Best Answer

OTC sleep aids with diphenhydramine will throw a false positive for benzos on an EMIT machine if you take a lot of them. There are a couple of things that will do it, but when you show a false positive it'll be on a dip stick test or an EMIT machine--a GC/MS can tell between benzos and non-benzos.

Are hydrocodones a barbiturate or an opiate?

Benzodiazepines are drugs with sedative qualities used to treat muscle spasms, convulsions, anxiety, and alcohol withdrawal. This is not the class of drugs that hydrocodone falls under. Hydrocodone is a opiate agonist, antitussive used in the treatment of mild to moderate pain. The drug is considered to have similar sedative qualities in larger doses, but the recreational use is deterred due to the high content of acetaminophen.


Can you take Benzonatate with Zyrtec?

Benzonatate is used for cough. It may cause drowsiness in some people. It should never be chewed and should always be swallowed whole. I assume the other drug your are asking about is clonazepam (Klonopin). It is a benzodiazepine. It, too, causes drowsiness. Other than the increased drowsiness from taking both of these agents together, there are no clinically significant interactions.
