Tricyclics from Claritin-D showed up in my drug test. Now I'm suspended from school... ? Last Wednesday I was pulled out of gym (Period 3) and taken to the nurse, the nurse told me to walk a straight line and all that dumb crap. This all happened because i stayed up all night getting a project done and i was half asleep in my first 2 classes and some teacher thought i was on drugs. It ended up in me having to get a drug test. I was clean except for Alcohol and Tricyclics. The Alcohol was from NyQuil i took the previous night, and the Tricyclics I believe are from the Claritin-D i take every day for my allergies. They thought I was taking drugs and suspended me from school, planning to make me attend counseling. I went in today with my mom and talked with the principal and explained to him that the Tricyclics came from Claritin-D and he said ok and removed the suspension, but after school my mom got a phone call and said I'm suspended again, because they don't believe they are in it. What i showed him was this - Look on the box you'll see "Loratadine 10mg" - Read the first 8 words. Now scroll down or click on Mechanisms of action (Or go to ) now read the first 5 words. I am aware that Wikipedia is not a very credible website, but other websites say it as well. Now what I need to know is, how can I prove to them that the Tricyclics are in the Claritin-D that I take every day of my life, And that I'm not a drug addict and don't need to go to counseling? Arielle S, the school called an emergency room doctor and asked their school "doctor" and they both said that don't, but they have no proof. About the lawyer thing.. I'm going to get one before I get sent to counseling :) Jakylnn, Its OTC but i used to have it as a pre ion. Maybe I'll see if my pediatrician can do something about this.
