False Positive On Drug Test For Cocaine (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

I took a hair follicle test and it came up positive for cocaine. I have never used drugs in my life. I have a kidney infection and I have been having trouble with my kidney all my life on and off. I was taking Ampicillin 500mg and Metronidazole 500 mg and Eugenol. I am going to court concerning my kids and I can't lose them for drugs when I never took them before. Please help me. Thank you.

I tested positive for cocaine, but don't do the stuff. Waiting for a second sample to be tested so I'm not sure yet what the result is. I have a stage 2 kidney problem and take ADHD meds. What can cause a false positive?

I took one 5/325 Percocet and Tylenol and one 500mg Ibuprofen. Can that make me have a false positive for cocaine?

I’ve never done drugs in my life either and I tested positive for cocaine. The company is called Psychemedics. They have a history of false positives so I went to a different drug testing company and they found nothing. Unfortunately the employer only used Psychemedics and retracted the job offer. Psychemedics is extremely shady! Beware! I tried talking to a lawyer but the cost of hiring experts would’ve been too expensive for the case.

I wanted to share my story with everyone. Since 2002 I work in a career field that requires random drug testing. In 2004 due to nearly 40 lb weight gain I was placed on Diovan for blood pressure. A few months later the doctor changed it to Lisinopril because of frequent urination on Diovan. Within 11 months my hair came out - at that time I had no idea what was causing it. 2006 I discovered it was the medication. I want my hair to grow back longer so my sister discovered MTG which stands for Mane tail groom. It was on a black hair discussion board. The major complaints of the product was its smell. It grows hair super fast, almost overnight. At that time on their website is stated it's good for humans although is marketed for horses. So I started using it early in 2006. I don't like taking vitamins so I always preferred MTG. I dealt with the smell but I still love its growth. In 2012 I got hired by a company that required a hair and urine drug test a few days later I got a call from the company they advised me that my urine was negative but my hair was positive for cocaine. I've never done drugs a day in my life, like I said I've been drug testing since 2002. It's the career I chose and I would never do anything to jeopardize it. At that time I simply labeled it as they got me mistaken with someone else, no possible way. Fast forward May 2017 I decided out of curiosity to see if that was true from 5 yrs ago. I paid $70 for a follicle test..it said positive for cocaine - I was blown away. I saved up money and went to a different lab in aug. Once again it said cocaine. It showed how much. On sept 16th I got my toe nails tested because it goes back a year. A few days later my nail results came back as negative. My last result is to test mtg to see why it's causing a false positive in my hair. I've searched all over the internet. I believe im the only person to ever take a follicle test while using it on my hair so I got proof on my test. This goes out to all the people that are so quick to comment - IF COCAINE'S IN YOUR HAIR FOLLICLE YOU'VE BEEN EXPOSED. I have some proof that's not true. Please be careful of what hair products you're using...you truly don't know what's in it.

I have been with the same pain management doctor for 7 yrs and last week my drug screen came back positive for cocaine. I have NEVER used that drug so I am really really curious as to why? I am 44 and I have taken amoxicillin and a topical spray which contains benzocaine, and I am also diabetic. Could either of the 3 be the reason for a positive cocaine result?

Hello,

My brother recently failed a urine test for cocaine and gave a reading for benzoylecgonine of 930, is this high? He's devastated because he denies ever using the drug and he's been suspended from work.

He's been taking prescribed Dihydrocodeine and Valium because he's awaiting a knee replacement. Could these medicines give a false positive for cocaine?

Thanks

I don't smoke and never ever could. I did not pass a drug test and lost my job behind this, but I'm gonna prove them wrong. I have no clue why it would be testing positive for cocaine and can't even tell you how it looks besides what I see on tv. I need answers!!!

I'm currently taking Wellbutrin XL and Buspirone Hydrochloride. Recently I consumed marijuana and also got drunk. The next day, when I went home, I took a lot of PM Pain Relief medicine and Hydroxyzine Hydrochloride. I went to the ER that night and had to give a urine sample. When I talked to a doctor that I was seeing, he told me that I tested positive for cocaine and I've never done it before. It wasn't laced in the marijuana because all of the people I was with got tested too and they didn't have cocaine in their system and they were smoking the same thing. I just want to know if it's possible that the medicine I'm on caused a false positive test result. I don't think that there's any way that I could've had it in my system if none of them did and we all did the exact same things.

I am a 57 year old female. Last july I got c-diff. I was a very strong healthy woman, but it tore me down big time. I've been in the hospital 4 more times. 3 times on the cardiac unit and I just got out again for c-diff. I'm coming back but we caught it before it got bad. I fell the 1st of may and deviated my septum. My sinuses were so infected and had migraine headaches so he put me on amoxicillin antibiotics. The next month I went in to get surgery and there was so much infection he scraped my sinuses and wasn't comfortable doing the surgery because the infection was so bad. So more antibiotics were given. That's what caused the c-diff to come back. They put me on metronidazole 500 mg and before that amoxicillin. I'm on probation for driving on a suspended license and the day after my surgery went for drug assessment and tested positive for cocaine. I live with my 84 year old mother fighting extremely high blood pressure. I'm not being violated for their mistake. I told them I took a xanax because my head was hurting so bad and it didn't even show up. I'm going to my surgeon, primary care, and pharmacy and getting all the information I can on false readings and I came across this site. You know the good lord is blessing you for helping people that have no one else to turn to, you know the ones out there. Science is never wrong or guilty!!! Thank you for caring and listening. You're giving hope to those that are very afraid and innocent. I know that because I am. Thank you.

I just had a baby and tested positive for cocaine on a saliva drug screen and also do not use. I don't understand at all and even had 3 more tests and they also say positive. I don't know where to even start to figure this out. All I've taken is ibuprofen, aleve, advil and delsym cough syrup. I need help. I do have kidney problems and also liver problems but Idk again how to prove my innocence? I have hep c and hpv syndrome. I also have antibodies in my blood and wonder if this can cause the drug to take longer to break down?

I got a false positive for cocaine on a drug test at work. The ONLY thing I can think of is I had gotten a tattoo a few days earlier. I don't know the exact numbing agent they used - I'm trying to find out. From my research it's one of these 3: lidocaine, tetracaine, benzocaine. If these are pricked in literally hundreds of times, could it give a false positive? I'm considering a hair follicle test, but can those differentiate between cocaine and those other things?
