False Positive For Oxycodone In Urine Drug Test (Page 2)
UpdatedI take hydrocodone 500 Mg x3 a day, gabapentin 300mg, bid; carb /levo25-100mg at bedtime for restless leg;
Synthroid 0.15 once a day, Metformin Hcl ER 500mg once a day, cymbalta.,30mg, 1 capsule, once a day (I take in evening). I have degenerative disc disease in spine and neck. And diagnosed also with stenosis, and herniated disc without cord compression -I have no idea what that means- but I have pain most every min. I had a total R knee replacement. June 2009. I worked up till then and therapy after surgery brought out the DDD and other stuff. I just went through an appt. to get hydrocodone renewed and willingly gave a drug urine screen. Over one week later, I get a registered letter stating I showed positive for hydrocodone and oxycodone. I've never taken an oxcodone. But, I have been suffering from poison ivy and I took (maybe 2 pills) of an old vistaril 25 Mg. I honestly thought it was a benadryl. I know I took one cap, and possibly 2 caps prior from 1 to 3 days before my appt. The rash was on my face first- I Thoth I had an infected acne cyst going on my eyebrow and chin, so. I also took an old sudafed med from left over last year. I took 3 of these pills over a two day Period prior to appt. So now, I have to prove I'm not taking an oxycodone habit. They said I can no longer get my controlled medicines filled at their Meridian Health Services. Its been over a week by this next Monday. I'm calling in to make appt to clear myself. Do I request a blood drug test?
I have been clean for a long time and this is my second time living sober. I take suboxone daily and I am given dip drug tests weekly. I have not relapsed or used anything other than what I am prescribed and that includes Adderall, Lyrica, and Gabapentin. I tested positive for Oxy on 12/26. I took to dip test at my suboxone clinic to rule out a bad dip test unit. I showed positive both times. I know I have not taken anything and I have had this happen to me one other time when I was going to a methadone clinic years prior. On the dip test I showed positive but when the same sample was sent to the lab and tested the results were only suboxone and Adderall as it should be. Now many years later it has happened again. I know it is the Lyrica because the first time this happened the lab tech did a great job and discovered that yes Lyrica can show as false positives on a dip test. So to those saying no it cannot, the person had to have relapsed. That's so not true. You should always be given the option to have your sample retested in a lab if the clinic you go to can only dip test in office. So if it does come up as Oxy and you know damn well you have not taken anything, know that Lyrica can and will at times show up as Oxy. It has only happened 2 times in 6 years and it's crazy that it happens at random. The next day 12/27 I went back to my clinic and my dip test did not show positive for Oxy. There is no logical reason why it only happens randomly when I take it all the time. I thought maybe because I took it so late at night the evening before my dip test but I proved that did not make a difference. So just request your sample be sent to a lab for verification if you show positive for Oxy but have not taken any but do take Lyrica.
