I am Female, I have type 1 diabetes, Hepatitas C, and siezure disorder. I am on insulin, topomax, prozac, zelnorm, zantac, lasix, klor-con, albuterol, ultramm, a multi-vitamin and an over the counter diet pill. I eat normal foods, and drink alot of diet coke, Propel water and green tea. I take over the counter pain meds and sinus meds when I need them. Can anyone give me a clue on what could be causing these results?

Are you serious with this question? you are atking meds like candyfor different reasons. some contain these opiates. You may have also eatten poppy seed bagels. Opium is made from poppy seeds.The diet pills may have small doses of opiates in them too.Ask your doctor to help you deduce where the opiates came form. he will know best.

Ultram is a synthetic opioid. That's probably why you tested positive for opiates?. The sinus meds might have caused a false positive on the methamphetamine. Pseudoephedrine, commonly used in decongestants is used to make methamphetamine. That's why it's now behind the pharmacy counter instead of out on the shelves. When you had the test, did you tell them everything you're taking? They should have taken them into account. Your doctor or pharmacist may be able to advise you. Good luck.

All of that crap you are taking has different things in them, such as the sinus meds, that give you a positive test for these things. Some meds react with others to form these things in your system. Sometimes, your doctor will not check the meds you are already taking before he/she prescribes another. Different medications taken together can cause very bad reactions.
I would talk to your doctor about all of this stuff you are taking. You may not have to take all of that. Maybe they can rearrange some things, and possibly give you less of a prescription overload.
I cannot believe you can even stand taking all of those things.

Ive heard before that nasal spray for sinuses sometimes contain opiates. If not that then it would definatly have to all the prescriptions. The meth is definitly the prescriptions.
Just a side note to the other that answered this question, Stop freaking out. Shes not a drug addict just because she has a couple disorders. You'd think the way people talk about prescription medicine here its equivalent to crack. Drug are good, except the ones that arent.

What about the Ultram? Maybe it is causing you to have a false reading.
You have a seizure disorder, yet you are taking Prozac and Ultram, and this is a side effect. I think you should consult with your pharmacist about what you are taking. Some of the drugs can counter act with some of the others you are taking, and some of these taken together can be a very dangerous combination.

The diet pill is the culprit. Does your doctor know you're taking that? With all your issues you should not take it without him knowing or you could be looking at trouble. Check with your doc.

Sinus meds contain a small amount of opiates.

I think you answered your own question by stating all the med your taking.

Because you're popping pills that contain these substances.
