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

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

No: That result would not be expected. Amitriptyline, along with several other legitimate prescription drugs, occasionally leads to a false-positive result for LSD in a urine drug screen. However, even false positives should then prompt whoever is performing the test to perform a second, confirmatory analysis.
