Question: How can topomax and Kepra create a false drug positive
Brief Answer:
Followup
Detailed Answer:
Keppra and Topamax can affect metabolism of certain drugs, but should not create a false positive for benzos. What has very likely happened here is that your urine test was switched with another patient's test, or was defective. I advise you to urge our doctor to repeat the test, because the test is in some way inaccurate. But Keppra and Topamax were not the cause.
