Can Lamictal Prozac or lisinopril cause a false-positive screening for benzodiazepines?

No; absolutely not. Every single one of those medications listed are not only members of different chemical classes, but COMPLETELY structurally unrelated. Their metabolites will never be similar.
That said, Lisinopril is not even metabolized by the body. It is excreted through the urine completely unchanged.
It's still safe to list all current prescriptions prior to screenings and provide Rx numbers to avoid confusion. If you don't have a valid prescription for Benzodiazepines, I would recommend getting one through a pysch or a sympathetic internal medicine doctor. Get a small amount. It's too tempting to take more than prescribed and withdrawl is awful. But at least that way you have a valid prescription for a controlled drug.

Can lamictal cause false positive screening for opiates?
Can Lamictal or depakote cause false positive screening for opiates? I am not sure about it testing positive for opiates; however, Lamictal will show a positive reading on a PCP test. Until recently it was believed to be otherwise. I will provide the documented information and studies in a follow-up post.
Is pcp in keppra and lamitcal?
No. PCP is not in Lamictal (or any other medication in its class, for that matter). However, Lamictal can cause a false positive for PCP in a urine test. You really must disclose Lamictal when taking a urine test (such as pre-employment screening). According to HIPPA, the lab is not supposed to notify the company of any legitimate meds you are taking, so you should be able to keep your medical condition private.
