[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 485227, member: 3493"] I DID tell them about the Protonix straight away. The false positive was not why because that possibility did not occur to me. I always disclose all medications so she or my child or whoever can get appropriate treatment. The ER had a bunch of pamphlets and one of them said Protonix, etc. could cause nausea and dizziness (both of which my aunt also complained of) as well as mood alterations as extreme as what happened here. I showed the pamphlet to the doctor and he told me that "Protonix is definitely NOT the cause of your aunt's issues!" The Xanax tested negative, by the way. The pamphlet did not address the false positive issue. I am thinking that since the reported false positives seem more common in older people that there may be something about how their bodies metabolize it. Thanks for asking about my aunt. We visited her tonight and she was back to her feisty self. She laughed and said the nurses were all asking her about her drug dealer. She told them she remembered "Reefer Madness" when it first came out! I am going to have my gastro guy, who has privileges at this hospital, do a consult on her and see if there's another medication or treatment for her GERD instead of Protonix. I also want her to have a colonoscopy at the hospital because she has never had one! I did not find any indication of a drug interaction with her BiPolar (BP) medications, but the hospital knew about that pill as well as her thyroid medications. [/QUOTE]
