The Xanax itself can continue to show up on a urine test for 6 weeks, after you have stopped taking it, though the exact time can vary slightly, depending on how long you were taking it and how much you were taking.

And the Librium can also cause a positive test for Benzodiazepines.

But no, the Laxapro is not known to cause false positives, but the fact that you were taking the Xanax and then used Librium may explain the problem.
Are there any other questions or comments?
I was add 6 milligrams of xanax a day for 3 years. I took about 9 milligrams of xanax a day for 3 years. It only took me 14 days to get it out of my system. they say the older you are the longer it takes to get out of your system. so if you were over 40 it is possible that I can take up to 6 weeks. I know I've had many seizures coming off of xanax so it is dangerous so be careful
I tested positive for benzodiazepines in a UA toxicology screening ... I DO NOT AND HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY!! I am currently taking 1 lexapro 20 mg - hydrocodone (3-4)10/325 -(3) baclofen 10mg -(3) gabapentin 300mg and (1) trazadone 100 mg DAILY ... Why would I test positive????
Surprised you didn't show positive for opiates because the 10/325 are a opiate
Gaba onetime hits your GABA receptors, which acts in a mildly similar way as benzos do. That could explain!
I've been taking Xanax for 3yrs.an they just took me off an put me on lexapro my main concern is what kind of effects I will have from them taking me off I especially worry about seizures
I just started taking lexapro only 2 weeks ago. Today I showed a trace of Benzos in my urine test (5panel). I do not take any other drugs and have not taken anything else. The only thing that could've caused the Benzos trace is the lexipro
Librium is a benzodiazapine.. so it does not make sense to be detoxing off xanex with another benzodiazapine.
I'm taking synthorid for my thyroids doctor prescribes me benzos I was wondering if synthorid would show up as a benzos.
That wasn't the question?. She asked about bento's not opiodes
I can't imagine Lexapro would show as a benzo because it's not in that class of drug. I've been on Lexapro over 10 years and a pain patient for 7 years. In the state I live in, benzos are not allowed to be prescribed anymore to patients, like myself that take pain medication. I am very regularly drug tested and haven't ever had a false positive.
Re: Verwon (# 1)
Can Xanax cause seizures even after one has tapered off them? My son took Xanax several times a week for insomnia/anxiety for about 4 months, then tapered off them with a physician's help. About a month or maybe two after he quit taking them, he had a seizure, but he was also chronically exhausted from the insomnia. Then five months later he took one dose of xanax and about 1 month later he had another seizure. We are trying to determine the cause of his seizures. If it can cause seizures that far out from withdrawal, how long can it cause seizures? If it can't, then we need to figure out what else is going on.

How long after you quit taking Xanax did you have seizures? Did you finally quit having the seizures?
