Most likely you have the wrong drug listed as what is showing in the drug screen... I don't believe that methadone would show in a drug screen for percocet. Percocet is made of two active ingredients, Tylenol and oxycodone. oxycodone is derived from morphine, so it is possible that morphine may show in the drug test when percocet is taken.

What can i take to testposative for methadone and does a test show how much you have taken?

You WANT to test positive for methadone without taking any? This is different. I don't know what your motivation here is and don't really want to theorize, but the easiest and most guaranteed way to test positive for methadone is to do methadone the morning of your test, if you know when it is. There's a fairly long list of drugs that cross-react with methadone; sadly they're all prescription-only. It's possible to do a test that will give serum concentration of methadone; it's a blood test so if you just pee in a cup all they can do is say you've taken the drug.

Can tramadol or trazadone cause a false positive methadone result on drud test?

While taking tramadol, I had two drug tests which came back positive for TRACES of methadone. My probation officer called up and asked if there was anything I wanted to tell her, and I said "about what?". Then she told me I had traces of methadone in my urine sample, and I told her there's no way, I haven't been near any methadone much less taken it. She let me slide since it was just traces and not a full positive, I guess. Then it happened again and I still gave her the same truthful answer -- no methadone taken. She told me if she finds out I'm lying to her, she won't have any mercy on me. And I was like sheesh what is going on here? After I stopped the tramadol, I didn't have that problem anymore.
