I just left from the dr and my urine test came back positive for methadone. The only medication im taking is tramadol. There is no possible way that methadone is in my system. The tramadol had to have test positive for methadone. They are going to send it off to a lab. Has this happened to anybody else before?

tested positive today for methadone. shocked. found a journal article showing Nucynta often creates false positive. can't wait to print and drop off to doc. felt so judged and am tired of it. done nothing wrong and i feel like a criminal. i feel awful for people who have lost jobs or missed opportunities because these drug screens are being used wrongly. :-(

Ramona, check out this peer reviewed article from The Journal of Analytical Toxicology. It seems Nucynta does cause false positives for methadone.

So how could this happen ? I do take oxycodone 10mg for pain but That's what he gives me . I take the test every month with out any problem . The only thing I took different is , Allegry , and goodys headache medicine. Does anyone out there know the anwser ? Thanks.

I went to my doctors appointment for maintenance. I have been on suboxone for years and have stayed clean for years. About two months ago they came out with a generic suboxone so I started taking that. My copay went from $50dollars to $10. Well much to my surprise the doctor took a urine sample and I tested positive for suboxone and methodone. I have never taken methodone in my life. I felt like know one believes me. It brings back so many bad memories of the addict I once was. The lying, stealing and cheating. But I took another urine test and still positive for methodone. So I decided to go to lab cor and get a blood test. My doctor will get the results Monday or T Tuesday. It's a terrible feeling to know your telling truth and can't prove it. But I swear I have never ever taken methodone. Please help me understand this ??? Any idea's ???

Today my husband went into the dr o manage his seriouse neck problem and he is prescribed Percocet 7.5MG and they gave him a urine test and he tested positive for methadone, but he took only one pill 5 days prior to ehs appointment, due to serious debilitating pain and then he took sudifed PE and ibprofen for the cold he had 3 days prior to his appointment, could he just recieved a false positive from that??? I really doubt he had any methadone in his system he has such a high matabolisum, and works, eats and drinks lots of water daily. They sent the test out to be tested at the lab and I would hate to see him not get treated because of a over the counter medication. Can they tell exactly what medication it is? or is it just a catagory they use to put the nmedications in?d

I have been in recovery court for a year and half for drinking. I test 1 to 2 times a week and never droped dirty untill about 2 to 3 weeks ago. I have tested posititive for methadone on the 10 panal strips 3 weeks in a row at testing once a week. They labed the first one and came back positive. I have never done methadone in My life and didn't know really what it was untill I tested positive. The only thing I have done diffirent in the last year and a half is start taking birth control, wellbutrin and Ibuprophin 800 (IB p I took the whole time). The positive tests started as soon as I started taking them. I have not taken any other drugs. What could cause me to lab test positive for methidone 3 weeks in a row? It is driving me crazy to know I haven't ever in My life touched it and people think I'm full of s***. Honestly... that's what I would think. Pleas help!!!

I just got a positive lab test for methadone but I have never taken the drug before. I am in a treatment center that gives me meds daily and it has been showing up since I got here. My probation officer thinks i am getting this drug in my treatment center illegally somehow and this is impossible. I am currently taking sertraline, propanolo, oxcarbazepine, trazodone, cetirizine and buspirone. Can any of these or a combination of these cause a certified lab to falsely test urine for methadone?

I know what you mean. i had an accident at work and had to take a drug test and it came back positive for methadone. I did't know what methadone was until the the nurse told me at the Drs. office told me. I never taken methadone, never had a prescription for it and now I don't have a job. I feel like people think i am lying. Does anybody know of any type of drugs that could cause you to have a false positive drug scheening for methadone. Thanks
