Common Questions and Answers about Provigil urine drug screen

I was given a urine drug screen last night that tested positive for benzos. I have not been on any tranquilizers! My current medication regime includes Effexor XR 150mg bid, Seroquel 200mg, taking 400mg qhs, Betaseron 1cc qod subq. I was put on Bactrim last week bid for 5 days for a urinary tract infection. In May, June and part of July I was taking Trazdone 200mg qhs, but then switched back to Seroquel 200mg, taking 400mg qhs. I am confused as to what caused the positive test for benzos?
Dehydration will not effect a drug screen either. It is not rare for a urine drug screen to be in error. Unfortunately like so many other ppl that have erroneous drug screen there really is no recourse for you. I wish I had better answers for you.
Talk to the HR Department or your boss. Ask for more information. I too am curious as to what was found in your urine. Good luck to you.
I have been with my Dr for 7 yrs. Never has she asked for a Urine Drug Screen. Last month I called in to get a refill on my Percocet and she told me I needed to do a Random Urine Drug Screen. I went and the nurse calls me to inform me that the Dr will no longer be able to give me any more Percocet or Klonopin seems my Urine Drug Screen showed that I was negative for both drugs. I told her I had taken 2 Percocet the day before and I take my Klonopin daily before bed.
there are expensive screens that can differentiate but i would tend to think it would not show up on a standard 5 panel screen....i do know someone who paseed their drug screen/5 panel where i work..she is a nurse on sub/with a scrip but did not want to get into the addiction thing so she did not say she took it....it came back ok...if it woulda come back bad..then she was gonna say something...
popular with young people may carry more of an addiction risk than thought, a small government study suggests. Scans of 10 healthy men showed that the prescription drug Provigil caused changes in the brain's pleasure center, very much like potentially habit-forming classic stimulants. Modafinil, the drug's generic name, is sometimes used as an illegal study aid by college students.
Hello Lass,First off is this just routine,or is their some reason of diversion like due you work as a nurse ,and if so,are they checking only you or are you on a Methadone program and all they want to know is there any hydrocodone in yopur system to bebin with,as same not so bright addicts say that they are on this and that and when they run a urine screen,nothing shows up,even the drug that they say is their drug of choice.
After looking at the quest diagnostic site (which is where I am going) I became more paranoid because it talks about blood test with and without confirmation urine. My script just says urine drug and alcohol screening and I think the blood work is just for my viral load, AFP, CBC W/Diff, CMP (chem 14), PT/PTT. I don't really know what all of this is but the bottom line is I have to get treatment and I don't want to risk being denied. I need to just talk to my doctor.
There is a blood test that could be done in place of an in office screen, but as I said, typically, when there is an office screen, that urine is also sent out for confirmatory testing, which looks for all of the metabolites of the opiate as it is broken down in the body to measure compliance. There is very, very little false negatives or false positives in gc/ms or immunoassay testing.
I am sorry you are going through this.
Was the urine sent out for confirmatory testing or was this an in office screen? When was the last dose taken in relation to the test?
It’s possible for an in office screen to have a false positive/negative result, due to cut off thresholds, but most pm offices send out urine for quantitative/confirmatory testing after an in office result.
Go to another facility and pay if you must for the blood drug screen or better yet demand one from the facility that has required the urine drug screen. We have rights too.
I sincerely hope that your concern is for not. If it does return inaccurately you will be forced to find another physician. So be prepared to start your search immediately. I wish you the very best. Please keep in touch with us and let us know how you are doing. I will look forward to hearing from you.
You and I know - as does your physician - that when you take opiates they show up in your UDS (Urinary Drug Screen) - yet yours didn't.
I do believe you - what reason do you have to be untruth to a group of strangers? What could it get you?
I can explain (to some degree) why different metabolites show up in a UDS than one might anticipate - I can't explain why one has a negative, or false UDS when they are taking opiates.
It is the #1 rated drug for energy for MSers (an MS doctor said this at an MS dinner and I have read it in drug surveys, as well). Another benefit of Provigil is that it also has an antidepressant effect. I believe I have read that it has been used in severely depressed individuals and is probably a lot safer than those so-called antidepressants that often end up leading depressed individuals to suicide.
Now I have a surprise for you people: Provigil has a new sibling called Nuvigel!!
