Buspar (busiprone) & False Positives - Yes, They Can Happen
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I've noticed a-lot of poeple out there are asking about buspar, & false postives.. as well as it's relation to xanax (alprazalam). Let me start off by saying that my husband is prescribed 15mg. buspar (I believe 1 3x a day) along w/some other drugs from his pyschologist such as ambien, and depacote. I can state that I took his buspar during a horrible anxiety/panic attack (also known as busiprone) and I also need to mention I go to a methadone clinic. After taking the buspar, I went to clinic to take my usual drug-screen (also let me mention I was receiving takehomes, only going once every 2 weeks as I'd never failed a drug test), thinking nothing of it as I'd read they don't show up as anything. Well, WRONG for me.. my drug test came back 100% positive for benzo's.. I had no xanax, valium, clonpazen(sorry about the spelling there) in my system, etc. My husband also had the same problem with one of his urine drug screen's at the methadone clinic we both attend for a postive on benzo's when all he had taken was buspar & ambien, which he both has valid prescriptions for. They broke both our tests down and they came back showing up as Nordiazepam, and Oxeazepam on both -- Unfortunately our clinic is under debate about them showing up because of the way the break-down showed up. All I can say is if anyone has ever had a false-positive for buspar, please let me know. I'm trying to prove to my clinic that in come cases they can show up, maybe it has to do with certain people. I dunno? But, it happened to me and my husband both.

I got popped positive yesterday and all I take is buspar and seroquel. they said I was positive for benzos but I do have a script for both and more.. they let me go because someone else was familiar with the false -positive effect from buspar. It was do to me walking funny. most people walk funny anyway. get my meaning!! now i'm subject to random drug test's which to my fault there is none.thanks for listening, rasta.

Yes i have had a false positive for benzos while taking buspirone. My therapist gave me a urine drug test and i was prescribed NO NARCOTICS. I had prescriptions for buspirone, ambien, depacote, lemictle and tested positive for benzos even though i had never taken any kind of benzo. It was later determined that the buspirone showed a false positive in my results.

My daughter tested positive for benzo's taking buspar. She is also currently detained for a violation of her probation because of it, now I'm left to prove it was her meds causing this false positive.

Ambien IS a benzodiazapine. If you ingest a, "benzo," you fill fail for, "benzos."

I have the same problem showing Benzo's in my urine after taking Busbar. The office is now refusing to give me any pain meds at all. They refuse to even consider anyother medications could cause this false positive. The opioid crisis has caused so many problems for those of us that truly need medications. My quality of life has just ended, back to nothing but pain e everyday all day.
