hi to all ive been on mirtazapine for a few months now and i had a drug test a few week ago and its came back positive for amphetamins i dont do drugs except what my doctor gives me im tryin to find any info on internet but no luck thanx for any replies
My brother. I too was LEO for 23 years and retired as an detective on the gang unit at LAPD. I now unfortunately have severe Ptsd from my law enforcement time as well as my military service as a navy corps man. I have finally found the best combo for me. It is ativan and Paxil. The Xanax did nothing for me. Ativan was the key. I am far from feeling normal but I can now at least enjoy my family and go outside. Hope this helps. I will be praying for you. Take care.
I have been taking mirtazapine for 10 years and I take drug tests all the time for my job in the healthcare field and I have NEVER tested positive for anything. And I've been known to have a vivid dream or two but nothing like what's being portrayed in these posts. I take 30 mg tabs every night... I wake up every morning refreshed and very rested.. ready to take on the day..I swear by mirtazpine and believe that like any medication it effects all people differently... it just happens to do wonders for me and I think it's the best med they ever came out with...
I think you have a severe case of post traumatic stress.. You need lots of counseling and probably some type of depression medication too. My doctor told me if I did not do both at the same time it would not work and he was absolutely right. He used to be a old military doctor before he became a family doctor. You need to work through all the trauma you have been through and need to face allot of the fears you have somehow. Allot of your anger believe it or not comes from the post traumatic stress. I lived through post traumatic stress and it is Hell on Earth. It makes you feel an extreme amount of fear, like your life or someone else's is in danger every second of the day, it makes you extremely angry because you cannot control the fear that you are going through and cant stop the thoughts going through your mind 24/7, every second of the day, and this goes on for years until you can overcome it. Also what makes you so angry, is you are living the trauma everyday instead of being able to live life as it is right now. The medication you are taking I think is just allowing all this trauma to surface in your life. I wish you the best. This is extremely hard to get through, but it can be done. It took me 7 and a half years to overcome. I hope this helps you somehow. Wish you the best in everything you do!!!
Im taking mirtazapine going for interview and drug test. Am i going to test dirty. Im getting mixed signals from people on here
I am on mirtazapine (30mg) and I have had positive tests for benzos although I don't take drugs this has resulted in me losing my driving license for a year it's very frustrating as the dvla states you must be drug free for a year with3months to go I got another false positive for benzos it's really deflating and has made me really depressed the doctor said he has to go with the test I have now come of mirtazapine 2 weeks ago and my depression is getting worse I feel so let down
Hi I am too taking it for sleep,and depression im tested weekly and ive never gave a false positive im glad I know now in case it happens to me as my doctor is very strict pls let me know wat it shows up ass
That should not of happened. I'm on the same medication and im given weekly urine samples, if that showed up id be in trouble with my doctor, so you're ok. Just test ur urine and make sure you're getting the real thing.
Are you able to link me to any research showing information about false methamphetamine positive?
My son has tested positive on two tests and risks imprisonment. Therefore, any advice would be appreciated.
I have taken remeron but failed for benzos? Tool nothing else...why? N it was false pos. On 2nd test....just to tell u...i donp why....lol just tellin u from experience..my friend failed also when i gave him one to sleep cuz hr just got off methadone...
Im not a doctor but i have been in different therapies and you really need to keep talkin.. what u say and talk about is just what officer need to deal with and handle as it happens. waiting and stuffing all these emotions well it causes you more harm. Your city appreciates all the work you done. Be a mentor to a new officer. Good luck
Thank you. My doctor told me the same thing. That it would not show up on a drug screen.
Are you sure it's not the dependence on the xanax causing the irritability?
can you let me know of these sites you mention?
Yes, mirtazapine can absolutely show up as a false positive. I am amazed out of so many posts nobody else came upon this info. It was listed on several sites. I found it accidentally while researching the side effects of weight gain and night terrors. Talk about some crazy damn dreams. I take it more for insomnia (the one damn drug that works for me) so I don't get too worked up about them. I ran across the fact that this drug does indeed provide false positives. Your Dr. SHOULD know this. Sadly most are lazy when it comes to pharmacology.
Mitazapine doesn't show positive for anything (so they say) but like others I've shown pos for amphet but not constantly and I hate uppers but god the mood swing n anger issues I have with them are crazy... Also taking more than 2 or 3 makes you wobble like hell I've literally walked into walls but its sometimes the only way I can get sleep ..be careful on any med don't trust what other people say when it comes to side effects were all different all those on tests please don't panic
will Mirtazapine show posiitve in a drug test ??
after a break of 7days ??
I take remeron every night
.I get drug tested 3 times a week for my sober house. It does not test positive for anythinf
It is simply an anti depressant.
I had previously worked as a police officer for just short of 3 decades, and the last 15 years of that was as an undercover narcotics investigator. I had not slept more than 4 hours in the last 20 years .
I absolutely knew something was very wrong with my body, constantly exhausted, very negative attitude, and i had bad aches and pains, its just goes on and on.
I retired and decided to sit down with a doctor and "lay it all out on the line, then let the chips fall where they may, no lies, nothing held back" I soon discovered something called a 96 hour commitment order,which i narrowly escaped by having to lie to keep from a locked down mental evaluation.
my problems are manifested from 10 years of assisting in many dead body removals while assisting ems, picking up body parts from the homeless that frequently were struck then dragged miles by trains, guns shot victims, infant death syndrome, mangled persons in auto accidents, taking of a life.....then came undercover narcotics, i thought a welcomed change, but i was living multiple personalities, depending upon the person the suspect knew me as. I wont go into the undercover part far, but it turned out much more trying than the first 10 years.
during employement some of these troubles didnt surface in me and i failed to see it in anyone else, turns out we must have been theraputical to each other, because upon retirement things surfaced in me but my police support was no longer there.
the doc. i seen after leaving police work prescribed me xanax and mirtazapine.
the xanax alone has a calming effect on me, the mirtazapine with or without the xanax makes me meaner than hell, to, well anyone. in my mind i know as im speaking i am going to make someone mad, and I JUST CANT HELP IT.
its a horrendous anger, not a pick up a club and hit you anger but a tyson type "physical bite your head off" anger and it not well controlled. good gosh I would like to be normal again
Wow, I am frozen all the time while taking this medication. Wow at least I now know it's a side affect.
