False Positive On Hair Follicle Drug Test For Methamphetamines (Page 2) (Top voted first)

sean in cwater Says:
I have custody of my two oldest children and their mother has a problem with methamphetamines. I know this for a fact because that's why we separated, but she is claiming that the positive hair follicles that she has taken and failed are all because of her asthma medicine. Are there any asthma medications that cause a false positive on both methamphetamines and amphetamines on a hair follicle test??

My boyfriend has been clean from all drugs and alcohol for five years now and just failed hair follicle test at work. I'm still an active user. How could my usage affect his hair follicle test?

I agree! I quit my $55 k a yr job to work from home making hair bows and little childrens clothing. I did this so I could spend more time with my girls and then this happened.. no signs of abuse or neglect at first Cps was telling me I needed 30-90 days of in patient rehab! That's nuts! First of all I'm not an addict I'm in the middle of remodeling a new tome home and starting up a small business. This is whole situation is about to break me!

It took 11 months for the meth to come out of my hair test after I stopped using. I used to smoke it. I wonder if I had shot it up if it would have come out of my hair immediately after I stopped. Maybe it was still in my lungs for 11 months. I don't know. But I lost my kids. No one believed I'd stopped. It's been a year and a half I've had my life back. But my kids are gone.

A hair follicle test showed I tested positive for THC. I don't do drugs. I take ibuprofen several times a week for constant head aches and nasonex. Both I read can cause false positives. A long with that I take over the counter sleep aids nightly. The day i got fired I had another test done and it came back negative. Employer didn't care about second test. So I had their sample retested. Came back positive again. Mine and their test was only six days apart. I'm left scratching my head on how this has happened.

If both parents fail a hair folicle test, whats a judge going to do then? Lets say the father has not been involved in the childs life for 11 years and then he seeks visitations like a perv but both are current users. Would they put the child in foster care?

I had a hair follicle test done after I took a small amount of methamphetamine. Then I found out I got to retake it. How can I make sure levels are low?

I was smoking meth regularly, and stopped so I wouldn't lose my kids. I kept having hair tests and the levels were dropping, but I lost my kids anyway. The "experts" concluded I was still using. It took 11 months to get a clean hair test after I stopped using. Meanwhile, I've lost my kids. They won't even speak to me. Thanks a lot "experts". You've destroyed 3 lives with your interpretation of results.

I had cps come and request hair follicle tests for me, my husband and my 1 yr old daughter due to testing positive threw out my pregnancy for Methamphetamine. I did a shot 2 weeks before my due date with my now 2 month old. My hair came out negative for everything and my 1 yr old daughters came out positive for Methamphetamine. She has never ever been around it and I've made great sure of that. Is it possible for the lab to have gotten our hair mixed up??? I did not see the man seal our hair in the foil individually and place them in the bags with the correct seals. He had all 3 of our samples lined up on his desk. So im retesting myself and my daughter if that was the case is it possible to sue? My well being has been off the wall with cps harassing and having counseling every week mandatory 2 hrs each session plus dealing with post partum. Can I get advice? I feel the labs and as well as cps should hear the trauma they have caused me and my family..

How old is your youngest? Did you do methamphetamine, shoot up or otherwise, while you was preg with her, maybe even before you found out? I am so frustrated tht ppl think automatically you are not a good parent if you have a prob.

Guilty,guilty???? NOT! It was a false positive from using over the counter meds, proven by additional test on the same hair tested. Some people.

The reason your tests still come back as Positive for Methamphetamine, is because of the amount of time you did it for, and the amount you were using. It is still possible for it to still be in your system, even months after you quit. Same happened to me, and still is. I just had another test done, and got the results today. I passed my urine test, and failed my hair follicle. I stumbled upon this site, because I was searching to see if the meds I'm on, will cause false positives for Methamphetamines and cocaine.
