Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
HI, two weeks ago two ladies showed up at my house from Child Protection Services and said they had an anonymous call saying I was abusing illegal drugs........I have not taken or done an illegal drug in 7 years when I started fighting for custody of My son.......which I was able to get Joint Custody after 10 years of having visitation due to being tricked by his dad ................It took almost 6 years of this last custody battle to get joint custody..................today which is 2 weeks later the CPS girl calls and says I need toi go give a urine sample for drug screen today..................so I did ..............I do take Oxycodone for a failed back surgery when my daughter was born 17 years ago..... I also am bipolar and extreme ADHD so I do take Adderrall but ONLY TO WORK and I do not abuse those ................I do not abuse my medications and I even let the CPS girls count my medicine to see that I take them as prescribed or less .........and I was happy to go take that test today but when the girl that did the test said yes foor oxycodone and yes for amphetamines for adderrall...................but also was positive for methadone........I had to ask what Methodone was for ?? I had heard of it but didn't know the reason for taking it.........I have not taken anything but my prescriptions in 7 years.............but I read that benedryl will show up as methodone and last Friday I had a reaction to something and rushed to dermatologist with red rash and hives all over face and neck................and I have been drinking Benadryl to try and relieve the itch that is severe.........I so why did Methodone show up when I have NEVER taken it EVER.........because of this they COULD take my son that took me 6 years to get joint custody of just 6 months ago.......OHHH and during the 6 year custody battle I went and paid for drug testing every few weeks because I did fail a drug test when the custody battle started in 2012 but have not put anything illegal or that I didn't have RX for since the day I failed that test..............my PM provider that I have been seeing for 8 years does a urine test randomly but sometimes every month.........then in August of 2017 after I disclosed my bipolar as a disability to try and keep my job of 18 years...... my boss stormed into my office 3 days after a meeting with the Board and said stop and get in my car to get a drug test..................this was the first drug test I had to take ever.....didn't even have to get drug tested when Iwas hired back in2003 ..........and that one was finel............so I have drank 5 bottles of Benadryl in the past 4 days for itching and rash...................can this be the reason for false positive for methodone/??
