The first test 3,000 nanos, the second 6,000 nanos !!!! I am STUNNED !!!!! The only thing that I take is my anxiety meds ( Citilopram,40 MGS) ..... during the first test I took zyertec , and the second an herbal Urinary vit , becuase I thought i had a urinary track infection,which I didnt..... I DID NOT eat poppy seeds . does ANYONE know why on earth this is happening, or could happen ??? Im NOT taking any opiates/codeiene at all !!!!!

I am amazed at the way that you take time out of your life to look for answers to other peoples problems. It just goes to show that there are still good people out there.

What a mess, Kim.

I found this link.  Scroll down to false positives for opiates.

Kidney infection,  kidney disease, diabetes.  I suspect one of those - you thought you had a urinary tract infection but didn't.  Could you actually have had one,  and a kidney infection,  but it resolved?

Is it possible you are slightly diabetic?
