Well, decongestant nasal sprays are in the stimulant family, related to amphetamines. That's why you now have to sign for Sudafed tablets. (They can be used to create illegal stimulants.) But I didn't test positive for stimulants.

For my provider (who's not a doctor) to relate nasal spray to a false positive on benzos makes me wonder about her. Another problem is that I'm newly assigned to her, so she doesn't know me. So we have not built up a relationship, yet. Yesterday was just my second time seeing her.
