False Positive For Methamphetamine On Drug Test (Page 4) (Top voted first)

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?

I just started taking advair 500/50 again and I just tested positive for meth and I demanded they redo the test and the cup still showed the same thing. My doctor knows I don't do drugs and he said it is going to go to the lab and he asked about all my over the counter meds. He said the lab can decyfer the bad meth ingredients vs the good over the counter meds and not to worry. I have random screens because I am on strong pain meds

If you're testing positive for drugs you do not use, please get a second and, if necessary third, test by an independent lab.

I have had a total of 3 false positives for meth... The levels were approx 1500, 1100 & 825 ng/ml. I am also having trouble finding the average level for a habitual tweaker to compare to, tho.

I, too, just tested positive for amphetamines. I have never used them and take detonate by Gaspari. I heard some rumblings that this product could cause that result. I am going to stop taking it for now, just in case.

I'm on a pain regiment, using oxycodone. Last month I (dipstick) tested positive for methamphetamine. They then sent the sample to an outside lab, which confirmed a level of about 1500. I have never used meth, am in my sixties, and in spite of a negative test this past week, it looks like they will deny further pain meds. It's so ludicrous!! I won't take it lying down, and while I'll be fighting this, I still will have inadequate pain control. Furious!!!! After 4 years of negative tests, suddenly I fall prey to someone's inability to read the list of drugs I take. Thanks for this site, it's been incredibly enlightening. Not just me!

My daughter attempted suicide several years ago. Ironically, she had been prescribed and was taking Sertraline (Zoloft) for depression. Her suicide attempt was via intentional overdose of her Zoloft. She was taken to an ER and sent to an inpatient psychiatric unit where she was drug tested. The test came back positive for methamphetamine. I questioned this result and asked the psychiatrist if there was any possibility of a false positive. I was told "No way." My daughter insisted she hadn't taken meth so I contacted Pfizer pharmaceutical company and asked if it was possible that Zoloft could trigger a false positive test result. The customer service rep advised that they DID have false positive meth results on record for Zoloft. I requested that the hospital recheck my daughter's sample via Gas Chromatography or Mass Spectrometry but they had already disposed of it. In any case, Pfizer was kind enough to send me the reports they had on file so I'm relatively convinced that my daughter's test was a false positive. I also know of several people who have been on probation who have been sent back to jail for 'positive' drug tests done via dip stick. While on probation, they basically have no rights and can't demand a GC/MS confirmation. Docs and judges seem equally unaware of such phenomenon.

My friend tested postive for Methamphetamines. She rarely takes a tylenol or anything else. She did take Aleve. Ibuprophen. Airborn and some Halls cough drops. She is a good woman in her 50s. However, her husband admitted to having "friends" over while she was at work, and they WERE smoking meth while she was at work. What are the chances she could have been exposed to the methamphetamines, without her knowledge. They are totally opposite. She is the bread winner, a good Christian woman, He is a none employed, drug addict. Other than continue to tell her to leave him, how can we clear her name?

I recently failed a drug screen for a job that I needed. My results came back indicating that I was "positive" for THC and Amphetamine. I don't take drugs though, not even prescription however, I had taken Airborne the day before my interview which it has Riboflavin, and I have read that Riboflavin can cause false positives for THC. Is this true? Also, I have taken Acetaminophen 500mg (Tylenol, no Codeine) possibly a month ago, so could this cause the Amphetamine result? I requested a GC/MS test and the kid working in the clinic said he didn't know what that was and when it was explained to him, he said told me he didn't think they did that. He also told me, "No offense, but you look like you hang around the stuff" while I was still in my clothing for an interview -I do NOT dress like a slob for interviews!

I retested the same day, afraid that perhaps my test was switched with another but got the same results. I noticed the paperwork (I paid for), says what I tested "positive" for is "Inconclusive" and "FTN" (Further Testing Needed). I'm at a loss and so confused...
