Will the old Stacker 3 (the ones they took off the shelf 15 to 20 years ago) cause a false positive for methamphetamine on a drug test?

I recently had a drug test and tested positive for Methamphetimines. I DO NOT use drugs and the only thing I was using different at the time was Sudafed + Mucinex DM and breathing treatments as I ended up with the flu and pneumonia. I have been in the hospital twice since and they gave me another drug test again after me taking all kinds of meds at the hospital. Why would they do these tests knowing I will fail?

I had a mouth (oral) swab at drug court and I’ve been clean for 9 months, but the oral swab came back positive for Methamphetamine and Amphetamines. Is that from the Fluoxetine???

My daughter in law just had a baby (6 weeks early). In the hospital they were giving her terbutaline. She had a drug test and it was positive for methamphetamine. She's a good mom and wouldn't do that. Will the terbutaline throw a false positive??

I had a ua at work that came positive for amphetamines. Did not use any illegal substance! I have kidney disease and when the test was taken, I has pneumonia and terrible headcold and also took nyquil, dayquil, and an inhaler. Only other regular meds s I take are insulin and zantac. I think the test was a GC/MS test. I requested to have split sample tested by highly doubt it would change results.....(same urine). Would my condition (diabetic with kidney probs) and/or my meds be to blame?

I took a urine test last week and tested positive for methamphetamine. I've never used it in my life. So I asked for another test and cocaine showed up. Haven't touched it in 30 years. The only thing I had was coffee with Splenda and milk before each test. I take Seroquel, Celexa, Trazodone and Gabapentin. What could cause these positives to show up? As a result, he took me off of my Xanax which I really need because of my anxiety disorder.

How long after you stop taking "Aleve d cold and sinus" will it be before you won't get a false positive for methamphetamine on a urine test?

I was so upset, because I was divorced in April 2011, and we were given joint custody. I had been fighting for full custody, even though I knew that my children did not receive the affection and love that I gave them. They only received very strict discipline for him. That is the main reason I was so upset. I asked for them to run that test after I had the false/postive Meth detection. I've been on adderall for years for adhd.... and that had absolutely nothing to do with causing a false postive. There are also many ingredients in cough and cold medicine. I read every single OTC label before I take anything. Actually, in all honestly I don't even take any OTC meds, because of that. There are so many different names for just one ingredient that I didn't want to take any chances. I hope this helps. Don't let anyone tell you that ritalin or adderall could cause the false/postiive!!!!

I am prescribed morphine sulfate. The same doctor that prescribes called to say I failed drug test for heroin on last visit. My research showed morphine sulfate is a opiate and should show up. I am left shaking my head. He said they were sending sample for further testing. Shouldn't he know this info? I am left to wonder what his motivation is for calling me on this. Any ideas?

i also have never used meth but recently tested positive for meth on a urine test, after alot of research i found that i was taking naprocen for arthritis and trazadone to help me sleep both can cause a positive reading for meth use. i was lucky enough to have a doctor who believed me when i told him i had never done meth in my life and could not tell him anything about it. research will help you find out what has caused this
