Hi,

None of these medications (Xanax and Klonopin) are known to cause a 'false positive test' for amphetamines. There is no documented evidence that Xanax or Klonopin can show up as amphetamines in the urine samples. However, it can be ruled out by doing specific tests for amphetamines such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry tests (GC-MS).

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali, General & Family Physician
