What Does Ambien Show Up As On A Drug Test (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

May 20-26 I was in the hospital taking Ambien, ativan and cymbalta. Once I left the hospital I took my ambien sparingly. The ativan even less and no cymbalta at all. However on June 16 I took 1/2 10MG of Ambien. I had a saliva drug test that next morning and it came back as THC, Amphedimines and opiates. How did this happen??

Zolpidem is the generic version of Ambien. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON A DRUG TEST as a Benzo or an Opiate. I am absolutely positive about this I have talked to several pharmacists directly. I was VERY confused. I purchased an at home drug test from a very well known pharmacy and right on the box in the Benzo category Ambien was listed. Neither Ambien or Lunesta were listed in the directions for the test. I called the 800 number on the box and the rep I talked to said it was a 'mistake'. That is a very bad 'mistake' for a company to put erroneous information like that on their products.

Ambien and Lunesta are very similar to Benzos but they are not benzos and do not show up on urine drug tests period unless specifically tested for. I have seen posts all over the place saying 'yes' and 'no'. I can say without a single shred of doubt the answer is NO! If you are worried about anything get a home test and use it. They are very accurate and easy to use. $20 - $40 is not much for peace of mind.

I had used Xanax for a while for anxiety and it does stay in your system for at least a week or longer depending on how much and how long you use it. Many of the other Benzos stay way longer. If you have a test coming and are worried about it stop taking them and test yourself first. I don't know if all the drinking and cleansing products work or not but I took a very low dose for a couple of months and it was still showing up after 8 days. I was not willing to take a chance on the drug test so after testing positive after 8 days of drinking plenty of water, juice, high fiber and all the other things recommended to clean out your system I just cheated. I had no idea if they were testing for it or not so that is what I did. I have been scared straight. I will learn to meditate from now on. In this economy no drug is worth risking your job for.

Depending on what you were the hospital for and any drugs they may have given you, especially if they were administered through an iv....I was in a really bad car accident and had a prescription for percocet and I wad randomly drug tested and because it was such a low dose and I only took them as needed I never tested positive for opiates but at an ER visit I was given morphine through an iv and then tested positive f

The brand name drugs you listed, Ambien, Ativan, Cymbalta, do not contain zolpidem, lorazepam, duloxetine. Those are the generic names. Ativan(lorazepam) is a benzodiazepine and will show up as such. I found this link because i was looking for info regarding Ambien, as i am subject to drug testing. I simply declare the prescription medicine I am on prior to the test. I have tried everything from melatonin to benadryl to chamomile, for insomnia. Only thing which works for me is Ambien. But I've heard of others who have had bad effects.

Some Excedrin products have been known to cause a false positive for THC and if the test picked that up, that means it probably wasn't very accurate, so the others probably also make sense.

Especially if you took one of the products containing Ibuprofen, it has been known to do that on many tests.

Have you tried requesting a new test?

The only other thing I can think of was the excedrine i took for a headache. I dont do drugs. And I dislike even taking over the counter stuff. I will be to the point of crying before I will take meds for a headache.

Ambien contains the active ingredient Zolpidem and neither it nor the Cymbalta, which contains Duloxetine, are substances tested for on those types of tests and they are also not known to cause false positives for anything else.

The Ativan contains Lorazepam, which is a Benzodiazepine and it is also not known to cause false positives.
