I have just taken a pre employment urine drug test and tested positive for methamphetemines and amphetamines and I'm prescribed Albuterol sulfate for my breathing treatments and a Ventolin inhaler. And I don't take any illegal drugs so can these medications give a false positive? ## I took a drug test today and failed for Adderall it's been nine days since the last time I've taken Adderall they are sending it to the lab for more detail what will that mean for me ## I recently tested a false positive on my drug test for cocaine. I don't do drugs. It was actually my condition a kidney infection that caused me to test positive. I have found a way to prove my innocence. I gave a place a hair sample that goes back 90 days. This will help save jobs court and probation. It...

I take hydromorph contin and hydromorphone for pain and my doctor did a urine test on me I'm also taking adderal, cloazapam,risperidal,divalproex and on my urine test results I tested postive both times for oxycodone how is this possible when I've not takin it at all. ## Do you know what type of test your doctor is using? If they have really gone with the test from the lab that was the cheapest bidder for business, then it's likely that it's not a certified test and if that's the case, false positives are known to occur on the cheaper non-certified ones anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. The Hydromorphone is a semi-synthetic opiate and this class of narcotics is well known to cause false positives for other semi-synthetic opiates, like the Oxycodone. What has your d...

I took a pre-employment hair drug test recently and was told a week later that I had failed the drug test because there were high levels of meth...The thing is, I've never done drugs (not even smoked pot, and not even one cigarette!), and I've never been around people who do smoke or do drugs! Plus, I don't take any medication, not even over-the-counter (no Advil, Tylenol, NyQuil, nothing!). I'm as square as square can be. I don't even drink! I'm in total shock. I was told that I would receive a letter in the mail if I want to contest, which I absolutely do. What could be the cause of meth showing up in my system, and how do I go about contesting the drug test? And are false-positives more common than I think? It's the only explanation here... ## Blood test !...

My doctor had me do a urine test. it came back positive for methadone. I am 55 and never took any methadone. I take lots of meds all prescribed by my doctor. I take xanax, neurotin, zanaflex, wellbutrole, liptor, plavex, peracet, nedulizer. Can any of them make u test positive ## I am also taking zanaflex and came back positive for methadone, which is impossible! And I finally told them to take blood. Any answers for this zanaflex people? ## It may have just been a false positive or faulty test. I take zanaflex daily and have so for a few years and never had a test come back positive for methadone. Wish I had a better answer, just my experience with zanaflex. Sounds like you did the best option and demanded a re-test. Best of luck to you!

I was told I failed a drug screen and must take all medications in to check them. I take advair, ipratropium, and albuterol inhaler for asthma. I also take allegra D and benadryl for allergies. I sometimes take an over the counter diet pill called phentramin D. Would any of these cause false positives on a standard UA? ## What did you fail for? Was it opiates, amphetamines, or something else? The Diphenhydramine in Benadryl can cause false positives for Benzodiazepines, PCP and tricyclic antidepressants. It could also be something in the Phentramin_D, but I can't find a listing that includes the exact ingredients. Do you happen to know what's in it? ## My son 37yrs old was given 7.5mg loratabs for dental pain on feb 24 he took more than he was suppose to because he was in so muc...

I tested positive for MDMA. I had recently smoked synthetic marijuana. Bizzaro to be specific. Is there anything in this that would cause this false positive? ## what substances, Legal or illicit, can bring up a falsley positve drug tst for mdma? ## I have not taken MDMA in TEN years. Took a drug test for FUN in front of a friend - wanting to see how accurate it was. Tested Positive for THC (yes, I had smoked) and Benzo (which I assume was my prescription for Ativan) but lo and behold I got a positive on MDMA?? Been racking my brain to see WHY and the ONLY thing I can imagine is ZZquil. Have been taking it for a week at night. This is a very scary thought that someone could lose some rights based on a false positive like this. ## I had a job interview today, they took my urine sample (g...

On 11 April 2013, I took a urinalysis and came up positive for cocaine. On 12 April 2013, I was sent TDY to Kansas. On the 26th Of April 2013, I was informed that I had tested positive for cocaine. When I arrived back the lab was closed, so on 29 April 2013 I took a hair follicle test and came up negative on all 5 panels for illegal drugs. How is it possible that I came up positive for cocaine just 18 days prior to taking the hair follicle test? I have never used cocaine, can anyone tell me how I can prove my innocence? The board is now questioning if its possible to do one line of cocaine on the 11th of April then 18 days later come up clean on a hair follicle test. Anyone out there? Please help me out and give me some advice. My lawyer and I have been catching headaches with this! ## ...

I took a drug test for employment & an oral swab was used. I do not use any illicit drugs but I was contacted & told my test came up positive for THC. I do know some people who use marijuana but I understand that it is very rare for a test to come up positive for second-hand smoke, especially with an oral swab b/c it is hard for them to detect marijuana to begin with. I take Ibuprofen at night. Could this have caused it? ## Ibuprofen has been known to cause a false positivr under certain circumstances. You need to ask to re-take it or to perform a more specific test on the previous sample. ## It is very easy to detect THC? I did just read that iboproffin can even show a false positive for LSD of all things? ## I'm on Klonopin and Ranitidine and I keep failing for THC on my t...

My nephew keeps testing positive for Heroin after 14 days of not taking any, but he took a swig of codeine six days ago and swears he is not using. Is this possible? ## Hello.

Will taking cephalexin 500 4 times a day for 7 days show up as a positive in a drug test? Will be taking drug test 3 weeks after finishing meds ## Will the antibiotic reflex show a "false positive" drug screen? ## I recently took a drug test that was a dip stick put in my pee and I was taking keflex, ibuprofen, lamotragen, clonodine, resperidone and the test came back that I had benzodiazepines in it and none of my meds are benzodiazepines the only thing that would give a false reading would be the keflex I was pissed. So they didn't believe me until a couple days later when they sent it off to the lab when it came back negative for benzodiazepines and still they don't think that it was the keflex that caused it. Unbelievable!

Can Minocycline give a false positive for Methadone (EDDT) metabolites? I do not take any medications that I am not suppose to especially Methadone. My career is now on the line. ## Hi Jessie, Although I haven't located any details confirming the possibility of a false positive for Methadone from Minocycline, I do believe that it's still a strong possibility due to the faulty standard drug tests they use today. A lot of these standardized drug tests have a fairly high false-positive response, where it seems as though anything is likely to show up. To my knowledge, false positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. If your career is on the line, the best advice I can offer is that you try to dispute your case by getting re-tested with a gas chromatogra...

I have been on 100mg of viberzi twice daily for about one month for IBS-D. I finally got to see a pain management person about pain subsequent to an on the job injury from 2011 being covered under workers comp. I take 0.5mg Xanax at night to help me sleep, as well as metoprolol for tachycardia, synthroid, estradiol, and topamax for migraine prophylaxis. I've been drug tested many times in the past on all these meds (except Viberzi) with no problem. Today the pain mngmt MD tells me I'm positive for tricyclic antidepressants which I do not take. He didn't discuss this with me further. I can't find any info about false positives with this drug. Any help is appreciated!
