My friend is a diagnosed alcholic, when she relapsed she was sent to an inpatient program. When she was discharged from that program she was prescribed Trazodone for sleep, and Hydroxizine for anxiety. She tested positive for benzodiazepines, and may now be facing a stay in a halfway house, due to this results. I believe that if they are not in the same family, that one or both of her prescribed meds could produce a false positive. Am I correct?
Yes... It's a benzodiazipine!
Trazodone is a prescription drug given out to treat depression. In an urine analysis it would should up as an antidepressant if it is tested for.
No, trazodone does not show up in urine as an amphetamine. Trazodone is an antidepressant that belongs to the class of serotonin antagonists and reuptake inhibitors, and it has a different chemical structure than amphetamines. Standard urine drug tests are designed to detect specific substances, and trazodone would typically be identified separately from amphetamines. However, false positives can occur, so confirmatory testing may be necessary if there are concerns.
if i take a drug test will my trazadone show as the same as xanax?
Trazodone is not a barbiturate, it is a serotonin antagonist and reuptake inhibitor (SARI) used to treat depression and anxiety. It should not typically show up as a barbiturate in a urine test, as barbiturates are a separate class of drugs that act on the central nervous system in a different way.
Yes. They are both benzodiazepines. They can, however, be differentiated by a GC/MS urine test.
No. Trazodone is a tetracyclic agent, not a benzodiazepine.
It has been recoded and verified in double-blind research experiments that Trazodone may show false positive benzodiazepine results on urine drug screens. The mechanism for this is not currently known; however, it appears that the metabolites of Trazodone may be similar to those of various benzodiazepines that are tested for on typical urine drug screens..
I don't know how it would. Trazodone mainly an anti-depressentt. It's not a narcotic. They can be used for anxiety and can have a calming, slightly tranquilizing effect. So where they may have the same calming effect, they're completely different drugs.
No. Anti-Psychotics don't show up as Benzodiazepines in a drug test.
Can WHAT drug show up positive in your question?
Yes.
