Will Nyquil Cough show up on a drug test?

I was just informed that I have to take a drug test at a random, unannounced time this summer. I take the Cough variety Nyquil, NOT the Cold and Flu kind, for mild insomnia (I don't want teh side effects of the prescription drugs) and allergies. I think the active ingredients are Doxylamine Succinate as the antihistamine and Dextromethorphan HBr as the cough suppressant. Will these show up on a drug test?

Update:

I believe it's a urine test, probably an EMIT.

    Yes. it shows up as a depressant even though it is not. Its called a false positive. If my doc is testing you then you are finished. He doesn't care if its a false positive or not, you ain't getting no methadone if he detects any cheating.
