Question on drugscreen for benzo's

Howdy y'all -

have a legal question for you. 2 months ago, I rec'd a job offer pending a drugscreen (std practice). Since my start date was rather quick and training was involved, I was sent to the west coast for a week. Upon returning, I was called on a Sunday night by my new boss saying that my drugscreen was positive for benzo's specifically "SERAX". I never heard of this drug. After researching, I found that it is an old benzo and is hardly prescribed anymore. My local pharm said they don't have it on the shelf. I then realized that it was probably the valium (2-10mg pills) I took about 4-5 days previously. I know this sounds fishy but, in addition to 10/325 & soma, I take roughly 5-7 meds daily due to diabetes. I didn't remember initially. To make a long story short, I lost the job. After talking with my doc, old g/f (doc), 2 lab techs & 3 pharmacists they all said a urinalysis cannot distinguish between what type of benzo it is. I had scripts for everything. Funny thing is that the med review officer would never call me back.

Any help here???
