False Positives For Benzos

I have been on a methadone program for almost two years and I take 15 tylenol PM's every morning and every night. So 30 total I know that's a lot so please don't say that haha...SOOO I have never been dirty EVER..the other day I had a charge on my account and I asked what it was for and they said it was for a dirty urine!! I was pissed I asked the nurse what I came up dirty for and they said Benzos. Ummmm here's the issue I don't take them...so she is sending a urine out to have it done with a GC/MS machine. Idk what else to do. But my question is what is the reality of tylenol pm causing a false positive? I just need real answers ya know. Thanks y'all!!

I take Suboxone and Paxil. When my doctor gave me a drug test it came back positive for Benzos. I don't know why this happened. ## Hi Mandy, Although I haven't located any details confirming the possibility of a false positive for Benzos from either of those medications, I do believe that it's still a strong possibility due to the faulty standard drug tests they use today. A lot of these standardized drug tests have a fairly high false-positive response, where it seems as though anything is likely to show up. To my knowledge, false positives are known to occur on them anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time. Have you asked your doctor about getting re-tested? I hope you can get this sorted out! These false reports just put too much stress on patients who are simply taking their m...

Does anyone know if drinking chinese herbal tea with passion flower can cause a false positive for benzos. ## What type of Chinese herbal tea? I mean, is it claimed to treat anything specific? Was it purchased in the U.S.? The reason I'm asking is because if it was not purchased in the U.S., but rather from an online, or foreign source, it could be adulterated. Various drugs, such as Benzodiazepines and stimulants have been found in many of the supposedly natural, Chinese products. The said, no passion flower is not known to cause a false positive for anything, but it could have been one of the other ingredients.

I am on a lot of meds and taking drug tests for probation, i have been testing positive for benzos for months and the lab never finds them but my last test a week ago showed positive for restoril and serax, even though i am not taking them. What meds can cause this? ## I take Xanax and percocet, plus a lot of other things. I have been on antibiotics for awhile. Anyway, the past 2 months, my urine test showed positive for timazepam! I have tested positive for it the past 2 months! I have NO idea what it is. Could the combination of any medications make timazepam make it test positive?

they don't want me to take my vyvanse....because my urine test showed benzos. Why do I have to NOT take this when I have a scrip. I am in an intensive therapy program....for grief and very little alcohol. vyvanse saved my life......and now they want me to stop it for the next two wks. WHY.....AND stupid. ## Vyvanse hasn't been known to cause a false positive for Benzodiazepines, but it is most likely that they are trying to eliminate the possibility of false positives occurring.

I have been testing positive for benzos and i cant figure out why. I have been taking suboxone & Ondansetron & promethazine. Thats it. If i fail another drug test, then my doctor is gonna kick me out. If anybody knows of any common substances, prescription or over the counter medications please inform me. Thanks ## I checked the prescription medications that you listed, but none of them are known to cause false positives for Benzodiazepines. However, it can be caused by Benadryl or anything that contains its active ingredient Diphenhydramine, such as Tylenol PM, Advil PM or the store brand/generic equivalents. There are also many Chinese herbal remedies on the market, such as those for weight loss and relaxation/sleep that have been found to contain them as undeclared drug ingre...

I am in rehab at the moment and have tested 3 times for benzos but im only on Seroquel, Lyrica and Methadone. I have heard that Seroquel can test positive for benzos and need to know if this is true. Im going to lose my son if I dont get this cleared up and I HAVE NOT TAKEN ANY BENZOS!! ## I have looked up information on this, as well as a listing of what drugs can cause false positives and no, there is no scientific proof, anywhere, that Seroquel can give a false positive for Benzodiazepines. I have also double checked the Lyrica and Methadone and neither of those will do it, either. I'm sorry, have you tried asking them more specifics about the test? Do you know what type of test they are doing? Have you taken anything else? Please post back and let me know, even if it was just so...

I recently tested positive for benzodiazepines but I have not taken any benzodiazepines. Is it possible that a sleep aid containing diphenhydramine or benadryl can cause this false positive for benzos? ## Yes, Diphenhydramine, which is the active ingredient in Benadryl and added to many OTC sleep aids, has been known to cause a false positive for Benzodiazepines and PCP. It is actually an antihistamine, that just causes drowsiness a side effect, and many of them are known to cause these types of false positives. ## Are there any studies proving Diphenhydramine Hydrochloride can test positive for benzos in urinalysis ## I am testing positive for Benzos, testing everyday now for 2 weeks!

My son is taking aleve, ibuprofen, sertraline and has tested positive for benzodiazepines. He just started on trazadone and is still testing positive for benzodiazepines. Do you know if any of these can be the cause? ## Sertraline causes false positives about 26% of the time. In some people (like me), the body metabolizes it in such a way that it creates a benzo type chemical. Aleve will also cause false positives. ## Can jet alert or red bull or Hydrocodone/acetaminophen cause a false positive on drug screen for benzos ## Ive been testing dirty for benzodiazepines.
