No, neither Imitrex, nor the generic Sumatriptan are listed as being known to cause false positives for Benzodiazepines.
Learn more Imitrex details here.
Were you taking anything else, even over the counter products?

My boyfriend is going through the same situation. He went for a first time appt. at a so called psychiatrist/recently certified soboxone doctor. (Her name is Soraya Z. Radfar MD & I strongly suggest NEVER going there...she is unprofessional, rude, dismissive, condecending & refuses to take any responsibility for her irresponsible actions.) Anyways, somehow when he took his drug screen he came up dirty for benzodiazepine. We can't comprehend this cuz obviously he doesn't take any type of benzo. But he does take imitrex for frequent migraines. If he could have gotten an answer from this terrible doctor on the specific type of benzo she's saying showed up in his urine then we could narrow things down more, but this woman would not tell him any details besides that it's not anything like zanax or kolonopin but "some strange type of benzodiazepine." Like sure lady, that really narrows it down a lot! We were so surprised to see that others have had a similar, if not exact, experience like this. If anyone has anymore info on this topic then please post a link or anything u may know on the topic. Oh & I must stress again, NEVER GO TO THIS DOCTOR! She is not a helper, she's a hindrance...and in my opinion, any psychiatrist knows that u don't treat an ex addict the way she did. She called him a liar, had no interest in him as a patient or an individual in need of help (which is the definition of a psychiatrist & suboxone doctor...IT'S TO HELP!!) She also interrupted & yelled over him while rolling her eyes constantly towards the things she did allow him to say...THEN, as he was walking out she had the nerve to tell him, "Anyone that u may know that needs suboxone treatment, let them know that I have many openings." I plan on posting a review on her services asap, but I still need more info on whether the imitrex could have effected the drug test. Thank you for reading and letting me vent. Please respond only if u have anything relevant to say.

I'm on suboxone and imitrex as well. My drug screens keep coming up positive for methadone, benzos, and tricyclic meds (anti-depression meds). In my research, I have painfully learned that any antihistamine, such as benadryl, dramamine, etc, will give a false positive for methadone. I've never taken methadone before, yet they didn't believe me until I showed them the article I found online. Naproxen can give a false positive for benzos. I take naproxen or ibuprofen all the time along with imitrex for my migraines. I took one flexeril three days before my drug screening, told them about it even as well as my therapist, and I found out that it can cause a false positive for tricyclic meds. So here I am, clean as a whistle, (otherwise, why in the world would I go in there every month thinking I could fool a drug test) and I pop positive on three drugs that I'm not even taking. Therefore, they have to send me to an outside lab to get further screening. Of course, I have to pay out of pocket because insurance doesn't cover it. It's almost not worth the suboxone rx. It was easier just being addicted to pain pills...

Sumatriptin is a tryptamine molecularly similar to psilocybin (the psychoactive compound found in shrooms.) I feel it may be possible to bring a false positive for that. Although I dont know how common testing for psilocybin is, r do I know why its showing up as a benzodiazepine. Thats wild.

Thank you for your response! I will definitely be more careful and not take anything for a week before my drug screens. Apparently, even over the counter meds aren't safe!

I recently tested positive for cocaine. I have never touched a drug in my life. I live with chronic migraines. They have me taking maxalt, the fentanyl patch, klonopin, and zoloft. I have never had a positive drug test (except for opioids due to the patch). Recently they have me taking the Imitrex Injections that I administer to myself. This is the only thing that has changed. I did the Imitrex and the next night I was in the ER due to another migraine. That is when I tested positive for cocaine. Anybody else have any issues like this?

I recently was " flagged" after my saliva drug screen that I requested when I was asked for a routine urine drug screen. I have Multiple Sclerosis so peeing doesn't come easily for me...I have waited hours in the past just to pee....anyway I was told I tested >8 for Buprenorphine. What the heck is that was the first comment. I was told I had to have specifically have taken a pill like suboxone or someone could have tampered with my meds. I'm 53 and live with my 73 y/of mother so that's not possible.
I have always taken sinus meds either Claritin, or Sudafed but had recently tried Zyrtec without any relief.. so I was prescribed Flonase told to just benadryl or the Sudafed as needed.
I'm researching and trying to educate myself but feel like I was shamed over something I have never done. I understand the state gives physicians laws but if other meds cause false positives where does that leave us who are being truthful?
Oh, I had also had rotator cuff surgery 3 weeks prior to this screening. Is it possible anything I was given during surgery would have caused this?
Just retracing my steps and procedures. Aggravated and confused because after 8 years with Pain Management I could be fired and don't know how to stand up for myself at this point.
Thanks in advance for any input or links to read on.

Umm... Yes it does...I use to take imitrex and showed positive for benzos one week didn't take it and 4 days later no benzos... Took it again and positive for benzos. I showed my prescription to the Suboxone Dr and further research shows it causes false positive. Certain over the counter allergy meds as well cause false positive for benzos... There's a long list of meds that cause false positives for other drugs... Prozac depending on dosage can cause false positive for PCP... WHHHOOOOOO the hell uses PCP nowadays.. Lmfao

I had gone drug test for a new job that showed up positive for opiods.. I dont do anything for pain, my body doesn't hold up to that.
