What Is The Cause For High Content Of Methadone In Urine When On Oxycontin And Valium?

I take several medications including OxyContin 40 and 15mg oxcodone , soma 350, I have.5 Xanax and 5 mg Valium I. Took a urine test and my urine showed high content of methadone. How can that happen??? I Also take wellbutrin cymbolta furosemide, pantaprozole,atorvastin,klor con,levoxathrine . I was so upset I asked for a new urine test right away. As I was searching for an answer I read about false positives, any chance a mixture of any of these could cause that.... I have had several urine tests before and I never had a problem.. Thank you , lynne

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is possible to have a false positive drug tests for different chemicals including methadone.
The drugs that can cause false positive methadone results. Some of these medications are verapamil, ibuprofen, doxylamine, quetiapine, chloropromazine, clomipramine, thioridazine,diphenydramine.

None of the medications that you currently use are known to cause false positive.
It is best, as you indicated, to have a repeat test done.

I hope this helps
