Tell Dr.: Instead of worrying about the medication not prescribed by your treating dr. showing up in the urine, you need to be honest with the dr. and let them know you took a different medication from someone else? You need to be honest and have a trusting relationship with your treating Dr. or you will only be fooling yourself.
