with my meds and test to find out she said she would talk to them. now my pain doc said that the lab said cause I had alot of restoril (sleep pills) in me there was a ingredient that could of cause hydrocodone to show up. and it happen AGAIN on rozerem (sleep pills) took extra so she had me do another urine test go see her in 8 days and I had no sleep meds in me so if it shows up something is going very WRONG cause I 100% have not taken hydrocodone. will be back on here with results.

Hi. First of all I'm really nervous bc a lot could be riding on this answer along with those of other specialists I will have in my trial. I am 35 and have 2 heart conditions that are very difficult to treat with each other. Actually one of them is an autonomic nervous system called POTS and I take 90 mg of Adderall for ADHD which also helps the vasoconstriction of my blood vessels due to the pots so that I got don't get lightheaded and also for the brain fog that comes with the POTS. However I also have something called inappropriate sinus tachycardia and a fib. I was on this brand-new medication called Corlanor that just got FDA approved in the United States last year however only for congestive heart failure or so I was able to take that medication for a year before my health insurance found out and now I'm unable to take it unless I pay $1000 a month and considering I'm a substitute teacher that doesn't work out so well. Literally the only thing you'll need medications they keep me stable are the amphetamines and the benzo's I know this seems like a crazy mix but with the autonomic nervous system disorder without the Adderall every time I stand up my blood vessels don't know how to compensate for the pull of gravity by constricting so all the blood rushes down and therefore my heart compensates by beating 50 beats faster every time I stand To try to get the blood back up to my heart and brain otherwise it sends fight or flight signals to my brain and causes my heart to easily get out of control where I'd have to go to the hospital on many occasions. So I'm prescribed Lorazepam for that I have tried every other medication under the sun but because of the two conditions one medication exacerbates the other one and vice versa. There was an option of an ablation but the head of cardiology your cardiovascular surgeon at the Cleven clinic turned it down. And so to my point I got pulled over a few months ago and it's a hard city in Ohio that is notorious for pulling people over for no reason. I Now according to the report the office or the state highway patrol was stopped but she wasn't he was coming towards us I pull into the gas station to get coffee and he comes up to my window I'm confused because I don't believe I've done anything wrong. He asked for my license and proof of insurance and he asked me to step out of the car. Now, my ex does have a past and so they know my car Needless to say. Last year they took me to jail because I didn't have a copy of my drivers insurance on me even though I had it and it was Valid and I could show it on my phone. So anyway my lawyer just said my urine came back 500 something of adderall. Now it's not mg. If it exceeds the limit. Does anyone know what this is ?my lawyer isn't the best at communicating but on the plus side they pulled me over wrong. When he ordered me out of the car I asked if I was being detained for some reason and he said no man but I need you out of the car now in which he immediately search me I didn't have to spend the night in jail but not really sure what's going to happen next is anyone have any advice whatsoever that would be so helpful

Ambien contains the active ingredient Zolpidem and neither it nor the Cymbalta, which contains Duloxetine, are substances tested for on those types of tests and they are also not known to cause false positives for anything else.
The Ativan contains Lorazepam, which is a Benzodiazepine and it is also not known to cause false positives.

Where you taking anything else? Even over the counter products or something else they gave you in the hospital?
