I have to take a urine drug test weekly and it gets sent off to a lab to be double checked. The last 3 weeks it says I failed for Gabapentin. I have not taken that kind of medicine my whole life. The only medication I am taking is Suboxone. Can someone please tell me why or how this is happening? ## I can tell you that some people that have been in jail have tested positive for cocaine while taking Gabapentin. They have actually stopped giving it to people in jail for this reason. I don't know the truth in this but I was told that Gabapentin pulls false positives constantly! Sometimes for benzos other times for cocaine. You tell me why? If there's a doctor out there please respond! So people that say you cannot test positive for other drugs are wrong!!! ## I'm posting this b...

I have tested positive for benzo and cocaine.. I have not done a benzo since my last prescription over 10 months ago and I haven't touched cocaine since I was 23 and I am now 35. Can inhalers vitamins nasal spray Excedrin or gabapentin do any of this? Please I need help! ## I have been clean and sober for 7 months and was given a hair strand test and it came back positive for cocaine and benzo's! I am not sure why the test comes back positive, but I am clean and the test is wrong!

I haven't taken gabapentin, it made me ridiculously tired when I was prescribed it back in December so I stopped it. Recently I tested positive for gabapentin and can't figure out why...i take lexapro, lamictal, imitrex, maxalt, suboxone, melatonin, benadryl as needed, ibuprofen as needed and I've had a sinus infection so I was taking otc cold and sinus medicines, one was a daytime formula, a nighttime and decongestant. ..Please tell me what's causing this ## I am on methadone and tested positive for the gabapentin and I know I did not take it. So I feel that I am almost in the same situation as you. Have you found anything out about your results or why it would happen??

Hi, Im 37yr. old caucasian male. Im in methadone maintenance, and i have begun slowly taperin off it. I take 90mg methadone, 30mg oxazepam morning only, and now I tried recreational dosage gabapentin (neurontin). I learned, that for fun, its worth of nothing except poisoning own body. Dose of gabapentin was 7x300 = 2100mg. Passive smoke is impossible, and I haven eat any hemp pruducts. I blame that false positive Gabapentin.. can it really be so? ## Hi Deadboy, I am currently in the same situation! I also am treated for opiate dependency at a methadone clinic. The dr at the clinic prescribed me 300mg 3x's a day of Neurontin and I am now testing positive for thc and I DO NOT SMOKE! I have recently quit the medication and I am waiting. This my last drug screen to come back. Thus is ru...

I take large doses of neurontin, wellbutrin and the muscle relaxer flexiril. Can these drugs cause a false positive for methadone? ## Neurontine showed a false/ positive for opiates on my drug test.

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...

Can neurontin give a false positive for cocaine in a urine drug test? ## Neurontin contains the active ingredient Gabapentin, it is an anticonvulsant, which has also been shown to help certain types of nerve pain. And no, it is not known to cause false positives for any other drugs. Where you taking anything else? Even over the counter medications? ## This is for a family member. He was taking alleve and nyquil for tooth pain (possibly). He did have a root canal a few days later. Thanks for your response. ## Maria, had he had anything done to the tooth, prior to the root canal? If the dentist used anesthetic to numb it, then that could explain the false positive. Some of the anesthetics they use are distance relatives of cocaine and could cause false positives for it. Aleve has been kno...

I take gabapentin, hydrocodone and oxycoxone but tested positive for hydomorphone in a drug test by my work places ## If they use one of the less expensive, non-certified tests then it was likely due to the Hydrocodone and/or Oxycodone that you take. It is well known that most narcotics will cause false positives for their relatives anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time on these types of tests. Learn more drug test details here. Did they send it out to be lab tested? ## Hydrocodone is converted to hydromorphone by enzymes in your liver. That's why the hydrocodone doesn't show up, it is broken down and coverted. ## Jay is correct.

I came up positive today for methamphetamine on a urine test. I've never touched that drug a day in my life. Does too much of it in your system cause that? I also take tegrotol, remeron, and catapress. They sent it out but I'm going crazy because I don't know what's going on....someone please help! ## I recently had a urinalysis sent to a lab. I just began taking Gabapentin maybe 2 to 3 weeks before this. I came up positive for cocaine and I never ever have done cocaine! My opinion is yes it does throw false positives. I spoke to someone who was in jail and people were coming up positive for benzos and cocaine while taking the Gabapentin. They actually quit giving it in this particular jail for this reason. ## I take Gabapentin but not cocaine, yet the drug test shows up...

Can Lisinopril besylate give a false positive for a diabetes sugar test? My A1C came back 12.7 and 6.1 is normal. ## Can any of these medications cause a positive test result for methamphetamines: Lisinopril, Gabapentin, Hydrochlorothiazide, Levothyroxine? ## Can Lisinopril show up in urine drug screen?

I came up positive for amphetamine, methamphetamine, opiates, oxycodone lcmsms, benzo, UR-144, FUB-AMB synthetic cannabinoids. What medications on the following list could cause a false positive on my drug screening? - Sulfamethoxazole - Gabapentin - Paroxetine - Baclofen - Ciprofloxacin - Diclofenac - Ciprofloxacin - Hydroxyzine - Oxycodone - Azithromycin - Ibuprofen 800 - Promethazine - Acetaminophen ## What kind of drug testing are you doing right now? That's a bit crazy that you could come positive for all that without getting lab tested.

I take Tramadol, Vistaril, Norco, and Gabapentin but recently i tested positive for amphetamines, benzodiazepenes, and Oxycodone. Is that possible? ## Well visteral is benzo, the amphimatines must be cmn from robitussin, but tramadol and norco are not oxycodone.

I have had 2 urine drug screens w a 2 1/2 wk difference between. The first GC/MS + phenobarbital >1000ng & the 2nd + 816ng. I've never taken this drug before. The meds I do take are: gabapentin, tramadol, ibuprofen, sumatriptan, omeprazole. Please help! ## Nothing you've listed is known to cause false positives for any type of Barbiturates, including Phenobarbital. Has your doctor had any ideas as to what may be causing it? Did you take anything else, even over the counter products? ## Not true. Google NSAIDs (ibuprofen) and phenobarbital. Several stories from legitimate sources about them causing a false positive for barbiturates. I know because I am arguing with my doctor over this very thing right now. I take Adderall and am required to get drug tested. She said anoth...
