False Positive On Drug Test For Methamphetamine (Page 7)

Hi, i am voluntarily drug testing for CPS because my daughter's father (who had physical custody) passed away suddenly due to a motorcycle accident leaving her "without a legal guardian" I have a previous history of using Methamphetamine. I am clean now or so i thought. Yesterday my test apparently showed positive for Methamphetamine. I know i haven't used. So far i have only came up with two possible explanations.

1. I just had to serve my ex boyfriend with a domestic violence restraining order. To make a long story short, not thinking, I ate some fast food that he insisted on leaving for me. And the 2nd being a cold medicine that I just remembered. I took one pill approximately 2 maybe 3 days ago called ST. JOSEPH DECONGESTANT-FREE HBP. Is it possible that this medicine caused a false positive? Thanks in advance for listening and any insight.

I haven't taken methamphetamine since the 70s, but we tried a lot in the 70s. I tested positive 2x's for it and also had a breath test for alcohol. That morning all I took was flonaise. I am stumped as to how this is happening?

I am on a drug patch and I take vyvanse. Will I test positive for methamphetamine? I told them I am prescribed the vyvanse and my probation officer knows. In a 10 day period a person consumes a lot of substances and stuff that can excrete from our pores. That's not to mention prescription drugs like vyvanse.

I don't know that much about the drug patch but Vyvance most likely will show up as an amphetamine. If for some reason it would show up as methamphetamine be sure to insist on a GC/MS confirmation test which is the "gold standard" for all drug testing.

Hi, I've been on this drug patch for 7 months now and the last few patches have been coming back positive for methamphetamine and since I've been out of jail 7 months ago I've been clean and every time they said I was dirty I took a urine test and passed it, so now they're violating me. What can I do now?

I guess you could do your own Hair 5 Drug Panel test but a hair test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample will go back 90 days. You might do a search online to see what might be going on with the patch. Do a search for "false positive for methamphetamine with the sweat patch" and see what comes up. More people seem to be having the same problem you are with the false positive for methamphetamine. Do you know if they did a GC/MS confirmation test on your sample? If not they could be in for some legal problems.

I have been on suboxone for 2 years now. I went to see my doctor today and he told me i tested positive for methamphetamine. I never did methamphetamine in my life. He wants me to get blood work done to see if it would test positive for methamphetamine. Why would my urine test positive for methamphetamine? The only meds i take daily are suboxone, lisinopril for my blood pressure, cetirizine and sleeping pills.

A question would be, did they do a GC/MS confirmation test on the urine sample? If not those result can be considered invalid. As far as a blood test goes, I am sure you will be negative. A hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample of head hair will go back 90 days. You could always do you own Hair 5 Drug Panel to see where you are at but I am relatively certain you will be negative. A hair test is really good at isolating the drug metabolites therefore has a very low false positive rate.

Here is the situation.. bf was given a urine test and it came up positive for marijuana, methamphetamine, amphetamines, and creatinine (pretty sure the body makes this naturally but could be wrong). I heard today that he was tested and the number 11,777 micrograms per mL....what does this mean? If this was a false positive would this number be so high?

A level of 11,000+ ng/mL is a very high level for a false positive for any drug. Was a GC/MS confirmation test done. If not I would question the validity of the results. At that high of a level my gut reaction is that that was not a false positive but your bf actually is using. I would consider doing a Hair 5 Drug Panel test which would give your bf a better idea what is going on. A hair test has a very low false positive rate.

He does consume marijuana, he admits this. He was also taking wellbutrin, baclofen, hydrocodone, amitriptyline, lisinopril, hydrochlorothiazide... to name a few and these were all prescribed. Could his marijuana have been laced? He maintains that he has not done methamphetamine.

REPLY

The marijuana could have been laced. He probably could have figured that out on the basis of how he felt during the "high" because that is a high level of methamphetamine. It's hard to say if one of the other prescriptions could have interfered with the results. Only a Medical Review Officer can answer that question. You can find an MRO at aamro.com. I am not affiliated with that organization.

My boyfriend was given Dilaudid and Morphine for an on the job injury and tested positive for methamphetamine. He doesn't take or do methamphetamine. Do these two medications play a role in his drug test?

Missy, those drugs should not interfere with a drug test. I am assuming that was a urine drug test. You might want to read some of the other post but whatever lab did the drug testing should have done a GC/MS confirmation test to be sure of ALL false positives. If they used a urine dip test like you would use at home those results have to be confirmed by GC/MS.
