Phentermine will cause a positive for amphetamines
I just started taking Jet Alert because I work 6p-6a and was wondering if it would show a false positive on a drug test?
I have taken a 15 panel home drug screen and it's giving false positive I take Vistaril Geodon Acyclovir loratadine montelukast Protonix voriconazole and have taken Sudafed what should these come up as on a home drug screen
Re: steven dixon (# 6)
I am not familiar with a lot of the medications you listed. However I do take gabapentin and I have taken amitriptyline and the 1800 mg of Gabapentin is way too much That could absolutely be causing some of those symptoms. Also I think the amitriptyline could
Re: steven dixon (# 6)
Yes, alot of the drugs you mentioned cause false positives. However if the lab knew of these meds they would of done more in-depth testing.

That's not the card with me..I have to do a random urine drug test once a month and I recently ( past 3 months) been put on thyroid medicine..the past 3 random urine tests have showed (false) positive for methamphetamine! So taking Benadryl, Tylenol PM, Advil PM, Ranitidine and Trazadone long with Thyroid meds has caused the false positive. Before taking thyroid medicine I have NEVER had one bad test result in the 4 years of doing the required random testing.

I would normally agree, as Everytime I failed a drug test I used. I have been clean from illegal street drugs for over 3 years! I am however prescribed Adderall and I take zantac and much is the case with many others here, I tested positive for methamphetamine! I'm from Jersey and that is not a drug you can find unless you are a biker! My employer and personal physician agree with me and as long as I produce the necessary documents for the amphetamine, I will be fine.

Depends how "briefly" you mean. It can soak in through your skin or even vapors in the air can get into your system. That's why the DEA will dress up like astronauts when busting a lab. Methamphetamine is a crystal substance that when made and even smoked is turned into a vapor and that vapor can get into your system. Now if you were just touching a crystal to look at it then depending on conditions it would enter your system. We're you sweating? How long were you touching it?
