My roommate has tested positive for meth and is currently in jail due to a failed UIs. The medications he was prescribed and was taking before incarceration include:

-Prednisone- 5 Mg (1/M)
-Allopurinol - 300 Mg (1/M)
-Lisinopril - 20 Mg (1/M)
-Loratadine - 10 Mg (1/M)
-Aspirin 81 Mg (1/M)
-Fluticasone Prop 50 MCG Spray (1 spray each nostril/M)
-Cymbalta- 60 Mg (1/M)
-Cymbalta- 30 Mg (1/E)
-Crestor- 50 Mg (1/E)
-Trazadone 150 Mg (1/E (to 2/E if needed))
-Omeprazole- 20 Mg (1/E)
-Tamsulosin HCL- .4 MG (1/E)
-Carvedilol 3.135 Mg (1/M, 1/E)
-Brilinta 90 Mg (1/M, 1/E)
-Nitrostat 0.4Mg(1/150GR) SUBLT 25'S - (Take only for chest pain)
-oxyCODONE HCL 5Mg - (Take as needed for pain) -
Medical marijuana.

The oxyCODONE was prescribed after he was released from the hospital (stint implant surgery). His PO is stating he had multiple dirty UIs for Meth even before his surgery.

Does any of the meds, or combination of meds, cause a false positive for Meth? I support his claim that he did not take Meth. His behavior and outlook, prior to his arrest, has been exemplary and I saw no sign he was back on Meth.

Thank you so much for this help. I do not want my roommate to be unjustly incarcerated.

What if you are not taking any meds besides paxil20 mg and prilosec. I drink a little bit and smoke very little weed. That is absolutely everything. I got my head outta my ass and wanna be a better father. I ain't smoking no more weed but I will taste a little whisky here and there.

i just failed a drug test yesterday. positive for meth. I have never used, let alone seen meth. I do take Zantac and other heartburn medicines and after reading all of these posts i can conclude that heartburn medicine will show up on a drug test as meth.

I tested positive today for meth and propoxyphene (darvon) (which is off the market now) and negative for opioids. I take: ranitidine 150mg 2x/day, Mobic 7.5mg daily, Xanax 2mg nightly, Nucynta 50mg every 6hrs, metoprolol 25mg 2x/day, frequently take melatonin and benadryl at night for sleep. I used to take Adderall but that's been at least a year if not more. I don't even know where it is in my house. As for meth meth, never seen it in my life. I should be positive for opioid and it showed negative so the doctor thinks I'm doing something else with them. I told him absolutely not. They are what has relieved my horrible back pain. I certainly wouldn't NOT take them.

Great! This is why people get turned down right, left, forward and backward for jobs these days - if you take cold medicine or allergy medicine you'll fail the drug test. Great. And the more advanced college degrees you get, the more likely the job you apply for is going to do one of these el-cheapo drug tests. That makes it feel completely hopeless.

As for everyone with heartburn/acid reflux. I am a truck driver and get random ua's all the time. I have to make sure I'm always clean and even have to be careful with how much and when i drink. I have MASSIVE acid reflux and chronic heart burn. You can go to Wal-Mart and get an OTC pill called Omeprazole Magnesium. Take one (or 2 if it is chronic) every day before you eat in the morning and it will keep your heart burn and acid reflux away and still be able to piss clean. If you still piss dirty then you may as well fess up to the factthat you are using.

How can people claim that only meth will test positive and everyone who does is a liar, when "meth" is made from all kinds of gross stuff like battery acid, and bizzare household things. So, if there are so many ways to make it, why do the medial and legal communities act like it's a one of a kind pure substance that all tests the same? That makes no sense. On one hand you are claiming that only meth tests positive for meth, then admit that the crap can be made with all sorts of ingredients. Sounds like a farce to me.

I'm wondering if the adhd medicine vyvanse would cause a false positive for meth? What about bath salts? Do "they" have a test for those now? And could it test positive for meth? They done a dip test, and it showed up positive for both meth & amphetamine. The courts sent it off and it came back as a false positive.

Hair folicle tests can show what substances uve done up to the past 30 yrs. theyre very correct and reliable so anything youve taken will show up in the hair folicle. that includes the weed brownie and the hydrocodone(vicodin). im not certain if the vicodin can create a false positive for amphetamines but u can always google it to find out.

The same has just happened to me with a random test at my job. I have been taking over the counter medication and am on a script for an inhaler. The first time ever I showed positive on one of these things!

I just wanna know what I can use as an excuse to give my PO if I failed. Hell I did use Meth. I'm trying to research what I can blame my result on. I think I will go with otc sudafed, Afrin and zantac. Thanks for the info. Ill repost later and let u know if I got locked up. Oh BTW I am recovering. I relapsed. I used to use every day. I have only fallen off the wagon 2 times in a year. Judge me or not. At least I'm not lying to y'all!!! Lmmfao!

Don't trip dude. There are a lot worse things prescribed by doctors. There is a huge campaign to make meth appear to be the most evil thing on earth, and all the people on here fall for it. It's a big money maker for the legal system, which is just a corrupt corporate entity of Freemasons, just like most of the rest of the authoritative clubs in this country. Judges get drunk s***faced regularly and fall asleep in f***ing bushes drooling on themselves, and demonize other people for doing a few lines and being wide awake. Didrex for sure tests positive for meth. the L and D methamphetamine. I don't do meth, and have taken the Didrex. I got my own blood and urine tests done on my own dime to see if in fact this was true, because someone I knew was in trouble with the law, and got a DUI for meth with Didrex in their system. That's all I can say for sure, because I have tested it myself. Anyone who claims this to be false is either a liar or an idiot.

I don't think one will shot up. Especially if two days go by. But what you can do to be sure is drink 3 glasses of water with 3 scoops of baking soda in each right before you test. It works for all amphetamines and meth. After the test you will have the runs, but that's a small price to pay. I know many people who are on Prop 36 in CA for meth, they do it daily, use the baking soda and test clean every time. don't really know why it works, it just works.
