Melatonin Showing Up As Benzodiazepene In Toxicology Testing

Updated

My toxicology test is showing a benzodiazepene when all I'm taking is Melatonin? I don't get it, you can get melatonin over the counter since it's a natural supplement.

@SaviorFaire,

I find this occurrence to be very unusual considering that melatonin is completely unrelated and would even go so far as question if anyone might've had the opportunity or a reason to try and pollute your sample before the tox report? Given the circumstances it may be a good idea to request a re-evaluation via Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to achieve what I'd imagine to be the most accurate results. If the GC-MS proves otherwise, then it should be a wake up call to the inefficiency of standard toxicology procedures. Please keep us posted if everything gets straightened out for you! I hope this helps!

I take melatonin to sleep every night and I'm on color code and it has never showed up on my drug panel.

Just out of curiosity, can Neurontin show up in a UDS as a benzodiazepene? If so, do you have to be taking large amounts? Or can it still appear if you're only taking 900 mg per day or every other day?

Are you buying it from a pharmacy made by a legitimate company or are you getting it from some kind of infomercial podcast bro?

I only ask because I’ve seen a lot of FDA recall notices lately about herbal supplements for erectile dysfunction for example being pulled because they actually contain the pharmaceutical that treats erectile dysfunction and they can’t be sold as a supplement.

So it’s possible the melatonin you are buying does contain a benzo because whatever con artist is selling it wants it to seem like it works.

Did you get them from Joseph Mercola or Joe Rogan? Those guys are grifters and you can’t really trust what’s in those products.
