What Causes Restoril Or Tenazepam In Drug Screen While On Klonopin?

I take klonopin. I went to my dr. office and they said that they found restoril or tenazepam in my drug screen. I never heard of these meds before . Do they both have the same things in them ? I am sorry Dr. Grief I did not know it was going to cost 35.00.

hello user , these both medicines - clonazepam and temazepam belong to smae benzodiazepine class of drugs - so depending on the lab and method of test used , there may be some cross reactivity among both the two and your result came this way - ideally different metabolites are tested for them so they can be found out seperately however if you took chlordiapezoxide , diazepam or oxazepam somewhere around then temazepam can be detected due to them too . hope i answered your query - if satisfied please rate the answer
