I was tested positive for meth also. I have to say that I can honestly honezy say that I've never even seen method (besides on TV) much less have I ever touched nor tried it. After further GAnd C testing through the lab, which i requested on my own, i found out the exact cause was vicks nasal inhaler. You should ask them to run "G and C" test (gas and chromotolagy...spelling may be off). It will tell exactly what was in your system to cause a false/positive. I never knew that ingredients in cough syrup, all kind of different OTC allergy and cough medicines could cause a false positive for meth. I WS going through a nasty divorce and custody battle and that was the last thing I needed to show up in medical records. He would have definitely ended up with the kids! This is exactly why I requested the further testing. Good lu k to you! Please have them run that test...
.G and C!!!
