yeah those sudafed are better than they advertise...lol

Silly lady.....lol

I know drugs like Adipex will show pos but not sure about the sudafed.

contact poison control center or the lab.

i called the lab and they just laughed... silly people

Actually, I have heard of sudafed (or something similair) causing a false postive for amphetemines. It was a while ago, a doc told me. Something about "that's why they changed the ingredients because sudafed and other OTC meds were showing up in meth labs"???

I've personally never seen it, but I guess it's not above the realm of possibilty. That being said, if ol' girl was streaking through the produce section, I'd say there was more involved than a sudafed...."boogity boogity...don't look Ethel.." :yeah:

*I'm going to be really hurt if I'm the only one old enough to remember that Ray Stevens song...LOL!*

geez louise. They should know! Sorry about that. Maybe the poison center can help.

maybe i will call the poison control center when i get on shift tommrow... she was also on robaxin, which i hear shows up occasionally as amphetamines...

i know she has some major mental problems.... she still was stripping nude when i left work last night...

she just wants to streak and run.... free and easy....

maybe she was a nudist in a former life...

I remember that song too, so you are not the only one. :yeah:

lol..I'm 24 and I remember that song :yeah:

"Don't look Ethelllllllllllllll....."

We had a guy come in about 2 months ago, tested positive for opiates, and swore up and down it was a false positive from the protonix he was taking....

Of course, he didn't have a valid script for protonix, either....and it didn't explain his ETOH and THC levels being what they were. Perhaps they were false positives from his Cheetos....

Sudafed has pseudoephedrine - an ingredient used in making methamphetamines. This is why cold/allergy meds with pseudoephedrine are now kept behind the pharmacy counter and they practically search you and run a background check on you when you buy it.

As to the story about the woman.........too much trouble to speculate.
