a random drug test yielded a positive test for methadone. If you are not taking methadone, how could that be?
I just show up dirty for methadone, what would cause that if I ant took it..
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 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.
Over the counter sleeping pills, ingredient HCI. Made me test positive.
hello.its possible ranitidine can make false positive for methadone.i failed my urine test,i take ranitidine 10 hours before test.anyone can help me? 3 month again i will take the test again for getting job.thankyou
I tested positive for methadone to. The only other pill I had taken was melatonin. Can any one explain???
I have been taking suboxone for over 3 years now and have been clean from pills for the entire time even when I was using I never took methadone so I am so heartbroken that I have been testing ppositive I am so proud of my sobriety and wouldn't ever do anything go jepordize my clean time I don't know what's going on I am getting so discouraged being accused of doing something I damn well know I am Not!
YES!! Nyqill can test pos. for methadone. Also aleve can cause pos result for thc!! I don't smoke marijuana. Not for 30 yrs! Came up pos for thc. My face must have showed my shock and confusion lol cuz the nurse doing test told me it can do a false pos. I think this happens A LOT!!! But trying to get the dr testing u to believe it and educate him and get him to trust and believe u is another matter. Hope this helps.
My friend took a drug test for her job and failed for methadone she hasn't taken it for over a year. She was sick last week and was on a few different meds. So I say yes something else caused it
Methadone is showing in my urine screen though I've never taken.
I was just tested positive for methadone, I don't even know what it looks like, never had it and have never been around anyone who has it. The nurse told me it was just a small indication on the test, but they were sending it to the lab for further testing, I have been taking Benadryl my allergies are crazy, plus if I get stung by a bee or if any insect stings or bites me I break out. could the benadryl cause the methadone positive? this has pissed me off, now I am on probation
YES...IT STAYS IN YOU SYSTEM 30 DAYS
From what I know about these urine tests & taking Nucynta, a special urine test is needed. My Dr gives me a different test but the labs aren't aware of what you are taking and they just gives the normal test. Insist on having them give you a different test that's available for people who take Nucynta.
Nucynta does cause a false positive because it happened to me. The only pain med I take is Nucynta & Soma. I had a drug test done & I tested positive. There is no way I had taken Methadona in over 8 years. I have chronic pain for the last 15 yrs & this has never happened before. The labs that are analyzing this results should pay attention to the details before releasing false reports!
Same with me! I too take Nucynta and tested positive for methadone. I know from my dr that I have to have a different urine test than what the lab does. I had a DUI 2 yrs ago & have to go for testing. The probation office said I'm lying. Now they want my dr to write her & proof that I don't have meth in my system. I havent taken that crap since 2008 that was prescribed by my dr. There were only 4 pills used from that time. They didn't work for my chronic pain back then, why the hell would I take it now? But it is good to know that I'm not alone & either are you! Hope everything works out for you
I feel for you. I have never taken methadone I was shocked that my urine came back positive for methadone. that Goes on my mental health record. the only way I could have gotten methadone in my system was that the nurse had to put it in my icewater. ill never ask for another cup of ice water. I do not know what the side effects are for methadone.
I too take nucynta & tested positive for Methadone. I was shocked. I was accused of taking meds that weren't perscribed by my dr.
I went to the ER to get my sugar tested. I asked the nurse for ice water. she took a long time coming back with the ice water. on Friday I went to mental health to get my case reopen. I had to take a urine test. for Drugs. with in 5 minutes my urine came back it was positive for methadone. have never had methadone in my life.i want to know if you. think the nurse had put methadone in my ice water.i was told that methadone stays in your system for three to five days is that true.want to know how methadone was in my system three days later.
