Urine Drug Test Gabapentin And Fioricet

Updated

I recently took a urine drug test for a new job. The technician tested the urine with some kind of strip and told me that it was present of opiate, they are sending the urine to a lab for more details but in the main time a fail the test. I am taking also metformin for diabetes type 2. Gabapentin for the pain under my feet's and fiorecet for migraines. What's going to happen to my drug test and what my future employer will think. Thank you

Fioricet is a barbiturate and will come up positive for those if the test is performed. Fioricet and Esgic are brand names of a combination of butalbital (a barbiturate) from Wikipedia

I do not take Gabapentin at all but it came up on my urine drug test.I am in pain management and I've taken drug tests every month for several years and I have never had an issue.I am on Levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and Hashimotos Disease, Nortriptyline, Clonazepam, Baclofen, Oxycodone, and Morphine ER.My doctor knows I don't mess around with medication, I get my pills counted every month, etc..never had a problem.She said she would send the new test I just took for that appointment in for a 13 panel test and if it comes back for gabapentin again she said she will send it back for retesting.I had wisdom teeth surgery before I had that previous test (the one that came up positive for gabapentin) and i had general anesthesia for that plus two weeks after and before that test they used dry socket paste even though it ended up not being dry socket...so, why in the world would the test say Gabapentin?

Hi. I'll start by saying I have chronic back pain. I currently have a morphine pump implanted in my right side belly area. The yrs of medications, surgeries (spinal fusion operations back & front, complications from surgeries about 14 operations altogether. Ive been on gabapentin 800mg tabs every 4-6 hrs as needed. This is a nerve pain medication with no opiates in its ingredients. This with morphine continuous drip pain-pump side effects are minimal, taken w/ food, etc. A very high number of drug tests show what's called a false positive! (hence the reason they're sending it to a lab). Again there's no opiates in gabapentin. Think!!! In the last week before drug test you might have consumed just one opiate pill or an anxiety/pain pill and forgot. Do not take anymore opiates if you want the job regardless of what it says. Tell your employer you want a do-over drug test and dont consume any opiates even if you have a script for some. Your employer wont listen to reasons why, they just will skip you. Ok, good luck.
