Benadryl False Positive

Updated

So I had a young pissed teenage step daughter who was asked to move from my house due to her stealing, no school smoking, etc.. She had called dcs on me and told them I was a heroin needle user and medication abuser and so much more. I was traumatized and tortured and humiliated during my investigation and within 2 mins of them having people arriving to remove my children from my home.. Was called in I failed for benzos, paper work ready and literally about to walk out with my kids. I am on my knees at this woman's feet begging and swearing and pleading to her I haven't taken not one drug at all. I took two benadryls the night before they came and being an over counter med who would have ever thought to tell I took it in this situation.. Y do people not know that this is giving false positives? Why would this dcs officer not know these facts? How many kids have been snatched from a happy home over benadryl??? I work two jobs and am a single mother of three and they were taking them in the blink of an eye.. This should be a warning on every single drug screening cup, stick, etc.. I am forever traumatized from this. Who do we contact for the traumatic distress I endured? I want justice and I want all state records pulled and reviewed for every person convicted of kids taken or whatever they're screening for a false positive caused for them for people not knowing facts and it not being a warning on every test. If any person is paid to read a drug screening there needs to be testing and training. I want justice for the unforgettable experience I have with me forever now. And justice for those who has suffered from this false positive. And this lady had no idea..

I feel horrible for the mother and the trauma she experienced after taking benadryl and her failed drug test. Mike i do hope you get your take homes back. I can not tell you how much I appreciate the heads up about the false positives caused by this over the counter allergy med. I use it for sleepless nites, but you can get I will not touch it within a week of the UA I have to have every three months so I can get my regular pain meds. If it weren't for thus site, I would not know. I consider myself very lucky to have this info. Again, Mike, I hope this gets cleared up for you. JMJ
