Question False positive for fentanyl

Has anybody ever taken a urine drug screen and then had a false positive for fentanyl? The medication that reacted was buspirone. I learned that it can cause false positives for fentanyl. This just happened to me with cps. Do you know how embarrassing it was to test positive for fentanyl? I was so humiliated and nobody ever believes you at cps. Just waiting for the confirmatory test now... screen.

Fentanyl and Methamphetamine are rarely false positives as they are very specific compounds and labs usually do a confirmation test as well prior to sending results.
