I'm on lamictal and zonegran for epilepsy. random drug tests at work always show up positive for pcp. why? i have never done drugs!

Technical answer: False positive blood tests are not unusual for many things. You should speak to the director of the laboratory doing these tests, asking whether lamictal, zonegran & whatever other meds you are taking could result in this "mis-identification"? Alternate testing procedures are often available to provide a clearer picture. Ask about this in your conversation.
