Is there any reason a drug test would be positive for barbituates after taking antibiotics? Could the combination of antibiotics and a local antistetic cause this??

As far as a screening test, many things can register as a false positive. Screening tests aren't designed to be a confirmation of barbiturates. Some folks are to cheap to follow it up with a confirmatory test. If you're certain you didn't take barbiturates, insist on a confirmatory test. Confirmatory tests are much more expensive, but rarely have false positives. Neither should register positive for Barbiturates in a confirmatory test.
Local anesthetics contain no barbiturates. Certainly antibiotics don't.

The anesthetic might be a barbituate of some kind. The antibiotics have nothing to do with it.

no - but next time eat a poppy seed muffin for breakfast and you will pop hot as poppies are the source for ------.
