Check this link. Has a list of drugs that can cause a false positive.

What medications can cause a false positive for methamphetamines?

Turns out hypertension beta blockers do. I provided evidence with my doctors notes internet information and my ki d t of medicine still won't let me finish testing for my cdl despite sending me an email saying to come back. I hired a wrongful termination lawyer they're handling it now..

A false-positive test result means that your drug test shows the presence of a medication or substance that you aren't actually taking. For example, a methamphetamine test comes back positive for methamphetamines, even though you haven't taken any.

False-positive results can be due to a laboratory error, but the most common reason for a false-positive methamphetamine test is other medications or substances that have a similar structure to methamphetamine.

Immunoassay testing for methamphetamine uses antibodies to look for certain drug metabolites (these are the compounds a drug breaks down into), and is the most common test used for initial screening. However, these antibodies may detect drug metabolites with similar structure and characteristics to methamphetamine, leading to false-positive results. For this reason, immunoassay testing should only be considered preliminary and should be followed up by confirmatory testing whenever a test comes back positive. Confirmatory tests are much more specific, but are costly, take more time, and require experienced laboratory personnel. They can distinguish between the l- and d-isomers of methamphetamine (only the d-isomer is psychoactive and illegal).

Usually, an immunoassay screening test for methamphetamine is a methamphetamine/amphetamine combined test, so will detect any medication or substance that resembles methamphetamine OR amphetamine. Medications that have been reported to cause false-positive results for methamphetamine or amphetamine include:

Amantadine, a drug that can prevent the flu and treat symptoms of Parkinson’s disease

Aripiprazole, an antipsychotic drug

Atomoxetine, an ADHD treatment

Brompheniramine, an antihistamine

Bupropion, an antidepressant

Chlorpromazine, an antipsychotic drug

Desipramine, an antidepressant

DMAA (1,3-dimethylamylamine), found in some dietary and weight-loss supplements

Ephedrine, a medication that treats low blood pressure from other medications

Fenofibrate, a cholesterol-lowering medication

Fluoxetine, an antidepressant

Labetalol, a blood pressure-lowering drug

Metformin, a diabetes medication

Nefazodone, an antidepressant

Ofloxacin, an antibiotic used to treat ear infections

Promethazine, a drug that treats allergies and/or motion sickness

Pseudoephedrine, a decongestant

Ranitidine, a drug used for ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (discontinued in 2020)

Phentermine, a weight loss drug

Phenylephrine, a decongestant

Selegiline, a drug for Parkinson's disease or depression

Trazodone, an antidepressant/sedative

Thioridazine, an antipsychotic drug

Vicks Inhaler, contains l-methamphetamine, an isomer of methamphetamine useful for nasal congestion that is legal because it has little activity in the brain.

This is why they ask you what meds you are on. If you disclosed it, and they kicked you out because you tested positive, you MIGHT have a valid reason to sue them...

I did before I attended school and I have retained a lawyer in contingency

I’m no doctor, but I’ve never heard of BP medication causing a positive for meth on a hair test.

Usually only trucking schools will rent a semi-truck and trailer to someone for a CDL test. I've seen some businesses in TX rent trucks for a CDL test, but it's not very common. Penske and Hertz, for example, won't rent out a truck/trailer to some random stranger.
