What Could Cause Positive Result For Benzos In Drug Test?

I just took a drug test today and it came back positive for Benzos. I do take Celexa and Trazodone every day. Could one of these drugs have caused a false positive for Benzos? I have been tested several times before today while I was still taking these same medications and nothing has shown up before but today for some reason that did. I am very concerned over this because I know in my heart that I did not do any kind of drug and really need some help looking into this!!! Thank you

Hi I did review your concern.
Celexa is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor and it can very rarely show a false positive benzodiazipine urine test. If you tell the testing authority that you are taking this medication then it is more likely that they will understand and help you out in this regard.

I hope this helps .
wish you all the best.
