False Positive Drug Test Benzodiazepines

Updated

I take Methadone, Wal-dram, Trazodone, Celexa, Gabapentin and Nyquil. I showed positive for Benzodiazepine and never took any. Does anyone know why?

I am in the methadone program & take a urine drug test monthly. I came in this morning & was told I had a positive for benzos. Wth? And they were taking ALL of my takehomes-doses per day I get to take home...5 is what I had & they up & took them all for 1 supposed dirty. I currently take neurontin-600mgs 4xs a day, prozac 20mgs, nyquil at night & benadryl for my sinus & allergy issues. Can any of these meds cause a false positive? Plz help. They did say I cld hv it re-tested but for $50 which I do NOT have. I'm also very upset bcuz this will mean ill prob hv to guest dose at another center for july 4th cuz they r closed, which costs $100 total w/all their crazy fees & for jst the 1 damn day so I'm gna hv to go without that day cuz I dnt hv the $ for it either. But need to find a way to prove my innocence without $$$. Plz help. Thx.

It;s the BENADRYL!!! That is such BS that they took your take homes. Please school them on diphenhydramine and that it gives a dip-srick false positive for PCP. Benzos and certain anti depressants but when your urine is sent out to the lab it will show that is was just that.....a FALSE-POSITIVE. They are the ones who should know about this, not you....why you have to tell them this and they are in this business is shocking. The fact that your take-hoes were taken from you because they don't know their job is BS.

It's definitely the Benadryl and also NyQuil will cause a false positive. I also go a methadone treatment centre so I completely understand about your take homes....once you have accomplished getting them you become extremely upset when they are taken away from you, especially over something that absolutely isn't accurate. This is why it is so important to make for sure you either tell your counselor or someone in your facility everything you currently are taking, even down to Tylenol, dose and milligram, also including vitamins that way there is a list of everything you are taking made and put in your record. If you change brands of a vitamin you are taking or milligrams you should report it. This way when you get false positives someone can go into your record and know why those results were made and you may have a chance in keeping your take homes or at least a chance to meet with a treatment team so you can explain yourself and get them back. I really hope this info has helped you..I would tell them that you want your urine to go to a lab and that you want it tested also for whichever over the counter drug you took that May have caused this false results. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you in the end!!

What allergy pill can I take while I'm in the methadone program? No Benadryl which contains DPH

It's the gabapentin. When taken in high doses can come up as a false positive in some 10 panel drug tests.
