Can anything show a false positive for Tramadol in hair tests

Asked May 2, 2012, 08:17 PM — 20 Answers
I was tested for narcotics and perscription pain killers. I have had Hydrocodon and Tramodol perscribed in the last year. The test was supposed to go back 6 months. In that time I had taken the Hydrocodon 5 and 6 months ago and the tramadol more recently. Probably 4 months ago to just a month ago. The test did not pick up any of the Hydrocodon but did pick up the tramadol. The problem is that it showed a high level was taken. The amount was 5 times the normal usage and I didnt even have enough perscribed to me to have taken that much.
I didnt take that much and the people who tested can't tell me anything other than the amount is accurate and the timeline is an estimate of 6 months. I am trying to determin if there is a false reading for the tramadol because of the Hydrocodon or if there is something else that could have cause this high amount to be detected. A false reading from some other medication etc.

I got a copy of the test results today. I'll figure out how to post it later. Judge didn't even believe in its accuracy. He has had this guy in court before and has had issues with him as well.

Does that mean that nothing will come of it? Hope so

Nonetheless would love to see a complete copy of this just to see what occurred and what he was looking to demonstrate.

Dr. Bill I would like you to see it and see if you can help me figure out what he did wrong. I do have to go and see other doctors and specialists now to try and clarify this for the court.

I will have a copy Monday and will get back with you. I now have to spend more money and time away from work to do other tests etc. because of this and I need to do what I can to discredit this guy. He said he couldnt be accurate with any timeline to quantify an amount over a period of time yet he gave an affidavit to the court stating a high amount was found for the six months he tested! I was only perscribed 180 of the 50mil. Tramodol during this time and I didnt even take it all! I still have some left! He also charged me 350.00 and wanted 300.00 more to explain his findings! He is a crook!

Your help has been more than appreciated.

Forgot to mention that I didn't even get an actual copy of the lab report. All we had was his report so I had to request all the information he had be sent to my lawyer!

Provide me with his name by private message and I will check his license and accreditation. If the lab he operates has a separate ID provide that as well. That will also assist in contacting the appropriate agencies in order to get direct answers.

Does his report show his medical license and does he note that he is a Medical Review Officer, MRO?

If you don't have that just get me his full name, city and state and I'll run the MRO index.
