False Positive For Benzos Urine Drug Screen
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I am worried sick... I have been going to a suboxone doc for over a year and half now. Been very proud of myself for staying clean. This last Monday I went for my usual monthly checkup and urine drug screen and for the first time it showed that I was dirty for benzos. I have never taken any benzos on purpose or accident. The only other things i have been taking along with my suboxone are otc pain relievers such as midol, aleve and ibuprofin(all generic brands) i go back the day after tomorrow to find out what the lab results will show. My thing is if my test showed benzos and I haven't taken any then how can I trust any test??

Can cetirizine 10 mg. Once daily cause a false positive for benzo , in a urine test
I ended up going to an outside lab, paid $60, out of pocket, and presented those results to the methadone clinic. You could give it a try.
I am on suboxone at Ideal Options and been coming up positive for benzos. No matter what I say the so called doctor is going by the test he looks at me like I'm a pos lying druggie. I don't know what to do if I come up positive again on Thursday he will no longer help me with my meds. I need help what could make the test say positive when taking suboxone I not been taking any benzos?!
Brad Elliot,
I'm affiliated with a methadone clinic in NJ . I can attest to the fact that ON VERY RARE OCCASIONS NyQuil type cough/cold/flu preparations have resulted in a methamphetamine false positive but not for benzos.REMERON HOWVER has occasionally produced false positives for benzodiazepine class drugs.
Many use these items to establish plausible deniability to contest a false positive result.Every provider utilizes a confirmation protocol to prevent unfair dismissal from treatment.I wish I had a magic answer to assist you but unfortunately there are no simple answers.If you feel strongly about this defend your stance vigorously thru the appropriate Channels . Hope this sheds some light on this subject matter.
Will remeron 30 mg and NY qual show up as benzos on a drug screen and ive took Thera ful
I too have tested positive for benzos, Oxazepam to be exact, I have NEVER even heard of this drug. I don't take benzos! I'm on methadone, synthroid,venlafaxine, and tizanidine. I need some answers too!!
i have a big problem my last urine drug screen came back positive for for nordiazepam oxazepam temazepam and i do tAke clonzazepam and it came back negative plus it came back positive for codeine and i have not taken that either i take hydrocodone and morphine this has to be a false positive
This is a serious matter for me as well. I too am taking suboxon and I also take phenergan for nausea, these are the ONLY prescription meds I take, with occasional ibuprofen and basic vitamins supplements. I Have been racking my brain out trying to look up answers to why I would come up with a faint line for benzo's at my probation UA app. It is a possibility I could end up going to jail for this and I am furious!!!!!! I am confused and upset that I can't quite find any answers on this. If any one can make any sense of this please help! Any input would be valuable to me.
My freind is going through the same thing showed up dirty two times in a row for benzo at sub clinic and she dosent take them i dont undetstand thid at all she is on no other meds. nothing.....
The lab test come back twice saying i tested positive for benzos and I got discharged from clinic and I didn't have anywhere else to go that was close enough to drive to. I still have no idea how or why my test came back dirty from a lab. It's crazy!
The lab test come back twice saying i tested positive for benzos and I got discharged from clinic.. I was dumbfounded! I don't know how this happened to me because I was clean. Got kicked out February 10 th and went cold turkey ( not by choice) but still clean today and feel lot better so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. To this day i still don't know why or how it happened but i hope you had better luck than I did.
The same thing has happened to me on multiple occasions, and I have been clean and seeing the same doctor for 6 years. I still do not know if there is a connection between suboxone and benzos, but it pisses the hell out of me also. It is like the doctor looks down at me as if I have done something wrong! And, to get to a doctor who prescribes suboxone is a very expensive experience. I know what you are going through. Hang in there.
can you please tell me what happened? i had the exact same thing happen to me, i tested positive thursday and have to retest this morning, i am too on the suboxone and scared they cut me off for something i did not do!!
