Ibuprofen False Positive Marijuana (thc) Drug Test

Updated

I took a urinalysis and tested positive for marijuana (thc). I have not been smoking marijuana for approximately 6 months. I am an overweight male who had and has been abstinence from marijuana use. I do not understand how I came up positive without use. My medications include wellbutrim and ibuprofen.

For those of you whom have been victims of a false positive UDS for marijuana, I empathize with you. Recently, I accidentally took 1200mg of prescription ibuprofen. I believed I was taking 600mg 3x200mg, but the tablets were 400mg. Approximately 84hrs later, I submitted a UDS. I tested positive, despite not smoking marijuana for over 11yrs. After contact with the lead doctor at the lab, he insisted I couldn't have smoked marijuana... I, instead, must have EATEN marijuana! My test levels were that low. In addition, I had two separate negative UDS's that bookend this false positive... The three tests were collected over 10 days (once every 5 days). Unfortunately, I am in recovery for opiate addiction, and I am facing an uphill climb because of this. I will continue to be aggressive about this false positive - It continues to be a problem with general UDS's in 2018, despite reports stating this "issue" has been "resolved".

I'm in the same boat. I guess a failed drug screen stay's on you're DAC for 3 years.
I take a lot of ibuprofen even more during that orientation. Because i have a messed up hip. I was wondering can a lawyer have this removed from your DAC report. For a fee of course.
