Answers:
anxiety meds, or benzodiazipines will very definitely show up in a drug test, not so much antidepressants. But if you have a prescription for such medication, you simply have to list them and show your prescription labels, and the testing lab will ignore those results.Health Question & Answer
My sister is on Effexor (venlafaxine) and anxiety meds. She tested positive on a drug test for PCP, which she has never touched. It was later ruled it was a false postive due to the Effexor. So yes, it is possible, although I don't know which prescription drugs cause which false positives.Health Question & Answer
Dont worry about it. They are looking for illegal substances. If you have a prescription it's obviously legal even if it did show up. You can't get in trouble for taking a prescribed medicine.Health Question & Answer
