Can certain over the counter medications or prescription medications cause a false positive for Methamphetamine in a blood test?

REPORT

I had to do a pre-employment eCup/eScreen for Wal-Mart, however the walk-in clinic I had to go to DID NOT have me fill out anything stating any medications I use. I regularly use Sudafed 12 hour, Aleve, Albuterol inhaler, Albuterol/Ipratropium neb solution, Advair, and occasionally a combievent inhaler. Will any of these cause me to fail the test?

I tested positive for meth and my doctor sent me certified letter saying that she will see me one . More time and after that I will be dismissed from that office. I only take what she prescribes to me. Although I've been sick with the flu and sinus infections and head colds that I can't seem to get rid of. I do take ranitidine for my stomach, hydrocodone for pain, klonopin for anxiety and nerves, gabapentin for nerve pain, singular for breathing, ventolin inhaler, feurocets for my headaches. Also she has pre s cribbed me a Zpack antibiotics and ranitidine for my flu like symptoms. The only thing I've taken that was not prescribed is a Vicks inhaler, cold cough and congestion pills, Nyquil caps, and I do take mini thins and 5 he energy shots and stickers. I've never touched meth or anything related to it. The only reason I take mini thins is to help lose weight the attackers before I go work to give me a little energy. Can someone please help me prove this to my doctor!!

There definitely were no follow up tests. I was tested by my pain management Dr. He dismissed me from the practice with a letter, 2 weeks after the test. (saliva)

Just recently I was in the hospital and was told I had Methamphetamine, Heroin, and cocaine in my system. I had not taken any of these drugs. I lost my son and and this has caused so much heartache and depression. There has to be a way to tell the difference.

I go to a pain clinic and now twice I have come up positive for methamphetamine. I don't even know what that is ? I have never done drugs in all my life except the ones that are prescribed to me...I take equatro, ziprasidone,lexapro,clonazapam,ranitidine,metoclopromide and oxycodone and morphine...What on earth would cause a positive for this?

I also take ranitidine and also came up positive for methamphetamine on my drug screen test..I have never done drugs in all my life. My doctor says it's cocaine or speed and then asks me if I take marijuana. I told him no sir then proceeded to worry because I do not take anything that isn't prescribed to me. I don't know what to do but I am gonna share this bit of info with my doctor so thank u. One thing I don't understand is that I have been taking the same meds for a long time and I have never since I have been going to the pain clinic have ever tested positive for methamphetamine. I don't get it I have always taken the same stuff but am just now coming up positive for this stuff... I personally don't get it but I wish u the best of luck. I hope I have a blood test done to prove that I'm not a druggy! I will not and have never taken methamphetamine!

Well I finally got a copy of my labs from my Dr. who dropped me for testing pos. for methamphetamine. The test was a LC/MS/MS. It shows a confirmed for methamphetamine and d-methamphetamine. (?) The level for the methamphetamine was 2.20 ml with a cutoff of 2. The d-methamphetamine was 99% with a cutoff of 20%. NOW, in the remarks, it states that the pos. for both could be an illicit, OR, an OTC such as a Vicks inhaler. As I stated in my original post that started this thread, I have been using an OTC nasal spray for years! I am not someone on this site trying to beat a drug test, I am a retired cop with severe diabetic neuropathy. This Dr gave me a morphine pump implant that gave me relief like I haven't had in 20 yrs!!! Then 2 weeks after the surgery I test pos. for methamphetamine! It has been at least 20 years since I have even SEEN methamphetamine!! Now I am black balled in north Texas cause no other Dr. will take me with a pos. test. WHAT THE F*** DO I DO WHEN IT RUNS DRY IN 4 MONTHS??

I'm not sure if the drugs you mentioned will cause a false positive for meth or anything else hopefully the doctor (Dr John) who visits this forum frequently will see your post in time an provide you with better information but I do know for a fact that zantac aka ranitidine will definitely give you a false positive for meth an I think most other heartburn medicines will give false positives as well besides like tums or something but just don't take anything for heartburn whether it's prescription or over the counter sorry I couldn't answer all your questions but good luck on your test.

They sent my drug test to the lab and it came back as 217mgs of morphine and all I did was eat poppy seed bagels. I don't understand how they couldn't tell! I actually went to jail for it.
