sabrina Says:
I have been taking suboxone for almost a year and had to move to a new doc. They drug tested me and said I tested positive for benzos. The funny thing is I have not taken ANY benzos. I have to go take another test today at 5 and I am scared s**tless cuz they said if benzos are still in my system then they can not see me. Knowing that I haven't taken any benzos makes me wonder if I might still test positive for it again. I did take some cough syrup and some percs but that is it. What could cause this?

One of my friends took a p test and it said he had benzos but he didn't take any but he said he took advil,,so maybe its the advil that throws it off. Idk how or why.

Ibuprofen is actually known to cause false positives for THC/Marijuana use, not Benzodiazepines, but as I have stated before, on the cheaper, less reliable tests, it seems anything is possible. False positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

Are there any other comments or questions?

Methadone is very similar chemical structure to Benzodiazapines...I know someone who was on Benzodiazapines and his test showed up positive for Benzodiazapines and methadone...I read and article that stated that benzodiazapines used in methadone program caused 74% of deaths ..these drugs are poison, they are not there to treat you, they are killing you slowly...MURDER

I tested positive for benzos and Im not taking them! I currently take kadian and cymbalta. The only other things I have taken are a 5 hour energy drink at work because I was tired at work a couple days ago. I am baffled as to why I tested positive for benzos. I was looked at like I was lying when I said I hadnt taken any! Im going to ask my doc and my pharmacist about this too. I mean if there are so many false positives for benzos I think something should be done about it and it needs to be made clear to people testing that false positives are possible. peoples futures and lives are at stake. If there are drug interactions that may cause these false positives that also needs to be made clear!

I recently had a drug test come back positive for benzos, my drs office said oxypan. I have no idea what this is or why i would have tested positive for it. I currently take Adderal, hydrocodone, amitriptyline, benicar, and sometimes sudafed and doxylamine succinate otc qeneric sleeping pills and nyquil. any idea if any of these could test positive for this?

Ive learnedly it doesn't matter if ur an x addict or never been on drugs when u show a positive on a drug test u have been labeled especially with Dr.s.. I had gone into the hospital because they think I had a mini stroke. Well they got all the tests back and the first Dr. Came in and began being so hateful and mean to me as he was telling me I tested positive for Meth. As he continued being hateful the other doctor which was reading my chart pulled him out the door. Then they both came back in and now I'm being treated like a king. Their bedside manner was on overload, then they began to explain that the Colozapam can cause a false positive on a drug test for Meth. At first I was relieved but then I was a little upset because how many people are judged with false positive tests and treated like crap. I'm sure a lot well I thought thank God but the damaged had not happened yet. I was in court for my disability case and what info do u think they had. Yep, that I tested positive for Meth at the hospital. Nothing saying anything about the Colozapam being the issue. So do u think I received my Disability. Ur right nope. They didn't care what I said cause I had no proof. But I do now thanks to y'all.

Sorry buddy. Taking clonazepam WILL show up as a benzo. It just takeslonger to be metabolisedand excreted. Most drugs actually take 4-8 hours beforethey will show up in urine.

Took a drug test at a temp employment place the other day and the 2nd line for methamphatamine (sp?) was positive. No big deal i told them it was probably my anxiety pill. Hell i dont know and wasent worried, I called them with the name & such when i got home. I also called my pharmacist to ask while waiting on them to answer me. The pharmacist said no that wont show up but have you taken any cold meds or cough syrup. I told her no not recent enough for this test. She then asked if i take stomach acid pills, ii said well yes i take one everyday. She asked what kind i said Zantac 150, she said that was it, it can show a false/positive. Thats wierd to me but hell i dont even know what methamphatamines are. I called the ppl back told them, they called back saying that wasent it according to their doctor& that i may have to retest. Heres all i take when i need to and that would have been in time for that drug test, but why would they keep telling me different than my pharmacy?? Ok i take weekly if not daily zantac150, Aleve, Mucinex, Allegra and my anxiety pill-generic for Celexa-citalopram. What is your opinion? Thanks

So let's say you've just tested positive for a benzo or anything else and you KNOW you haven't taken anything you weren't supposed to...just what you're prescribed and OTC meds. You always have the option of sending it off to another lab. Parole/Probation officers--they will send it to the main lab no prob. Most of the time employers will send it too. Most Drs do but some of them act like it's too much trouble. What I'm getting at is these people that administer the drug tests, they know absolutely nothing about the results. They are just reading the label. When it's sent to the lab, they actually break things down and get to the root of the issue. In my experience 9 outa 10 times the results come back CLEAN. So if you know there is nothing in your system that shoudn't be, I would raise hell until they send it off!!! Good luck ya'll

My wife and I both on long term methadone script tested positive last week for benzos. We do not use anything outside our scripts however the night before we both took nytol (diphenhydramine) which we had been told by key workers was ok. Bad enough we failed our clinic test but these results are also part of my wife's driving license renewal and could have catastrophic consequences. Early in this thread someone said nytol may be linked to false positives does anyone have any further details?. I looked on the diphenhydramine page that the post linked to but found no further reference. Thank you.

Hey there..I too tested positive for Benzo's a few weeks ago, and although I denied using any they didn't believe me! The most frightening thing right now is that I have tested NEGATIVE for methadone in my last 3 urine tests! I drink my dose (50mg) Mon-Sat right in front of the Pharmacist, and carry Sunday dose. How is this happening??
