Can Intake Of Gabapentin Cause Positive Result For Benzos In U A Test?
I am a Diabetic and my Doctor recently prescribed me Gabapentin 300mg. Last Thursday I was given a random U.A. by my employer. I showed positive for benzos!! I have never failed a U.A. prior to this. I do not take Benzos recreationally and I have never been prescribed any. This is a great job with a LARGE income. I would never do anything to jeapordize that. Could my new prescription have caused me to show positive for benzos? I have an appt. with my Physician to ask him the same question but the earliest I could see him is next Friday!! I am hoping you could answer my question in advance of my appointment.
