(Newest replies first)

I have been testing positive for benzos and i cant figure out why. I have been taking suboxone & Ondansetron & promethazine. Thats it. If i fail another drug test, then my doctor is gonna kick me out. If anybody knows of any common substances, prescription or over the counter medications please inform me. Thanks

I have been taking hydrocodone 7.5-325 for many years. Different manufactures I end up with have different looking pills. Every refill I need to do a possible urine test under my pain contract and this time I came up positive for benzodiazepine (diazepam) along with the hydrocodone. The only medications I take are the hydrocodone and levothyroxine. What could’ve caused the other medication to turn up in my system when I haven’t taken anything else? The only anxiety medication I’ve taken in previous weeks was two hydroxyzine HCL 25 mg tablets. On this batch of hydrocodone I cannot find any images that match these pills. They're oval and white and on one side they say M366. The manufacturer says MALLI. I hope you can help me because now I’m scared to take any of my medication knowing that the hydrocodone and the benzodiazepine can cause strokes. I am 58 years old and a bit worried.

I took a drug test and was positive for benzodiazepine but I take Meloxicam, Benadryl, Tylenol Pm, Aleve pm, and Ibuprofen pm. Not at the same time, I alternate at night. Is Mobic a benzo?

I am on venlafaxine for my anxiety, but I'm recovering from drugs as well, so I have to go and have urine tests and benzodiazepines keep showing up in it. I only take the venlafaxine and my subutex. So why are benzodiazepines showing up? Is effexor a benzo?

I was prescribed Valium in June + July and tested for it in September and October. I take Clonazepam 1 mg daily but not Valium. She is telling me (the Dr) that Valium is showing up. I have no idea how?

I'm in a methadone clinic and I have been sober for ten years. I never took benzos but just had a positive UA and the day before, I took tramadol, benadryl, ambien, quetiapine, protonix, prazosin, motrin and meclizine. I did not take any benzo and I'm trying to figure it out as to not have it happen again.

I have heard that Sertraline (generic Zoloft) can cause false positives for benzos. Also the use of NSAID drugs can.

I took a urine test and it came back showing I had benzodiazepine in my system. Would Zofran cause a false positive for this or methadone? And would I have to tell them that I was taking Zofran and had it in my system?

Can Lexapro test positive for a benzodiazepine in a urine drug test? I completed a urine test today for work and came back positive for benzos. The only other medication I take is Arava and Coveram. What has caused this?

Re: Rick G (# 229)

I did a bit of research, and benadryl CAN cause a false positive for benzodiazapans! I take Benadryl at night to sleep as well. The only other meds I take are BP meds and Vicodin for pain. It must be true!

I was in the ER on June 27th and they prescribed me diazepam 5 mg. I took them and finished most of the prescription. My last dose was July 7th. I had a urine test at my pain management office... They told me my urine showed a positive result for diazepam, and that they are giving me a second chance! I haven't taken any since July. Is it still possible it can show a positive result in September? I've been reading some bad reviews about my center and people have said they were blamed for other meds being present in their urine, and they don't use them!

I tested positive for Xanax, and have lung/brain cancer. I take Keppra, Tarceva (chemo pill), and Temazepam. Have not taken anything but Zanaflex for sleep issues and Prednisone for inflammation on my brain. What caused a false positive for Xanax?

I am on 10mgs of Methadone 4x's a day. I go to a pain clinic and am tested on a regular basis. The last time they told me I tested positive for Klonopin which there is no way that can happen. I have never taken the stuff and I have no access to it. I also take Gabapentin, Prozac, Benadryl and Ibuprofen. How can a false positive happen? The Dr. said if it happens again I am no longer their patient and will no longer write me a script for Methadone. What can a person do to prove they never took a drug? It's like you are a dirty, untrustworthy person. Please help.

I was going monthly to a pain clinic for my pain medications. They ran a urine toxicology test each month-sometimes at their office and sometimes the specimen was sent out to a lab for more detailed testing. Last month I was told that my urine was specifically positive for Clonazepam. I have never taken a Clonazepam. I was told that the only way it would have a positive result would be that I had taken the drug. I do take Alprazolam and other medications, but not Clonazepam. I asked if the result could be due to another medication or combination of them? Or possibly even just human error? The doctor said no. Please help me with this. Contact me for more info if you wish. I did not take that medication and I was discharged from their clinic.

Have you tried the process of elimination?
If time is a factor, they can tell when something is dissipating in your system.
Good luck,
Im facing something similar myself

Artificial sweeteners have been said to cause false positives, but there's not too much scientific proof out there to positively say it would.
I would just chill, as long as you know you did nothing wrong, then you'll be just fine. Best of luck!
