I suspect that my wife is mixing some kind of medicine in my food. She is an anesthesiologist so has knowledge and access to drugs. Day before yesterday I went to an emergency room and told the doctor about my suspicion (without saying whom I suspected). He ordered a urine test for commonly abused substances (full list of substances is below). The test came clear. The doctor said that I was having an anxiety attack and prescribed sleeping pills for 10 days. If the pills do not cure the symptoms, I have to consult a general physician and/or a psychiatrist.

My questions:
1) How difficult is it to beat the drug tests?
2) Are there drugs that can induce the symptoms I am having (listed below)?
3) Can I myself order more comprehensive tests (forensic or medical labs that will do tests without a doctor's prescriptions)?
----
The reason for my suspicion:
1) As an experiment, I did not eat dinner at home for two days. My symptoms became a lot less severe.
2) Once, after dinner was served I switched my plate with my wife's. She woke up in the middle of the night and did not sleep well.
I do not want to confront her directly because there is a possibility that I actually am suffering from acute anxiety.
----
My symptoms:
1) I have no trouble falling asleep, but everyday, I wake up after about 2 hours of sleep like clockwork. When I wake up, I am immediately fully alert like a switch has been turned on. There is no gradual, transitional process of "waking up".
2) After waking up, I do not feel sleepy for about 4-5 hours but I am confused and disoriented. After being awake for 4-5 hours, I slowly start feeling sleepy and drift into sleep. This sleep is very light and I see unusually high number of dreams. This sleep lasts for less than two hours.
3) During the day time I don't feel depressed but I am a little disoriented, tired and cannot focus at work. In the morning I wake up with a heavy head with sort of a "hangover". My condition is not like when I miss a night's sleep, but more like when I had too much to drink last night.
4) My appetite is suppressed (have lost about 8 pounds in two weeks).
There are other symptoms but my mail is already too long. And they may be due to lack of sleep rather than due to any drug.

There has been no traumatic, stressful or disturbing event in recent days. I have not switched home or job recently. (the doctor in ER asked these questions)

Urine drug tests (all came out negative):
Benzodiazepines
Cocaine
Amphetamines
THC
Opiates
Barbiturates

My suspicions are true or I am imagining things, either way I want to know. This state of uncertainty is tough for me.
Please answer:
1) How difficult is it to beat the drug tests?
2) Are there drugs that can induce the symptoms I am having (listed below)?
3) Can I myself order more comprehensive tests (forensic or medical labs that will do tests without a doctor's prescriptions)?
I will be greatly indebted to know the answeres.
