Hi There
This can be a false positive test, because some of antidepressants or any painkiller . Just check with yourself if u have taken any other medication like ibruphan 24 hours before the test.
And you must show your prescription of Amitriptyline to the laboratory medical office , because they routinely perform so many UA to check if the candidate is addicted but if you will show him your Prescription for antidepressant he will give the report as Negative.
Good Luck
