Risperdal isn't going to cause a false positive in a drug test because the medication does not caontain any of the drugs that are tested for during a drug test. Any drugs you are taking can possibly alter the effects of a drug test. To be safe disclose any doctor prescribed medicine to the lab that is going to test.

Risperdal isn't going to cause a false positive in a drug test because the medication does not contain any of the drugs that are tested for during a drug test. There are no amphetamines, nor are there any narcotics in this medication.

Any drug your are taking can possibly alter the effects of a drug test. To be safe disclose any doctor prescribed medicine to the lab that is doing the testing. Do not wait to see if the results come back positive, the more they know the better for you. Something as simple as poppy seeds can give a false positive.
