False Positive On Saliva Drug Test For Methamphetamine

I have tested positive twice now and cps is trying to have a court order to place me out of the home. I wasn't taking methamphetamine. I am prescribed multiple meds. Help me prove that it was a false positive.

What meds are you taking? Certain meds (Adderall) may give a false positive for methamphetamine . Did they perform a second test by a different more expensive method to verify the original results. what were the results of the second test?

I have worked for CPS and administered those tests. Adderall will make you test positive for Amphetamines only, which is fine. If you test positive for both Amphetamines and Methamphetamines its a positive for Meth. If you want to clear yourself request a hair follicle...because EVERYONE denies use, for obvious reasons...

I just tested positive for them, ive never done them at all! I take zantac and trazodone..i found on many many gov websites a flaw of false positive tests that are showing methamphetamine because of anti depressants which some sleep meds are, like trazodone..as well as almost any cold meds but funny enough its most likley my zantac! Yea, this isnt ok. If patients or anyone get falsely accused by science its automatically drawn up as us being the one who has to prove it, and if a urine test says dirty and they do a "confirmation". It's literally just confirming what they first found..so they will say you have to pay for a retest but if they found it in the specimen the first time they'll find it the second time! they do not want to be wrong!!..if your a addict then well ur already a liar..so get a hair sample, do not tell them what you are testing for! Do anything you can, even try to get a lie detector test done..im sorry this sucks.

Will paroxetine, buspirone, quetiapine fumarate, albuterol inhaler, and duo neb with albuterol and ipratropium bromide, hydroxyzine pamoate, cause a false test for anything?

I get hydrocodone for pain. I take Vyvanse for ADHD which shows up as an amphetamine. Two years ago my pain doctor changed labs he used to send for our test results. This lab broke down whether or not you had amphetamine and/or methamphetamine in your system. Since he changed labs he said once my system cleaned out he would start prescribing my Hydro's again. It took 8 weeks for the methamphetamine to clear my system. It only took 2 weeks for it to clear my wife's system. With the pain we're in we have done any methamphetamine since then. He tested us at the end of November but instead of doing urine he had us do a saliva test. This wasn't a swab, we had to stick this thing under our tongues and keep it there until the piece sticking out of our mouths turned blue. It took mine 15 minutes and my wife's 30 minutes. A month later at our next appointment, we found out our results were positive. A very low amount so he took us off the Hydro's & sent us over for another test. This time we had to do the saliva and urine test. We saw him 2 weeks later and the saliva test showed trace amounts and the urine tests were negative. He still wont prescribe any Hydro's. We were sent over to take another lab test. This time they only did urine & we have an appointment in a month. We haven't done any methamphetamine. I've searched all over trying to find out wtf is going on. I've found 3-5 meds we take, some otc, that have caused false positives in laboratory studies according to the FDA. This new lab has him convinced their tests never return false positive results and he won't listen to anything we say. I may never find out why... guess I needed to vent. Thanks :-)
