Can Over the Counter Cold Meds Cause a False Positive for Meth-Aphetamine?..not Crystalmeth-AM-Phetamine?

Published May 30, 2010

on a drug recent urine drug screen i tested positive for Meth-a-phetamine ..and i have NEVER EVER done crystal meth-AM-phetamine..and i was furious !! so i called the laboratory and grilled them over how this could happen..and the lady told me that Meth-A-phetamine is not “crystal-meth-AM-phetamine” and that many over the counter cold meds will make a person test positive for this CLASS of drugs..is this true?…i have a $4,000 emergency room bill that my insurance co is trying to denying because they wont cover any claim involving criminal activity..so im fighting this tooth and nail..Has anyone had a similar experience ? i was tested for 9 drugs Meth-A-phetamine,opiates,cocaine,THC,phencyclidine,benzodiazepines,barbituates,trycyclics, and AMphetamine and was negative on all except the methaphetamine…and the lady told me not to worry because it wasnt illegal..but im still very upset..PS i was never charged with any crime
