False Positive Drug Tests For Morphine

Been going to a pain clinic for abou a year due to spinal stenosis mainly. Went in last week for a med check and urine drug screen. The nurse called me back a few days later and told me i tested positive for morphine. im prescibed 4 lortabs per day through the pain clinic. Also take lexapro, gabapentin, zanaflex, otc allergy med with loratidine, and a multi vitamin. I have been to the point of an almost panic attack ever since the nurse called me with the results that i know have to be a mistake. The nurse said he may call me back or the doctor may call me. The urine specimen was done on april 16th and sent to a lab. The nurse called me with the positive morphine result on april 22. I still havnt heard back from anyone and dont know if a mass spectrometry test had or is gonna be done. I dont know what the levels were showing for the morphine either. I did eat "everyhing" bagel sandwiches that also contained poppy seeds for like 2 weeks straight and sometimes ate 2 a day but dont think i had ate any the day of the test or the day before. I thought the whole poppy seed thing was a myth or that the test levels were set so high until i did research on what would cause a failed test for morphine. I hope and pray they believe me or its a false positive from the loratidine or something because im miserable without pain relief through meds and injections.

The same thing happened to me, only the doctor's office waited 6 weeks to call me, the day before my appointment. I have spinal stenosis, inflammatory polyarthropathy, and fibromyalgia. I have never taken morphine. I found a site that shows what over the count and prescription drugs metabolize as morphine in the urine. Many allergy medications are on the list as well as Vicks 44 cough syrup and NyQuil. I take NyQuil all the time to help me sleep. the doctor's office would not let me retest, said it had "been too long since my last test" which was their fault, not mine. I offered to take a hair test, at my expense, but they would not hear of it and they discharged me. I had never had a red flag, never called for an early refill, never had my medication "stolen" or "lost" it. My pharmacy record was clean for the entire state. They still discharged me. In other words, everyone is 100% guilty, no exclusions, no exceptions.

I had a sherrif drug test me because I was emotional, you're damn right I was, my brother had just died, my son is being deployed again to Afghanistan, he's a us Ranger Sgt. E6, and we were moving, my daughter left her autistic son with me,for me to raise,so yes, I was very upset, He drug tested for a man me and I am on adderall so it came up positive. He wouldn't let me give him my dr. # forhim to call about the tests she gives me, so he arrested me for being under the influence. I've never been so humiliated, judged etc. what will happen in court? What should I take, etc.should I take reference letters? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Oh yes ,
