Suboxone Urine Test Positive For Benzo's

Updated

I have been on Suboxone for 4 months. The first month I tested positive for benzos because I went to the hospital with really bad Vertigo. The Dr. on duty gave me Valium in an iv, for the dizziness, even through I told him I was on Suboxone. He assured me it was fine so I trusted him. I tested positive at my doc the next 2 urine tests. I told him what had happened and he told me it was bad blah blah. I get it. My next test was clean. Today I went in and tested positive for benzos again! I was baffled. I swear on the Bible I had taken no benzos of any kind. The reason I'm on Suboxone isn't because of benzos in the first place. I only take the Suboxone and vitamins my Dr. prescribes. He was mad and said he was going to cut me off the program. I went through all my meds and found one thing, Valerian Extract. He gave me these Sleep Easy pills (all natural) to help with sleep. I've been taking 2pills a night 1000 mgs every night for two weeks. I read up on it and found out that it can cause a positive result. I'm mad, I can't even trust my Dr. It has to be that I think. Right? I haven't taken anything else. I'm going to call him tomorrow.

Certain OTC medications can make you test positive for benzos. I'll find the link.

If he had an issue with believing the hospital gave you something tell him to get a release of information from you and that's easily verified! ! He should know that !!

There are certain substances that can give false positive result during a drug test. Medications that contain benzodiazepines include Alprazolam, Ativan, and Chinese herb pills. Among the substance that causes false positives for benzodiazepines are Anxitol, Bactrim, and Benadryl.

One more thing,

A friend of mine is a patient at the same clinic I go to. Two months ago he told me he went in for his appt, peed in his cup and all was well. Until his doctor asks how lomg he's been self medicating with benzos. He's never done benzos at all and got pretty defensive, made a scene etc.

Turns out the SECURITY GUARD who does the testing got his screen switched with someone elses.

They make mistakes too!!

Good luck with that. Doctors have been fooled by patients with drug issues and they just don't want to be on the hook. They figure hey this was their problem and its showing up twice now, I don't have any faith in my patient. I don't know if informing him that you were taking the valerian will help or not. But if he suggested it, it should be in your records.

Gryfinn32, I'm on suboxone and tapering off benzo through point of return. It's a very slow tapering process. No withdrawal symptoms but there is a list a mile long. Many over the counter sleep aids such as valerian root and others will affect levels and readings. Tell your dr to look up point of return. You'll find out why you're testing pos if u really aren't on benzo. The suboxone has saved my life coming off 5 yrs of pain meds and tapering off benzo. I was suicidal and suboxone was a gift from God, but use it to get off other junk or truly trying to feel normal, not feel high. Good recovery and God bless everyone fighting (surrendering) to this brutal disease.
