False Positive For Methamphetamine On Drug Test (Page 11)

I took a urine drug test for my job and they said it came back positive for methamphetamine, but I dont use methamphetamine. I've just been real sick the whole week before and took a lot of diff. meds to break da fevers and my bad cough. What could have caused it to come up positive?

So I just got done at the dr's office and they said I failed for methadone and methamphetamine. I'm really confused cause I've not done either one, so how could that be possible?

Zantac. Ranitidine is the generic version. It has happened twice to me. Call Zantacs 800 number and talk to a nurse.

I take urine tests weekly that are required. The night after taking this weeks, I looked at the cup and the line for k2 was almost nonexistent and the line for methamphetamine was very faint. I take adderall and tested positive for my amphetamine (it's prescribed and expected). I have not used k2 or methamphetamine at all. I do take trazodone and generic Wellbutrin at bedtime, switching every other day or so. Also have been recently prescribed kertolic pain reliever for a bad tooth and had taken 2 on Sunday along with amoxicillin. FYI one of these or a combination may cause false positive for k2 or methamphetamine. I was not positive for it but the lines were so faint. Anyone else experience that?

Re: Heather (# 201)

Do u take Zantac generic called ranitidine? I would just take a hair follicle test to prove ur innocent. Urine tests should never be used anymore with how devastatingly wrong they tend to be.

I am a d/v. I was told I tested positive for methamphetamine in 2014 and had to be taken to the e.R. Earlier this year where I was told the same. This is not possible. I had been alone for four months in the great smokey mountain national park. I take prescription meds, which I have seen posts (a lot) that give a false positive, however, I need to know where I can find medical facts, because the doctors (2) say there's nothing that gives a false positive for methamphetamine. Proventic & Prednisone are just a couple of my meds. This has had a devastating effect on my character and needs to be reversed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can you test positive for methamphetamine by only handling it? My psoriasis is very active right now, my hands are cracked. I put an un-gloved hand into a suspect's pocket and there was methamphetamine present... My hands and fingers were cracked, can I test positive?

We have a CPS case against my husband and myself. Our 6 month drug screening was Oct. 2017 and we have had 5 negative drug screenings. In Oct when we had our drug test the tester told us that we were good to go, which means negative. If it's positive she tells us and what we're positive for. Well, when we went in November our case-worker informed us that we had a positive drug screening for Oct. (Just to let you know this same dfacs office have had employees falsify documents back in 2012. How can I prove that they changed our test results?

I take adderall as prescribed, 1-2 30 mg a day, trazodone 300 mg at night, ambien prescribed a few times a week for insomnia, prescribed suboxone 1-2 sublingual 8mg each per day, diazepam 1-2 10 mg per day as prescribed, and in the last 9 months have not touched heroin, marijuana, acid, etc., as I am a recovering alcoholic and heroin addict. I drank once this year on 11-24. Last had heroin on May 10th and nothing else since 20 years ago. Was clean of heroin from 2008-2017 with a lapse in March - May when my mom died. Immediately I got help from the doc for subs. ADHD and other meds above for years. I haven't had methamphetamine in 10 years and only tried it for 3 days in 2006. I HATED IT as I am a "downer" kind of person. I UA monthly for probation (DUI a year ago) and UA monthly for subs, UA for treatment Jan-Sept and NEVER once have tested positive for methamphetamine in my life, or per dozens of tests above. I do always test positive for adderall, benzos and subs per rx's. Bitter custody case- ordered by opposing parent and judge to take hair follicles for court/custody as I was accused of using heroin. I knew for a fact I would be all good other than positive for Amphetamine as it was a 5 panel hair test. Got follicle results and yes, positive for amphetamine 1,222 pg/ng with a 500 pg/mg cutoff, but came up POSITIVE for methamphetamine at 680 pg/mg cutoff 500 pg/ng. WTH!!?? I know people say it but I DO NOT USE methamphetamine! Negative for all others. How could this happen? I have court in 2 days to get my child back after his opposing parent took him, called DCFS (case already closed due to all my UA's) but now we have court and I have a positive hair for methamphetamine!!!! My atty and doc and probation officer are all so confused. I am scared to death I am going to lose my kid over something I DO NOT DO! No judgement or accusing me of methamphetamine cuz I DON'T USE IT! Any ideas of why or what I can do? Judge isn't going to believe me!

Re: Rick PA-C (# 13)

OMG I am so glad I found this info and will be asking for the test. I am a veteran and I am currently a patient of the VA in Indianapolis IN. I sought help 2 years ago to get off of Norco and xanax that they had been giving me for 10 years. A Social Worker helped me get on methadone 2 years ago and I take my sobriety very seriously. Last week I asked my opioid nurse if I needed to get a USD because I hadn't had one. That test came up positive for methamphetamine which I have never taken in my life. I live two hours away from the hospital and she will make me come there every day again and I am not well and going once a week is killing me. I have severe osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, I am on oxygen, I have had a broken my back four times with surgery, my right hip and femur has been replaced, and my right upper arm was broken in 3 places, and my left wrist had to be replaced with my bone from my upper left arm, and they still don't get how sick I am!! I am afraid she will stop my methadone and i will get very very sick. I am asking for this test and if she refuses to give it to me I will go to the Hospital Administrator until she does. A man just died because she stopped his suboxone because he relapsed and instead of helping him by making him come everyday to dose, he overdosed on heroin... She is crazy with power. I feel that im her puppet and if I dont do what she says I will be jerked around!! I did not and never did take methamphetamines in my life!!! I pray to God she lets me take that test!! I take a lot of calcium and vitamin d, neurontin, album e role inhaler and in my machine the only other thing I take is a nasal spray when my sinuses act up and I took it last week but didn't think it mattered! I bought it at the dollar store. It's called oxymetazoline HCL 0.5%. I also take Benadryl sometimes but its never showed positive and I dont think it would. Now I am a nervous wreck so bad I keep having to do breathing treatments. I cant drive that far again every day!!! What if she stops my methadone? After 2 years of being on it I will get so sick I will die!! Oh I am also on simbacort, spiriva and metoprolol also! I am really scared!!

Re: kay (# 212)

Nobody will reply to my post (# 213), but I take gaba and ambien and adderall (all valid prescriptions) and I tested positive on a hair follicle for methamphetamine and amphetamine. All my urine tests are always negative for methamphetamine but positive for regular amphetamine.....But because of that positive result for methamphetamine on my hair follicle my parent time with my child is now supervised only. So I think ambien and gabapentin can do something because I failed a hair follicle and I take those two meds too, and I know nobody believes me but I'm telling the truth! And it ruined my life now cuz I only get to see my kid supervised until my hair follicles are all clean and so I've had to stop taking everything and I'm completely unmedicated!!! I am going to try to figure out the difference and what's causing the methamphetamine positive. But if it was a urine test my answer to you would be no because I never failed once for urine on those two meds, but if you're talking about methamphetamine hair follicle, I did. But my answer to you would be no for urine that there's no way.

Re: KMCA (# 209)

Ranitidine is a suspect. You can also call the manufacturer of Zantac and they will verify it.

I'm on what is called pretrial. I got caught with .16 of a gram of marijuana back in 2016 and got arrested on June 16th 2017 and now I'm on this pretrial, pretty much probation, but I took some sinus pills around November 2017 and I told the officer that I report to that I have taken them and that my drug test might come back positive. At first she was fine and asked what it might show up as and I told her methamphetamine. I've been clean for over 10yrs off methamphetamine and not looking to go back on it. The test came back positive for methamphetamine and she started hounding me saying it's ok if you slipped up just tell me... Well since I haven't done any I told her it was the sinus pills and I even showed her the rx site that showed the top ingredient that shows up as methamphetamine or just amphetamine, but when I said I wanted a retest they did it on the same sample that was back in the beginning of November or the end of October, but they said that it was confirmed methamphetamine and not the pills. My big question is, how's that when I haven't touched the actual drug in over 10yrs or did the sinus pill really end up screwing me over? Please, does anyone possibly know the answer to that?
