False positives do happen; however most professional companies repeat positive tests to exclude that possibility. However, cross reaction is far more likely (though you obviously didn't undergo a standard test if it turned up positive for darvon, this drug is not measured in the classical NIDA-5 drug test).
Cross reactions can happen between any similar chemical compounds. Darvon (proxyphene) is not chemically similar to other opioids, so I can't really explain it. If you have taken any other opioids (codeine, morphine, dextromethorphine etc) it could explain it.

The only thing that should show up as Darvon is Darvon. There is a possibility that your urine could have been mixed up with someone elses or contaminated. Or perhaps an ingredient in Darvon is a metabolite of something that you did take. I would ask to take a new test.

How about Darvocet, or Propoxy-N/APAP, 100-650.
Davocet (or the second) is a combinaton of Tylenol and Darvon. Darvocet is the script drug, and the Proposy..... is the generic. Both are painkillers.
