Standard drug tests don't test for antipsychotics such as Seroquel. The only way they would test for it is if they sent it to a lab to specifically test for it, and I've never heard of that happening.
Thank you all for your helpful comments.
You're welcome jlynne, and sorry our little misunderstanding took your question sideways, LOL! You wouldn't believe the stories out there of false positives due to either a different drug in the system which the metabolites excreted from the body test similarly to the drugs being tested for occasionally, or from faulty dip tests. I think that if these dip tests are being used as standards for law enforcement, such as for drug court and probation, then these tests have to be held up to better manufacturing standards than is now common. But don't let that worry you too much. You *shouldn't* come up with a false positive, and if so, you can always tell them to send the urine sample they tested to a lab for better testing.
I totally agree. The anonymous person that precipitated this was totally paranoid. Was actually disturbing
I dont think it was about if they tested for seroquel. It was about seroquel showing up postive in drug tests as other drugs. ;)
I take 200mg of seroquel daily .
always - N
I agree with Kaismama, but quetiapine (Seroquel) - can cause false positives for Amphetamines. I know this from personal experience (10 years ago). I then asked for a Hair Follicle test, which I paid for.
Before they do the test tell them you are on Seroquel, have your script at hand and you will be fine.
Best of luck,
Seroquel isn't a controlled medication, so whether or not it would show, it won't be tested for.
Hello jlynne. Yes and no. It will depend on the grade of the drug test. What I name a standard test, no. Regards pledge
