After your drug screen you have a chance to present any medications that you take to the doctor, if the combinations of all the meds you are taking could possibly be giving the result you have seen, then that will be noted and the test should be considered a false positive. This is only valid if the prescriptions are current and in your name and can be verified by the doctor who prescribed them to you.You can also request a split test (done by two different labs) to see if they will have a different result. I don't see how that combo is showing up as pcp, as a narcotic yes, as flat out pcp... i don't think so.

i would say its because they are narcotics but pcp is an hallucinogen. So i would probably ask your Doc.



Jackie

Because Tramadol shows up as pcp. It is considered a false positive. Make sure that you tell them that you are taking tramadol and show the prescription if necessary. As long as you have a script for them, they shouldn't be able to fire you based solely on that.

it doesnt come up positive for pcp it comes up negative positive, that meens they have no idea if youve taken it or no the drug test cannot detect it completely but finds some similarities. i know a person who almost overdosed on coricidin (tripple c's) and took it for months and when he got a test it came up poitive negative
