Does Topamax and Buspar drugs give false positive in urine tests of drug addiction?

Answer Walaa Drug tests will only find what they are looking for, so if the test is designed to find drugs like Topamax or its metabolites then anyone taking it will show positive. However, neither drug is an opiate or benzodiazepine so tests for these should be negative. My recommendation to anyone who is subject to drug testing is to be able to provide evidence that the medication they are taking is legitimately prescribed by a doctor and has been obtained through appropriate channels. This will hopefully be sufficient to justify your position. Also, if you are taking a medication for a potentially serious condition such as epilepsy, then it would be advisable that you have advised your employer (via their medical / occupational health service). This gives you additional protection when challenged. I hope this helps.
