methadone false positive

i go to a methadone clinic and in the last 10 months i have come up positive for atavan and clonapin about 5 times by blood test even though i have never taken theese drugs.every time i come up positve i get punished by having to go more often.i was going twice a month now i'm going 3 times a week.what would cause this?how can i prove i'm not taking them??

i take 300 mg a day for various pain. now, 3 times my urine has shown methadone in it. i have never taken any methadone. telling a meth clinic this and swearing on my life holds no water if you know what i mean. has this ever happened to anyone and if so what could cause this?

well I was on methadone for 7yrs and one of my urin test came back positive for cocaine ....I never liked coke and dident do it ...I had the same thing happen they pulled my take homes and in order to clear it up I had to pay 20 bucks to get the original sample retested and it came back ok...since it was there fault I asked for my 20 bucks back but never got it if your clean dont worrie about it everything will be fine once they retest it.............

Does anyone know why a saliva drug test would come up positive for amphetamines?? I am on methadone maintenance program and get tested monthly. I honestly have never done amphetamines. Only thing I have done is smoke a little weed. I have checked all websites for possibilities as to why this could occur and I have not taken any of the meds that can cause a false.

Now, in November, I tested positive again. I have not had any Methadone since February. I have read that Methadone stays in your liver and fat cells. I have lost 50 lbs since I got onto Suboxone. That is the only reason I can think that it would cause this? Otherwise, I don't have any other explanation. I am extremely worried that this could get me kicked off Suboxone! Help!

No I am on suboxon n I have 2 go in and take drug test n I just started the program about a month ago n the last 2 times I ha e gone in 2 take a test it is comming up positive for methadone n I have never done methadone, ever. But I take pain reliever pms at night could there be anyway those would make my drug test positive for methadone??

Antihistamines(allergy medicines) have been seen to show a false positive for methadone at my clinic. The fact that there are no metabolites should be reason to request another test. That should send up red flags with any lab tech.

What is causing the false positive for methadone? The urine test was done by an 11 panel urine tester. Can I ask for blood test? It ***** to be accused of something you have not done. The only difference in the last 2 years is that Lycra 50 mg 3x day and IB Profin every other day, I just started these 2 drugs in the last 4-5 weeks......that is the only difference.

I think it is possible that the ambien and the lunesta may be the cause of your false positive for benzos. Although fairly controversial, i have read of people who have failed pre employment drug screens even though they consumed no narcotics. Ambien or lunesta was the common denominator in many of these stories. Whilst both are not true benzos but a 'z 'class hypnotic,sedative,anxiolytic,they have similar properties to benzos and tickle the same receptor sites.

More likely that the Oxy and possibly the Nuerontin or one of the other meds interacted to give a false positive for methadone.... The second lab should reveal the answers.

This is day 6 with no methadone(well a 3or4mg slip) but I have taken about 2 hydros per day when I feel bad. question is that I dont take the hydrocodone besides these few over the last couple of days, I feel soooooo much better today but is the hydrocodone just taking the place of the methadone? will I hit hard wd when i stop taking them? or is this a different type of drug so when i stop tomm. i will not be able to tell?

Hi I have been reading a lot of these post and have been through similar situations drug screens turning up a false positive /neg. Do all of you know and I found this out the hard way. That certain herbal an supplements can affect your drug results. If you eat poppy seeds or anything of that sort u need to do research because if u r tested for heroine and have not taken any.....

Benadryl and cold medicines will definitely cause a false positive for methadone, along with a few other drugs. It's sad that the doctor didn't give you a chance to remedy this when this type of thing is not unusual!

I really doubt that after a one hundred days anything would be left .Have you been taking any meds? It most likely just a false positive I would ask to take another .

It was a false negative.

Hmmm, I've tested positive for amphetamines from a damn red bull before. Maybe go see a different dr. I can't believe that the dr would think opiate WD is good for the baby... I'm surprised they didn't give you your script.
