Can Morphine Cause A False Positive For Methadone (Top voted first)

I just took a court ordered UA to test for illicit drugs. I take 30mg of Morphine twice daily. My test came back positive for the Morphine which is fine. I have a script but also positive for Methadone! I don't take Methadone! Could the Morphine have caused this?

So how did it go? When ANYONE tests with those Instant Urine Tests, the type where they place a strip/stick into the urine and it changes colors - are ONLY Used As an Indication. It even says on those boxes that any and all Positives are not at all conclusive and should Then be Sent Out To a Lab for analysis. Yes as I'm sure you already know Opiates are Opiates and will turn the strip POS. But if they THEN SEND it out to a Lab they will know the difference as they test NOT for cocaine but for the chemical cocaine turns into within the body a chemical composition unique Only to that drug. What did happen? - it will help others who steadily trickle in with the same questions.

I'm not sure if I still tested positive for Methadone after they sent my urine to the lab or not but my attorney said that being methadone can stay in your system a long time the Deputy that does the testing said he wasn't going to hold it against me as I could have taken it before I was arrested therefor I wouldn't have been breaking my bond agreement. What a relief!
