Does Adderall And Soma Give False Positive Results For Opiates?

Just came from ER says I test positive for benzodiazepine,opiates,thc and sympathomlmetic amines; I currently take adderal norco and soma. Are these considered benzodiazepine or opiates? Also what exactly is sympathomimetic amines? I also use lidoderm patches. Would that show up ad these things?

both soma and aderall are neither opioid nor benzodiazepines.. aderall contains amphetamine which is a type of sympathomimetic amine i. e. it activates sympathetic nervous system.. your test ideally shouldnt come positive for opioid and benzodiazepines. if it came then its false positive
