U just read that if you test pis for nuerontin on a stick test it could be the early onset stages of kidney disease or cardiovascular disease. I too go to the methadone clinic and after I jad my c section my drug screen came back pis for nuerontin and I don't take it at all so I'm like really confused as to why that would be in my urine. I don't know if any drugs they gave me in the hospital metabolize into it or what. Kinda lije how heroin turns into codeine then into morphine6. I'm just dumbfounded as to why gabapentin is in my system... but they changed the way they do drug testing. Its more detailed now and they test for levels of drugs because drugs stay in peoples systems for diff amts of time and this way they can see if the levels are going down. But ya I'm puzzled as to why gabapentin showed up

I'm on methadone and at the moment im being detoxed due to a positive benzo test. Since im being dropped down on my dose i've been taking neurotin (gagbapentin) to help with withdrawal, will this cause me to test positive for benzos? I see the doc Thursday so i would love to know if i can possibly show dirty for benzos due from taking neurotin. Plz help me, plz.

I am on probation. I do not and have not had anything in my system for 2 years. I haven't failed a drug test in two years. I was told that neurotin did not come bk in a test. And I took one Friday and had a drug test today(Thursday) been 6 days. And I failed for benzos!! So do not take neurotin if u have a drug test!!

Rick & anyone else concerned with testing dirty on a urine or mouth swab drug test. If you know you've not taken the drug you're accused of, demand a blood test. Both those methods are notoriously prone to give false positive result. You don't have to accept that kind of bull and you don't want it in your medical record. I was shocked the day my Dr came in and asked if I was taking oxycodone in addition to the morphine he prescribed. He's the one who told me about the false positive which he believed happened in my case. It devastated me nonetheless! I went home and did research, finding out just how common it is!

My son was in jail and tested false positive. They took his commissary and put him in clinic for a week. He kept saying he was innocent. When it was sent out it did come back negative. Today his suboxone clinic doc wants to put him back on it but I am petrified that it will be positive again at probation and he will go straight to jail.

I would tell him not to take it then. It's not worth his freedom. I've read and seen wherethis drug will show false positives. I would not risk it if I was him, especially it being my freedom. Best of luck to you two! Let me know how it went.

my son and i did. I fought like a dog and he did too but it did not matter because he was in jail and treated like a liar for a whole week. He was made to suffer for something he did not do. I went to our lawyer but geuss what, that all takes time. They refused to give him a blood test. You have no control if you are in there. Too bad for you. Thank God it came back negative when it was sent out but that was a week later for the results. The wardens response: Well you have to understand that was not a normal around here, most inmate aren't honest.

Steven, I was taking Neurontin for neuropathic pain and I noticed that the higher dosages would cause munchies and other effects like those you get from MJ. At a later point my son was prescribed Neurontin for pain associated to brain surgery and I asked his neurosurgeon (out of Burlington, VT) if he could tell me exactly what the ingredients in the drug were. He went on to check a drug book he has and could not find the ingredients, however he told me that the one thing it said was that a person would TEST POSITIVE for marihuana while taking Neutontin.

800mg neurontin 6 times a day? Is this prescribed? Yes it can cause false positives. If it's prescribed just let the lab people, or person know you are taking it. If it's illecit then you have a problem
