Toxicology Blood Test
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I was arrested for a DUI. I refused the breath test, I was given a blood test. My results came back .05 BAC. But diazepam was found in my blood and also nordiazepam. I had .043 MG/L of ambien in my blood.(Is this considered an amount for impaired driving? Also I have never taken diazepam and don't even know what nordiazepam is? How can these drugs show up in my blood test and I never took them?

That's below the therapeutic level of .08-.15.
The ambien levels in your case didn't cause impairment
i am taking crestor altase and 81mg aspirin. just started taking motrin for my hip. would it affect the benefit of these drugs.
David, thanks for the info. These are the meds and vitamins I take: Synthroid, Crestor, Ranitidine, Gabapentin, Quetiapine, 81mg Aspirin, Cranberry capsules, Multi-vitamins, Vitamin D, Vitamin B-12, Calcium, Selenium, 800 mg Motrin. I would appreciate anything you can find out. I haven't been having any luck trying to find out any info!
On the cheaper, less reliable tests, it seems anything is possible. False positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.
Have you recently taken any other kind of medication (over-the-counter or prescription)?
Something else you took is very likely the cause of these false positives. If you recall taking anything whatsoever, I can do some research on it in hopes of figuring out more details on the false positives.
In any case, I was also esearching ways in which you may be able to dispute a false positive and I came up on the following information:
"Specific testing, such as that done by a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer, has the ability to distinguish the exact substance in question. This type of testing is not initially performed because of cost, but, is often a follow-up option for those facing serious consequences such as a job loss or jail time."
This may be something you can inquire about.
I hope this helps!
