False Positive For Oxycodone In Urine Drug Test (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I 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?
Yes, you should definitely request additional testing and insist it be done by an actual lab and not just one of their quick on site, dipstick tests.
the false positive was probably caused by the Hydrocodone and they probably use a less expensive, non-certified test. Those types of tests are known to give false positives anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

What happened? Did they retest you?
