Hey Thank you for getting back to me, I am talking about an allergy med that is called cetirnizine. I went to the doc and had a clean drug screen Thank God because if I lose this program and go back to using it will be death. He think it can be my antidepressant Effixor but its one of them as soon as I find out I will post it so everyone will know incase they go thropugh the same thing. I about lost it trying to go without my meds plus stressing to figure out what caused it. Thank you

Do you mean Sertraline?  (brand name:  Zoloft).  Because a 2 year study showed that people taking it can end up with a false positive for benzodiazepines.
