Testing Positive For One Benzodiazepine While Taking A Different

I take xanax and restoril, I tested positive for something called oxazepam along with the others, I took the others, what the heck??? I was also told I tested too high for my duragesic, but found on their site proof that my nefazadone will cause an increase in levels, so not worried. But this was a test that gave levels, you'd think it would be more accurate. I am told that the resoril (temazepam) can cause this positive becasuse it is so similar., BTW, doc never questioned or cared, but I'm in a program making a big deal over this, and I could be in big trouble. where can I get info about benzos causing other positives, and it was a very low only 100 over the allowed, grrrrr.

It's generally not the substances themselves, but rather the quality of the test that is used. The cheaper, non-certified tests can give false positives anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

So, you might want to do a google search about false positives on drug tests.

The site I've found to have the most accurate and regularly updated public information is askdocweb.com/falsepositives.
