I Was Tested For Drugs By Cps And Do Not Do Drugs They Said My Test Came Back Positive Take Any Medication Except Insulin Only When Fee
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I was tested by cps for drugs. I was told , yet shown no evidence that I tested positive for methamphetimine. I had a few needles laying out as I take diabetes insulin.
Other than that I do not take anything but asperin.
Then in conversation with the crisis line I found out nyquil,vicks inhaler, and eyedrops for algeries...which I didn't consider drugs and zyrtec..which I had taken weeks before could have caused the false positive.
How do I get help with this?

It is a false positive and you are fine.... they have to take diabetes into consideration and insulin. These tests can have many faults and yours is one of them. You will be fine. An attorney will help.

Wow very judgemental when u don't even know the person. I've had CPS called on me twice once by neighbors who couldn't tolerate my son crying from being colic after I stopped breastfeeding him. Then again when he was 5 when I felt Ill going to get him the teacher asked me to sit since they know I have epilepsy and they called an EMT just in case but they showed up at my door later that night and showed them my locked medicine cabinet and gave them my neurologist name and numbers they gave me a test that day and we're off my back,but it's annoying when ur a good parent being bothered for no reason. A week later 2 boys were killed in Manhattan by a bad mother and a mother's boyfriend and they were being investigated.one thing with CPS is they take their sweet time and unfortunately it comes too late for some kids.when I was involved with them the 2nd time I had to call them and Chase them they didn't even leave a card!

To ok girl about Sue, being quite judgmental aren't you? Read my posts I sent her! I refuse to sit in judgement of a parent wronged by a flawed system followed up by a flawed judicial system. When you read my post, think about my child, who's life was ruined by the dcs. Just because someone falsely reports someone they don't like or maybe you had a dirty dish in your sink, they don't need a reason, it goes to court and your child is taken. 48 hrs later u go to court with likely a public defender that isn't up to speed let alone is in bed with every other lawyer, court official, on both sides. In the child's best interests! They first MUST have probable cause for a criminal investigation, forget taking her kid maybe. My case had nothing to do with any drugs, but at the end, they got a hold of my doctor records somehow and wanted to know what I was PRESCRIBED. They didn't have the right, and my lawyer silenced them, as she technically already won my case. The dcs are bottom feeders. They will do anything to enhance state funding and federal funding to keep their lousy jobs. Most of them aren't parents themselves and are career *****S! So I'm going to ask you again since I fought the case as a self lawyer prose also, what gives you the right to condemn this woman stating she wanted to feel high when the test probably wasn't legitimate and to boot stating that she was less then a proper person due to dcs involvement!!; Really!! Do you have children? What if the shoe was on the other foot, you'd lose your attitude!

AMEN I just wrote a message to her about dcs and cps and illegal drug tests, that has to be done via a CRIMINAL ACCUSATION BY COURT ORDER AS WELL not by request threateming a parent.

This is a subject dear to my HEART SO PLEASE LISTEN. I WON A 5 YR CPS case to get my son back, non drug related. At the end of the case when my last of 5 lawyers was orgaining my child's return (who was moved 18x by state of indiana and doped up)by cps/dcs, I was asked by cps what kind of meds was I prescribed at the time? Oh boy they wanted me drug tested and all, my lawyer told them I was under a doctor's care and the pain doc wrote me a letter to the lawyer stating that non of my meds prevented me from being a mother!! The lost I won, I hadn't seen my son from age 7 to 12 he's now 14 I've suffered. DO NOT AGREE TO ANY TEST OR SEARCH OR SEISURE EVER! GET A LAWYER, A GOOD ONE, and maybe you eont go thru what I did!!

I tend to agree with you about the CPS. I was wondering about that too. And I've used the vicks vapors for eons and eons and I've not once failed a drug test ever! !! I liked your Crack about " u tested positive because you got high.! ! Lmfao. .altho an awful lot of people are claiming it's happened to them. Baffles me as well. But sooo many others are saying the same thing that I can't help but wonder. I mean they can't all be lieing. Or are they? What do I know. Although I work with blood blood and nothing but blood. But really though. She might be actually telling the truth. And maybe not :(

That's no longer true. Tests are more sophisticated now. Nothing tests positive for methamphetamine except methamphetamine. Not being judgmental at all. Obviously you've had issues to have CPS involved in your life. You can't justify having the positive result. It's positive because you got high. It's a good time to be honest with yourself

The Vicksburg vapor nose inhaler u can buy at any pharmacy has 1 active ingredient which will show a false positive for methamphetamine.it happened to me. Good luck with d.c.s there a**holes wasting time on good parents while kids are being beat and abused and if they were doing there job they would be protecting kids not harassing parents wasting time &$

Vicks Inhalers contain an l-methamphetamine. Using enough of it can cause a positive screen for amphetmine. If confirmed by GC/MS or LC/MS/MS as David suggests, it will confirm as methamphetamine in most cases....... depending on the cutoff the lab is using. It can be differentiated from "street meth" by performing a d/l isomer breakdown.

I believe that zyrtec can also cause a false positive screen for amphetamine - more often for methamphetamine if they are using those instant tests in the office for instance. That will not be confirmed by GC/MS or LC/MS/MS because there is actually no amp or methamp in that drug.

Hi sue,

I have to agree that the number of medications or substances responsible for causing false-positives are quite staggering, considering that they have the technology to identify the exact substances in question, but prefer to use cheaper methods for standard drug tests.

At this point in time, the best advice I can offer is that you try to dispute your case by getting re-tested with a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer. This method has the ability to distinguish the exact substance in question, but is not initially performed because of cost. However, it is often a follow-up option for those facing serious consequences such as a job loss or jail time. I think companies who don't use this method right off the bat are just too scared to spend a little extra money for the right results.

Hopefully this will change in time as they realize the statistics showing how many people this happens to on a daily basis. These false reports just put too much stress on patients who are simply taking their medications as prescribed.
