Avatar m tn Welcome to the forum..I was in a methadone clinic here in Michigan...we were allowed to take pretty much anything if we had a rx for it..That is unfortunate that they don;t allow that..i am sorry..does your friend that gave you the "sample" take methadone? they tested for it at the clinic i was at to make sure it was in fact in your system..you need to really makes sure it is the right temp...I understand how bad it sux to not have take homes..Do you get a week?
Avatar n tn Susie ,when you give a urine-test as required for all methadone patients the Dr. will definitely inquire as to the reason your using methadone and benzodiazepines as the people before said,people can overdose and die of respiratory failure as the two act in a sinergistic manner. Be careful!!!
Avatar f tn Ask for a blood test. It is the most accurate. Are you looking to come off of Suboxone?

Avatar f tn I KNOW THIS FOR A FACT. I AM ON METHADONE FOR BACK PAIN AND WENT IN FOR A DRUG TEST AND IT DID NOT SHOW UP IN THE OPIATE CATAGORY; AND EVEN MY DR THAT PRESCRIBED IT DID NOT KNOW THIS. IT IS A MAN MADE NARCOTIC AND THAT IS WHY IT HAS TO BE TESTED FOR IN A DIFFERANT WAY. ASK IF YOUR DR KNOWS THAT. YOU CAN ASK SOMEONE THAT WORKS IN A LAB (THATS HOW I FOUND OUT) TO BE SURE FOR YOURSELF, BUT I KNOW IT FOR A FACT.
Avatar m tn I'm pretty sure methadone would deff show up in drug test. It's a strong long lasting drug.
Avatar f tn m asking is if something was wrong with my test would they call me back that same day or even the next day to come in and discuss it or would he discuss it with me at my next visit? And he told me it was for insurance reasons and stuff and he just needed to make sure that what I was supposed to be on was there and nothing illegal showed up. Can a basic urine cup test show all that. Thank u in advance to anyone who can help.
Avatar n tn depends on how many and how long you've been taking it.......lots of water exercise, metabolism are all factors........stays in the system for a few days......a good week and you should be fine......I hope. When is your test and how many and how long? Nauty............
1264367 tn?1408104163 I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch. I also have a hernia in my stomach which causes me to have tons more acid then normal. Every three months I get very painful and violent episodes of vomiting sulfur and last week for the first time ever it was also bright yellow bile. My stomach is in extreme pain when I'm about to start getting sick. I'm just so sick and tired.
Avatar n tn Sometimes we can take a medication such as penicillin (or in your case Methadone) for a number of years and all of a sudden our system develops an allergy to it. It is my understanding that this is a new prescription and you have not been on Meth for a long period of time. IF that is correct, you just began the Meth than until you have seen or discuss the rash with your prescribing physician STOP taking the Meth. The rash should not be from the two medications but anything is possible.
Avatar m tn boater, it's not the DEA that good pain doctors are worried about. In the past 10 years we've seen heart problems in some people who use methadone. So far these problems, which include death, are not well understood, but there is a correlation with methadone. I too had good results with methadone, and sometimes would like to return -- I was treated for 12 years, and rotated to other opiates 4 years ago. Personally, I'm going to wait until we get more information. Best wishes.

4597556 tn?1383305043 Hi every one i went to a mental doctor yesterday, he put me on prozack , i couldnt take that while i was on methadone, it was not to be used with methadone, for anyone thats still on methadone please, look up drug interactions when takeing methadone google med. interactions, there is alot of meds you cant take with methadone including some blood pressure meds.
Avatar f tn At least its not heroin but you should have tapered and then he runs a secret drug test on me. Am I just being oversensitive or is this inappropriate behavior from a doctor? I don't want to have to reestablish care with a new ob because I'm so far along but I feel uncomfortable in the office.
1428440 tn?1287390379 Hi everyone I have not around for a few weeks I have not been feeling to well. I am here for some ideas and advice. I went to the suboxone doctor on Monday and I tested positive for benzo's. I was stunned when the test came back positive. I have not taken anything that is any form of a benzo and the doctor says that not any of the medicines I am on could cause a positive test.
Avatar m tn THanks for the info, It doesnt show up on a 5 panel that includes testing for opiates, it has to be specially tested for and on the 10 panel they test for methadone and am worried that sub and methadone my show up the same on a test.
Avatar n tn Recently my DR, who prescribed the medications, had me take a urine drug test. If she is the one prescribing it, why would she order a drug screen?
Avatar n tn You are going to have a tough time with this leve of drugs are you taking all of these?
Avatar f tn suboxon can and does show up as an opiate on a drug screen however you have to specifically test for it, same with methadone, when i took someone close to me to get a drug test i was shocked that the professionals at a private doctors office that advertise drug screnings did not know that it took a specialty test, so we walked out and i went downtown to talk to an er doctor i used to work with, he gave my friend the test and sure enough suboxone was in her system, also when i was in a custody ba
Avatar n tn Apart from that, the dosage of the drug, its quality, and period and potency play an important role during the drug test. Urine test reveals positive result for 1-7 days. The half-life of drug is just 24-36 hours, and it may remain in your system from 7 hours to 52 hours. Half-life refers to the time taken to eliminate half of the drug’s effect; A drug takes 4-5 half lives to get expelled out of your system completely.
Avatar f tn I want to just give up and go back to methadone but if I get drug tested through court it will show up. If anyone has any advice that has been through a similar situation I would welcome ANY advice. I'm desparate and need help getting clean or at least getting around a court drug test. Someone please HELP ME!!!!!!
Avatar f tn Drug driving test seriously how can they do that? When drugs can remain in your system from 2-90 days depending on what it is and how much you do.
