False Positive On Drug Test For Benzos

I take 10 mg Lexapro, 3 mg Melatonin, and Loratab 10/500 daily and tested pos for Benzo.. . Can any of these medications cause the false positive results?

Is there any "common" way, (like lots of water or vitamins) to flush benzos out of your system within 20 days? I took 1-2mg of xanax for a week and I have a UA with my suboxone Dr in 20 days. I found out (internet) just how dangerous the xanax can be when taken with suboxone so I wouldn't do that again but yikes, I have already had a false pos for eating poppy seeds, and a false pos for THC! I never use weed, EVER, hate, hate, hate the feeling it gives me so I don't need a pos for benzo's, especially after the last two. And this time I am guilty. I took em and now Im kinda freakin out. Help, please. Oh and I also take benedryl and have never had a pos benzo test show up for that.

I've had positive from benadryl and from Tylenol PM.

Other then a common way, I would just drink lots of water, avoid fatty foods, salty foods etc. Coffee and vinegar foods will help flush your system too.

Tons of water and cranberry juice did the trick. Tested neg the night before my Dr apt then just to be sure I tested again first thing in the morning only 7hrs later. POSITIVE AGAIN!!! I repeated the process all over again as my appointment was only 3hrs away!! Thanks to lots of water, pee breaks on the way since my Dr is 50mi away and a silent prayer promising to do better I PASSED my lab UA!! UGH, what a stressful situation. So not worth the risk.

I hear ya there lol! Well glad it worked out!

Don't forget your first pee in the morning will always be the most toxic, I guess that's the way to put it. But anyway yeah your first pee when you wake up would show stronger levels of ANYTHING compared to in the afternoon.

Glad all worked out for ya!

Thanks Ash. I think with all the generations of addiction in my family I really need to keep myself in check. Very hard sometimes. Time to get really honest with myself and stop playing games with myself and with the clinic. If I don't have to be accountable I won't be. What a weak downer feeling that is.
