Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my son was given too much teretol 1200 mg by accident his pills are 200 mg he useally takes 2 tablets twice a day his toxic panel came back positive for meth he is special needs he is requires total care he is does not take anything but his meds tegretol 200mg twice a day and depakote 125 mg 6 capsules twice a day would that extra amount of tegretol cause a false positve
No, Tegretol and Depakote are both unrelated to methamphetamine and cannot be responsible for a false positive reaction for meth. The amount of dose is not likely to make a difference.
Best wishes.
