What Medications Can Cause A False Positive For Benzos
(Newest replies first)

NOT TAKING ANYTHING BUT HYDROCODONE, BUT SHOWED UP POSITIVE FOR BENZOS. NEED A LIST OF MEDICATIONS BOTH PRESCRIBED AND OVER THE COUNTER TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE TAKEN SOMETHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS

Late but just had a false positive today & am freaking out. Here are all the meds I take:

Prozac
Topiramate
Dexilant
Doxylamine succinate
Ritalin
Acetaminophen
Loperamide
Valerian root
Melatonin
Fluticasone
Caffeine
Butalbital (Fioricet)
Bentyl
D-Mannose
N-acetyl cysteine

...Not that that will help anyone "narrow it down" lol. My doc said false positives are very common with the pee-in-a-cup drug tests so not to freak out until the lab results come back, but that's hard. I imagine it's even worse if you're on parole/probation or something. They need to make these tests more precise or stop selling them because they're defective & making a lot of people's lives measurably worse. Yet drug testing is a multi-billion dollar industry.

Hello Melinda. Believe it or not, it is not uncommon to have false positives on UDS, for benzo's. There are many factors involved. Trazadone is frequently the culprit in False Positive for Benzodiazepines. Many anti-depressants and steroids also cause false positives.

Adderall could cause the false positive because it is an amphetamine.
