False Positive Methadone (Page 2)

I am a suboxone patient, took a drug test (probably the cheap dip stick kind) and it came back positive for methadone. I haven't taken methadone for about 4 months and every drug test since then has been clean. The only things ive taken were benadryl and my subs. What can cause a false positive for methadone, and if so when they sent the remainder of my urine to the lab, it should find that i haven't taken any right? plz help.

I take oxycodone, lyrica, valium and vyvnase, but my urine shows methadone. Would these other drugs interfere?

I have been on oxycodone 40mg for 10 years. I told my PCP that I wanted off of opioids, so my Dr put me on a tapered dosage. I also tested positive for methadone which I have never taken. I do take OTC sleep aids. Could the ingredients of the unison of Tylenol pm or any sleep aid cause the false positive for methadone?

For all of you who are inquiring about your urine test showing positive for Methadone, here is the only information you will ever need to prove that you are not taking Methadone:

1. Go to your Pharmacist and ask for a print out of all medications that you have had filled for the past six months and make a copy.
2. List all Over the Counter (OTC) products that you are taking. Make a copy.
3. Go to your Primary care doctor and tell him about Methadone showing up in your testing with pain management. Ask him to take a blood test specifically for Methadone and explain why. Results should show no Methadone. Make a copy of blood results.
4. Ask for another blood test order that you can take with you so you can have a blood test repeated for Methadone. Make a copy.

The copies go to pain management, PCP, and in your case the Court. Good luck from there. Do not get caught up in the discussions on this site where some say yes for Methadone and others say no way. You think about proving your pain management results are false positives, and demand that this is corrected in their files.
