Does lyrica test positivie in a urine drug screen?

Answer 1

no , it does not come up as a positive illegal drug. I take Lyrica and have to take weekly mouth swabs for drug testing, no UA, but still, it is not a drug that comes up as an opiate, benzo, etc

Answer 2

I can't find any actual evidence that it does, though I was able to find a study which reported that 0.13% of people taking Lyrica SELF-REPORTED a false positive from it. "Self-reported" is in all caps, because it's important; it may actually mean "0.13% of people taking Lyrica didn't want to admit that they were also shooting heroin". Also, by far the majority of even those so-called false positives happened several years ago, the rate has fallen off dramatically in the last couple of years ... this may be because the tests have improved, or it may be because everyone has realized nobody's buying the Lyrica story and have moved on to claiming something else caused the false positive.

The bottom line is that medical science marches on, and while "false positives" were common in early drug screens, the testing has gotten much more accurate. If you're on a prescription medication and you have to take a drug screening, inform the technician; if you're taking something that they know could potentially give a false positive, they can use a different and more accurate test that will not.

Answer 3

I don't think so.

I checked the LabCorp Comprehensive Drug Profile and it's not there. This is a VERY detailed test that looks for 250 different drugs--I assume most of the people who order it are trying to save someone who OD'd. This thing looks for caffeine. It does NOT look for Lyrica, which is a scheduled drug but because it's not very much fun it's Schedule V--the same as cough syrup.

Answer 4

No, lyrica is not tested for in drug screens, and it is not really even chemically related to other drugs that are tested for like benzos or barbituates.
