What Does Positive Report For Barbiturates Mean?
I just recently had to take a urine drug test for a new job and they called me with the results yesterday and I am freaking out. I do not take drugs, however, the night before the test I had EXTREME cramps so I found 2 expired Lorcet 10/650mg in my medicine cabinet and remembered those were from when I broke my back a few years back and they were for pain, so I took them. Other than some midol the next morning and some health supplements, thats it. So now they are saying I tested positive for Barbiturates! Can that come from the Lorcet bc Hydrocodone is a biturate substance? I am so worried and I haven t done anything wrong. I don t know what to do

Hi,
There are ample evidence that some pain killers like ibuprofen, naproxen etc can give a false-positive barbiturate urine test. Therefore If you hadb't abused any othr drug, the only possible explanation is because of the pain killers you took
