Hey.. so I was prescribed gabapentin years ago, and now I’m seeing a pain management doc and will be tested this Saturday. I took a gabapentin 300mg last night & one tonight just to help me sleep. I didn’t even think about it showing up or being tested for.. I hate the way it makes me feel so I can’t imagine why anyone would abuse it. But then again I can’t imagine why people abuse a lot of things. Anyway.. if I don’t take anymore should I be good? I read somewhere that it’s out of your system 3 days after taking last??? Anyone know? Thanks!
I take Neurontin and have for years and it has never caused a false positive anything in a drug screen. My employer does random drug screens so often that with 725 employees we are pretty much tested at least three times a year each!
That is true I'm glad someone tells the truth on here
Neurontin should not show up as a false positive for benzo. The chemical structure is sigificantly different than that of benzos. It is becoming more commonly tested for these days though since more and more people are using this medication recreationally.
I agree with you
yes it will.I have first hand been a user of gabapentins and they will show up as a false positive for lsd.I had to stop taking them.
Will not show any false positive unless you talking something else
dont get to cocky there toxic .. The myth that LSD is in your spinal fluid is infact that a myth.
You all have no clue what you talking about. At least make some sense when writing these lies
Christopher you are right!!!
Yes. It can cause false positives. If you're required to take Neurontin, take your prescription with you the day of testing. I don't know what it will show up as, but I suspect it might appear under the PCP/LSD or stimulant type drug band of most testing kits. (But, I could be wrong on that.) It shouldn't show up as weed or opiates. How long, I think, would depend on how long you've been taking it. Anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. If your employer has a problem with that, get a note from your MD stating the cause of a false positive. BTW, I had a false positive and it's a scary day in paradise! Best wishes for a clean stream, Goodnewsdoc
dude no offense but you have no clue what you're talking about. there is no test for PCP or LSD. the only way they can test for LSD is through a spinal tap and that is illegal. Why dont you do some research before you start answering questions that you dont know the answer to.
I take a drug test every week, and they use a 10 panel and send it to the lab. The panel test tests for pcp.\lsd. The test also tests for gabipenten(probably spelled wrong) the generic for Neurontin. I have never had a spinal, that's probably one way to tell, but not the only one. My friend Chris has to take a regular 13 panel drug test I need to know wether Neurontin will be on his test or not.
I agree buddy,they have no idea what they are talking about
