False drug screen

[Lucyrj]

I have been on oxycontin 40mil and oxycodone 10/325 for 13 years . I did a random urine screen for the second time in 4 months and tested positive for marijuana and didn't touch the stuff and never failed one  . Now I'm so scared there going to stop giving me my meds and I have severe nerve damage due to chemo that was left running in me for 2 1/2 hours longer than supposed to be . I am burnt from the inside out from head to my feet. My question is can my Dr. stop giving me my meds due to this false positive, also they make me wait the 30 day before my appointment . I don't know what will happen to me if they don't give them to me or how my body will respond and do not have extra to even try and get another Dr. and that will be impossible with what I take . what are my choices if any??? I'm scared to death and afraid that mite be what's next .

It's a common mistake.

Urine immunoassay testing for MJ can yield false positives if the patient is taking omeprazole, ibuprofen, naproxen, and other OTC medications.

Ask your doc to send the sample for chromatographic examination.

Tell your doc there's a new app available from Remitigate.com called UDTapp that helps doctors better interpret results from UDT immunoassay.

ALWAYS HAVE A "PLAN B."
All you people who put all their faith in ONE basket. Fools I say.
You could be doing EVERYTHING right, a "Mr.Mrs.Do-Good patient," brown-nosing everybody up the wazoo.... but then your doctor decides to retire and move to India tomorrow.

So, whether or not you did or didn't take marijuana, blah blah blah, whatever, if it ain't one thing, it'll be another.

Just remember that.
