Possible, but very unlikely. Think about it, the companies that make drug tests and perform them are in the business of one thing only; to make sure that they can accurately test for drugs.

Would carbamazepine naproxen and cycobenzaprine and tremadol give a positive reading on a urinalisis for opiates?

Tramadol is not an opiate. It is an opioid, which is a synthetic opiate. It will not show up on a basic drug test. Naproxen will not give a false result for opiates on a drug test. It will give a false result for marijuana.

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.

Maybe, but even if Atripla showed up on a drug test, as long as there is a valid medical reason to take it (HIV infection), then there should be no problem. This is not a drug used for recreational purposes.


Does citalopram give a false positive drug test?

No, citalopram is a SSRI medicine. There is nothing addictive in it which could trigger a false positive test. If you truly feel that your drug test was in error, you can request a hair test, which will show drug use for longer than a urine test, and should prove the point for you.
