False Neg For Suboxone

I take Benadryl for allergies daily. I'm also taking Suboxone. Recently I gave a urine and my councilor told me it came up neg for the Suboxone. I take 12 mg daily and have never missed a day in the last three years. Could the Benadryl cause this result in my urine ? Has this ever happened to anyone else. I'm frustrated because I'm being suspected of diverting my med and I have done nothing wrong.

REPORT

This is a follow up to an earlier post. I was informed that I had a neg result for suboxone in a UA. My counselor told me it was neg and I couldn't do anything about it. I was persistent that I take my meds EVERY day. My counselor has the lab reevaluate my urine. The result came back for Suboxone. The lab admitted they made a mistake. I urge anybody who finds themselves in a similar predicament to get a reevaluation.

Hi Tomk, that's great news. Sorry to hear that you were even under scrutiny, esp being a legitimate patient! What you did was the right thing and I wonder how many other legitimate patients have been falsely accused of not taking their meds properly due to a "lab" error. What you have posted here will serve as a valuable resource for anyone else who may be facing the same predicament! Thanks so much!

As for your earlier question about Benadryl, I've heard of high doses of it coming back as benzodiazepenes but not necessarily tripping up a lab for Suboxone.

My Dr said I have very low levels of my sub and zero naloxone, and I'm taking it like I'm supposed to.
I believe the test is wrong I'm on the films and the place I go to want everybody on the pills well I believe the films are better so that's why I'm on them but I think they're just pulling b******* on me to either lower my dose or to put me on the pill or to give me a shot and I'm not taking a shot I don't know what to do other than find another place to go to

Re: Tomk (# 1)

They say my levels are really low and I know I'm taking it right maybe I should ask for them to retake the test too that's a good idea
