How is the test being performed? Immunoassay is not a definitive test, nor is the card tests. The only definitive test for any drug is GC/MS, LC/MS/MS and it is an expensive but well worth it test. It is the gold standard!!

hey Lilly did you say you take amphetamine salts? well any amphetamine can trigger a positive for meth like the dietary supplement adepex now I'm no big expert but when you mentioned you took amphetamines that kina stuck out like a sore thumb and what all are you being accused taking? is it just meth alone nothing else? if it is than you can have a blood analysis test specifically for meth the test is cheaper an will cost you around 115$/130$ but if they are testing for more than 1 illegal drug than yes that blood analysis will cost around 500$ but if I was you an knew I was 100% innocent I'd request a hair analysis it runs 75$/100% some states might cost a lil more and it testes for the 5 major illegal street drugs including meth an all amphetamines now the amphetamines you was prescribed will show up under amphetamines but you can clear yourself with proof of a prescription an the test will be able to distinguish meth from your prescription meds and that test goes back 90days vs the blood test only going back a few days so I think they would be more than satisfied with a hair test rather than blood test an it will save you $

I had an extensive blood test done by sheriffs office after a traffic stop, they tell me it I about a $500 test, it came back with my Perscription med lyrica and amphetamine salts, tramadol, these are all Perscriptions but it also said I was positive for a trace amount of meth which is valid in my state for DUI drugs. Any professional in here that could let me know I'd this type of extensive test can be challenged? I don't use meth and don't know where this came from?

Sooo why did you reply Dr? I've been part if this conversation for a while and no where have I seen anyone talk about this drug but you??? And if your Forensic Tox... what can cause False Positive for Meth? I've never seen Meth don't know one person who uses it.. I live on island 3 miles long with only 3000 people and no one here uses meth. Other drugs are problems like cocaine n crack but no one has brought Meth here... I eat Medical Marijuana and I was getting at the time 30mg MS Elson, Baclofen, gabbipenton, and my gramp give me off hydro morphine. well just after Xmas break the Dr said I tested positive for meth and I almost lost my meds... I'm single mother with no help at all and I suffer from severe fibromyalgia, disk degenerative disease, scoliosis and uneven hips... since Xmas I've been spending 4-5 days per week in bed. I have been on narcotic pain killers for soon to be 20 year this August. Im only 32 this Nov... I've tried everything under the sun to get relief without pain meds but it is the only thing that allows me to have regular life with my kids! I have hot/cold rubs creams bath 3-4 times in 12 hrs. My body cramps soo bad that I end up with golf ball like knots under skin and only way to get to stop is massage but the minute I touch it feels like someone stabbing me... then I get massive bruise and have this dull numbing ache for week while the pain moves starts somewhere else! it's very vicious cycle. I suffer more and worse then cousin with colon cancer. Mentally I'm exhausted and see specialist constantly. Do you have any suggestions for me?

The diphenhydramine may give a false positive on some "instant" tests, but when we further analyze the specimen using mass spectophtometry or LC/MS/MS/MS, there is no way to have diphenydramine be a false poisitve test, it would be negative..

Diphenhydramine does NOT contain any methamphetamine, or amphetamines. Please be accurate when you post nonsense. I happen to be a Forensic Toxicologist.

Don't think anyone's test for methodone unless it's been in your system at some point... there's pot, amphetamines, methamphetamine, opiates, cocaine... that's the mail 5 test in drs office. some do 7/11... it depends what your doctors looking for.. and if they do it in Dr office or lab would make difference... I've been tested for like 10-15 years and never tested for methodone...

To be honest I'm not really sure what OTC or prescription meds that would cause a false positive for methadone if you have gotten a false positive for that specific drug then I would do a lil research on the subject an see where it leads but if I'm not mistaken I think methadone would fall under the opiate category in a urine test for instance if you was to take a Percocet or a vicodin the Percocet is oxycodon and the vicodin is hydrocodone the urine test wouldn't be able to determine which one you took all it would. know is opiates was in your system now a more advanced test like blood and hair is able to distinguish the two but if you have never taken methadone and got a false positive for it then chances are the test you took was a regular urine test if thats the case then you probably need to look more into "what causes false positives for opiates" and see if anything simple that you have eaten or taken sticks out at you there is simple things like poppy seeds off a muffin or bagel that can give you a false positive for opiates

Over the counter zantac for heartburn aka ranitidine I know for a fact will cause you too test positive for meth and I'm sure there is more simple over the counter or prescription meds that will also cause you too test positive even though you have never touched the drug in your life an meth is the most common false positive what I would do if I was you is research everything you have taken and you should be able to figure out what's causing you too test positive that's what iv had too do I proved my innocence thru blood an hair not a trace of any drug came back the whole test was negative so that quickly debunked what they was trying to say I did zantac was my problem if ur taking that for heartburn then its more than likely ur problem too

sorry to hear the situation your in and the only suggestion I could give ya is try too find a new doctor that might understand your situation better and I wouldn't recommend taking anything illegally for your pain no matter who it comes from because over half those law people are heartless and could careless about your situation and then if you get caught with something your not prescribed it will cost a bunch of money turn into a big deal and you will have a mark on your record and will be cut off from your meds or worse so like I said your best bet is too try an find a new doctor an explain what's going on

Soo now the problem I'm having is my pain medication aren't lasting... switched off of the zantac so could try not to have false pos anymore... well that false post was on Jan 10 th... My dr said had to have few clean before we change/up my med.. well I've had 3 clean tests... I'm single mom with no support system.. had to take extra mess yesterday in order to get up n feed NY son...oh well call someone to help you was my Dr's response.. I said look if I don't have that Lil boy I have no reason to suffer n go thru that pain.. my gramp gave me hydromorph.. to get me thru.. they tried to cause huge problems cause of that.. I said my son's only thing that matters n I have been telling you since before Xmas break that I'm not getting 4-6 hours out of my 12 hour caps... I jumped thru every hoop n done everything he's asked and have yet to get any help.. I'm spending 3-4 days week in bed only getting up to feed my boy.. now seems like each time go in he's got some excuse to not change my mess. my quality of life is fading fast... I'd rather go thru labor twice in day then deal with the pain that I do... each test has been clean since..
Any suggestions?

I tried replying but my post is under review but bottom line on what I said is if you haven't abused your meds an haven't did any meth or did anything else other than what you was prescribed an the urine test comes back positive for meth and you know. for a fact its wrong then request a hair test if you are truly innocent then the hair test will be your best friend and bail you out of this situation easily but if you are guilty and you know you did something you wasn't supposed too do than the hair test can be your worst enemy an you would be far better off just dodging the hair test and just face the music head on cuz the hair test can tell them everything you have did in the last 90days an how often you did them so if your guilty u don't wanna give them that kind of insight you would more than likely get cut off from ur meds immediately but if u got nothing to hide than the hair test is the ticket an also tell them everything u have took or taking but hopefully ur urine test will come back fine an u won't have to consider a hair test not trying to scare u jus telln ya like it is hope this helps best of luck an god bless
