I have a friend that I know cannot and does not take Benzo's such as Xanax but she is on Lexapro. She also takes Suboxone so the Dr had to give her a level test to make sure she is taking her medicine. The test came back positive for Benzo's. The Dr said that is probably why it did that. Also I have found a few reliable websites that say the same thing that it can happen.

No. Only medication containing HCG will give you a false positive pregnancy test. See your doctor for confirmation.

I've seen it come up on a drug test as a Benzodiazepine [like xanax] even though it isn't that type of medication.

Can Paxil cause a false positive drug screen?

A number of things can cause a false positive drug screen. A screening test is generally inexpensive to run. Tests for specific compounds are generally more expensive. As a result, more people will get a false positive on a screening test than will get a positive on the more specific test. Still, it will cost a lot less money to run an inexpensive test and then an expensive test.


Will abilify and lexapro give a false positive for methamphetamine?

It is very unlikely for Abilify to cause a false positive on a drug screen for any other substance. Drug screens test for metabolites of specific drugs. All drug tests have a rating based on specificity and sensitivity. The higher the sensitivity, the lower the specificity. Basically it is only possible to have a false positive by using another drug that is very chemically similar to the positive test. Abilify (aripiprazole) is not chemically similar to commonly screened drugs of abuse.
