No phenobarbital will though. I have been taking phenytoin for over 20 yrs and I have been on probation for the last 2 yrs and it has not come up. I take drug tests on a monthly basis.
Yes
no
No, Dilantin is a brand name of the drug phenytoin used to treat seizures. Benzodiazepines are used to treat anxiety. In some cases benzodiazepines are prescribed for muslce spasms and epilepsy (the conditions that might also be treated with Dilantin), but Dilantin is not a benzodiazepine.
I'm a little confused about the barbiturate test because there's no evidence either of those will cross react with the barbiturates test...but you should have tested positive for benzos because both of the drugs you are on are benzos.
Phenytoin is not a commonly tested drug in standard drug screening panels, so it is unlikely that it would trigger a false positive result in a drug test. However, confirmatory testing can distinguish between different drugs, including phenytoin, if necessary.
Sudogest, which contains pseudoephedrine, is not chemically related to barbiturates and typically would not cause a positive test result for barbiturates. However, some drug tests might have cross-reactivity or false positives due to the specific testing methods used. It's always best to inform the testing facility about any medications taken prior to a drug test. If there's any concern, retesting or using a more specific test can help clarify results.
No-I have been taking phenytoin for over 20 yrs and I am also on federal parole. i have been taking random drug tests for the last 2 yrs and I have not tested positive for anything illegal.
No.
Neurontin is not a barbiturate, so therefore it will not test positive as a barbiturate. Neurontin will not show up at all unless specifically tested for.
Ideally the test should be done a few hours after food intake to check how much phenytoin is absorbed or reduced due to food
.....yes.
