Question 1

will amitriptyline show up as a benzo in a drug screen?

Accepted Answer

No: Amitryptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant and will not show up as a benzodiazepine

Question 2

will fentanyl show up on a urine drug screen saying it is only testing for opiates and benzos? not specifically fentanyl though

Accepted Answer

Fentanyl: IS an opiate but does not show up on routine urine testing HOWEVER  many Companies ask for COMPLETE drug screening which can include Fentanyl testing so don't "figure" you can use Fentanyl and pass your test!!!! The half life is about 12 hours thus it will show up for a few days after use! the HAIR will be positive for a lot longer time!

Question 3

i took a urine drug screen and benzodiazepines showed up in my metabolites i haven't taken a benzo in three months but have a bad liver is that why?

Accepted Answer

Benzos: Benzos and their metabolites can easily turn up in urine drug screens for months.... Up to 120 days after use, especially if one was taking them on a regular basis.  This fact is regardless of liver disease or not.

Question 4

if you receive a epidural during labor, will you test positive for barbiturates and benzodiazepines? drug screen was taken after epidural was given! tested positive for barbiturates & benzodiazepines. i do not take any kind of perscription drugs and wasnt

Accepted Answer

The : The medications typically used for an epidural while in labor are anesthetics such as bupivicaine, chloroprocaine, and lidocaine. These are not in the barbituate or benzodiazepine families and would not show up on a drug test as such. Sometimes mothers are given a pain killer (narcotic) prior to or in the epidural which might show up on a drug test as an opioid, but that will be documented in the medical record.  There are other medications that could have been given to you in the benzodiazepine or barbituate classes for various reasons, so the best thing to do is ask!  if you have specific questions about the testing and whether any other prescribed medications could have shown up as barbituates or benzodiazepines in the drug screening, you should call your ob/gyne doctor.

Question 5

will gabapentin show up in a drug screen for benzo?

Accepted Answer

No!: Neurontin, or gabapentine, is not a benzodiazepine and has no addictive potential.  Therefore, the drug tests are not designed to detect it.

Question 6

i took a short course of xanax (alprazolam). 1 mg daily for 5 days. discontinued use 1 week ago. will it show on drug screen? if so, would it be trace amounts?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely to show: Depends somewhat on the limits on the test BUT, it is a short acting drug. It shows up for about 5 days. That is not a large dose.

Question 7

does pseudoephedrine show on drug screen as meth?

Accepted Answer

No: Pseudoephedrine is used in the making of methamphetamine, but will not show up in any illicit drug screen.

Question 8

does winstrol show up in a drug screen?

Accepted Answer

No: Not for the ordinary drugs of abuse screen. Probably for an elite athletic screen. I have been around gyms for decades and every ordinary guy I know who has tried anabolic steroids has regretted it. Go for natural bodybuilding instead. Best wishes

Question 9

if you are taking provigil an you took a vyvance what would show up as on a drug screen?

Accepted Answer

Drug Screen: Metabolites of all drugs and medications you take may show up on a drug screen.  They may be looking for specific medications, and request these on the test. If you inform the lab and show your prescriptions when providing urine for the test, you should be fine.  If the vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) you took was not prescribed to you, that's a different issue.  Take care.

Question 10

does anestesia show up on a urine drug screen?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends what they used for anesthesia. Some agents will show up on uds and some will not.
