It can happen... kind of.

There are certain things that can interfere with a drug test and show a false positive (false negatives, not so much, so don't get your hopes up).

There are, from a chemical standpoint, essentially two types of "drug test". There are quick, relatively cheap "screening tests" like immunoassays, and then there are more expensive, more specific chromatographic tests. You can test positive on the first for drugs you didn't take. On the second... not really.

There are some drugs that are chemically almost identical, and that are turned by your body into exactly the same metabolites, so even a chromatographic test may not be able to unambiguously distinguish whether you took, say, morphine or heroin. But if they're that closely related chemically, they almost certainly have essentially the same effect and if one of them is illegal, the other one probably is as well.

Will abilify make you test positive for benzos?

No, Abilify (aripiprazole) is not a benzodiazepine and typically does not cause a positive drug test for benzodiazepines. However, drug tests can vary in their specificity, and false positives can occur with certain medications. If you are concerned about drug testing, it's best to inform the testing facility about all medications you are taking.

Does sudogest test positive for Methamphetamine?

Sudogest, which contains pseudoephedrine, does not test positive for methamphetamine on standard drug tests. However, pseudoephedrine can sometimes lead to false positives for amphetamines in certain tests. It's important to inform testing personnel about any medications taken prior to drug testing to avoid confusion. Always consult with a healthcare professional regarding medication and drug testing concerns.

Does morphine and hydrocodone show up the same on drug test?

I'm not sure if the test would specifically test for Hydrocodone, it would most likely test for opiates, which are in both Hydrocodone and Morphine. So in short, yes, if the drug test is testing for opiates in your system, both Hydrocodone and Morphine will cause a positive for opiates.
