Can Taking Zoloft And Oxycodone Cause False Positive Drug Test Result For Cocaine?

Hi. I am extremely distraught! I am currently going through a divorce and in court the judge had my husband and I do a fingernail test. I am currently in pain management and I am prescribed hydromorphone and oxycodone. I also get shots in my back once a month. My first test showed up 6-mam and my second test showed up for cocaine. I have not used either of these drugs but nobody believes me! Please help me!! I also take Zoloft and Soma. Thank you in advance! AK

Hi mam/ sir, there is a possibility to get false positive because of oxycodone, but it's not with Zoloft...
But there is nothing to panic...I advise you to repeat the drug assay with specific methods like gas chromatography...Which is little expensive compared to EIA which is less specific
