I am prescribed subutex for addiction and today at my Dr. Appt I tested positive for methadone. I haven't taken methadone in years. I am on an antibiotic and nerontin besides subutex. What would cause me to get a false positive for methadone? I do also occasionally take Tylenol pm also.

Me too. I am livid. Being called a liar by ur doctor. Without any recourse to prove your innocence. I dont know what to do. Ive been on pain meds morphine for 13years, now they just cut me off. I feel like this might shut my organs down.

I had taken Alka Seltzer, Cold & Cough and Alieve and I tested positive for Methadone & I don't know what it is or looks like. I take prescription drugs from this doctor and I had nothing to hide. I felt like a criminal! They put a copy in my record and everything! I am so upset about this. What can I do to get this out or get it corrected? It is Not Right!

Very strange I just done one myself and methadone came up. I'm on tramadol and amitriptiline?
Tramadol must have a similar compound in it?

There are other meds that can cause a false positive, in my case it's benadryl to try and sleep, started out with 4 (25mg) pills a night now I've gradually increased it and am at 12-14 pills a night and now i often get restless legs short breaths fuzzy vision noises that don't sound right uncoordinated as hell

When you say 12-14 pills a night, do you actually mean 12-14 milligrams a night? Benadryl (diphenhydramine) comes in a standard 10 milligram pill, so if you're taking more than 2 or 3, you're putting your life at risk. Please be careful?

From my internet searches, it seems that common sleep aids such as Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Unisom (doxylamine succinate) and a list of other medications can create a false positive for methadone. I've never taken methadone in my life and don't even know what it looks like, but I tested positive TWICE, consecutively. I have chronic pain and terrible insomnia and especially the night before an appointment, so I was taking 1 Benadryl, 1 Unisom and a 10 mg. Melatonin tablet at bedtime. At my pain management doctor's office I had a urinalysis, but wasn't given the results until my next month's appointment. At that time I was told that I had failed, so right away was handed a cup to pee in. Since I didn't know what was going on yet and had taken those sleep meds the night before again, naturally I failed that test too. This is when I began looking for this vitally important information.

Promethazine... usually given for nausea. I attend a suboxone clinic and I repeatedly kept failing for methadone. My doctor sent it away for a retest and it always came back as a false positive. You can not mix methadone and suboxone as they will cancel each other out and make you very very sick. After doing my own research I started recording everything I was taking for medicines that was over the counter or prescribed after failing twice. After failing 5 times for methadone I went through my notes and the only thing I had in common the time I had failed was the promethazine. Hope this helps.
