Diphenhydramine False Positive For Benzodiazepines
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I recently tested positive for benzodiazepines but I have not taken any benzodiazepines. Is it possible that a sleep aid containing diphenhydramine or benadryl can cause this false positive for benzos?

Would one brand make you test positive and a different brand be fine?
I am testing positive for Benzos, testing everyday now for 2 weeks! I severely injured my back and had my L-1 vertebrate replaced! I've been sober 3 tears today and this is getting to be too much! I take over the counter Aleve and Naproxen, and switched to an over-50 multivitamin. What is causing this? Infection?
Are there any studies proving Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride can test positive for benzos in urinalysis
Yes, Diphenhydramine, which is the active ingredient in Benadryl and added to many OTC sleep aids, has been known to cause a false positive for Benzodiazepines and PCP.
It is actually an antihistamine, that just causes drowsiness a side effect, and many of them are known to cause these types of false positives.
