Common Questions and Answers about Methadone urine test
methadose
Don't worry about the silly test. If it's a urine test the medications will show up in your urine, especially the methadone. It has a very long half life. Please reconsider the way you are taking your medication and be honest with your self and the doctors. You will be much better off in the short and long run. good luck.
I took a urine test at my doctors as i do once a month to re4ceive my precription of oxycodone, an naproxen for my bad hip problem do to installing carpet and flooring for 31 years. problem is they said i tested positive for methadone. wich ive never taken although i did take a sip of cough syrup that said on the label prometh /vc codeine syrup could this be mistaken for methadone. i had the normal oxycodone in my system.
When they test for M'done in urine (at least on a clinic) they test for it's metabolite (called EDDP for short) & it's ratio to creatinine levels,
There is a drug called Bentyl (Dicycloverine) prescribed for IBS that can potentially cause a false positive. There may be others too. It also depends on how good the lab is that is doing the testing. Sometimes there's sloppy work or cross-contamination, particularly in the 'collection' phase.
I'd request a retest.
They can tell the urine is either old or not yours if they test it with the right test. You may get past this okay - but it won't be with your urine. I doubt that med help would like it if I tried to tell you how to beat the test................
m on methadone and at the end of the visit my dr told me I had to do a urine test. So he wrote me my scripts and then on my way out I had to go pee in the cup, then I paid and left. So what I'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?
Urine test will tend to be longer, but not by much. I did some further reading for you and consulting other colleagues. Benzos CAN show up in the urine for as long as 6 weeks after chronic, prolonged use, but no longer then 48 hours in blood.
Methadone will only show for 24 hours in blood and no longer then 3 days in urine after last dose. So I think someone may be not quite truthful with you. I feel bad for her kids. You can send her to detox at my clinic.
Anyhow I go bi-monthly in December they gave me a urine test. The only things I took was my Methadone which they prescribe me and 3-4 days back took a 30mg roxy and a 1mg xanex which is not prescribed to me.
So took the oxy on Thursday & the Xanex on Friday or Saturday and my urine test at the pain management was the following Monday.
After all the years i've always seen my Dr.
i have been told several stories concerning whether klonipin will give a positive result in a urine benzo test. i am going to be tested randomly and am taking klonipin, having switched from xanax, and was told that the klonipin would not show up in the test for benzos. i need medication for anxiety and am currently undergoing daily methadone maintanence and am not supposed to have benzos in my system.
You have hepC? I don't think that would mess up a urine test. Insist on another one. Labs aren't perfect. My hubby had HCV for 40 years. His developed into Primary Liver Cancer. Got a liver transplant and did the old TX of Interferon. Relapsed. Did Harvoni 2 years ago and he's cured. He had MANY blood and urine tests. He took a LOT of pain meds. Nothing weird ever showed up.I'm pretty sure HCV doesn't even show up in a urine test!
well I was on methadone for 7yrs and one of my urin test came back positive for cocaine ....I never liked coke and dident do it ...I had the same thing happen they pulled my take homes and in order to clear it up I had to pay 20 bucks to get the original sample retested and it came back ok...since it was there fault I asked for my 20 bucks back but never got it if your clean dont worrie about it everything will be fine once they retest it.............
Im gonna end up going threw horrible withdrawl soon and Im scared to death. Im on Methadone and Vicodin and He just Cut me off after one test comming back Negitive and I dont understand how it could. He called me a lyer and told me to never come back to his office. But there is no other Pain clinic in the area. WHAT WOULD CAUSE THE RESULTS TO COME BACK NEGITIVE when I TAKE THE MEDS????
i was urine tested several weeks ago and passed then they came back and said i had eddp-ms in my urine which is methadone metabolites but i havent taken metadone i am however on several medications for bi-polar dissorder and was wondering what if anything would cause me to test positive for the metabolites but not the methadone
I am addicted to hydrocodone, i will be given a drug test to check for opiates and i was wondering how long will it take to get this painkiller out of my system, and what can i do to make it happen faster. also i want to know what the easier way to get off them is?
What kind of test did they do? Did they dip in the urine or send it out? I see this happening all the time. One person on here put a Journal up describing all the OTC things and some foods that can come up showing drugs that we did not take. BTW I am almost 3 and a half yrs clean off of a 12 yr ride on Methadone. I had some of those test done in the office for other reasons and one came up as POT!! Right, my pot days where way back in the 60s-70s..
In June, I tested positive for Methadone. The doctor sent out the urine to be retested at a lab, and it was still positive. He dismissed this, and did not kick me out of the program. Now, in November, I tested positive again. I have not had any Methadone since February. I have read that Methadone stays in your liver and fat cells. I have lost 50 lbs since I got onto Suboxone. That is the only reason I can think that it would cause this?
I am currently on Zomorph from Methadone, I used to self medicate my anxiety and stress with Heroin and about 3 months ago I stopped the methadone and heron completely, no more using on top of the methadone. I was on 90ml of methadone, and now I am on 600mg of zomorph.
I used to inject, but I have never shared with anyone or used around anyone else.
Standing around talking to someone I felt something brush my leg and, low and behold there was a small prick mark there.
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.
Does Klonopin show up differently in a urine test than Xanax? I Know, it'll show as a benzo...but then it is sent to a lab, what happens then? Do they show up differently?
What is causing the false positive for methadone? The urine test was done by an 11 panel urine tester. Can I ask for blood test? It ***** to be accused of something you have not done. The only difference in the last 2 years is that Lycra 50 mg 3x day and IB Profin every other day, I just started these 2 drugs in the last 4-5 weeks......that is the only difference.
The most common urine drug test is a 5-Panel Drug Test, or “SAMHSA1-5”, that screens for 5 categories of drugs:
Marijuana (THC)
Cocaine
Amphetamines/Methamphetamines
Opiates2
Phencyclidine (PCP)
1 SAMHSA, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, sets guidelines for federal government drug testing programs.
2 codeine, morphine, hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), hydromorphone (e.g., Dilaudid), oxycodone (e.g., Percodan) and oxymorphone (e.g.
ive been in a pain managment for over 8 yrs, ive been on methadone 25 mgs a day...i took a urine test and it came back negative?? ive never NOT taken this med as the pain and wd are inhuman...but she wouldnt give me a refill, and i cant get into a new pm for about a week and a half. Im on day 4 of not sleeping, not eating, dry heaves, shakes, diahrea, resltless legs etc, i cannot believe they are allowed to do this, if i were diabetic, would they take my meds?
t see anywhere that you said you were stopping. You are talking about a urine test. It is often uncomfortable for the members here to talk about dosing and the like. Members here are very fragile. I hope you understand what I mean. Please ask MedHelp to move this post to the Pain Management community and you will find your answers there. Best of luck.
If a GC-MS method was used (gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry) to detect the quantity of methadone metabolite in urine then any levels above 300ng/mL indicate methadone abuse. The results also depend on the dose and timing of the test. So, if you have been prescribed six 15mg tab per day by your doctor, it can be taken as a normal result. However, if you are not prescribed this dose by your doctor, then the result will be considered suspicious of overdosing. Please discuss with your doctor.
It took me back in the office and told me a threw up a red flag and that they have patients who are selling their drugs and taking a methadone when asked to take a test and then drink water till it is in your system before giving a sample. I did not urinate until 805 pm. A lot of the time I don't urinate much and I think constipation has something to do with it. As soon as I can get the
stool to move a little bit three or four times I can usually urinate but have to sit down......
I was on heroin and then started taking methadone. Got into some legal trouble and knew I needed to get clean to avovid jail. I have 2 to 3 weeks before court so I went to a doctor to get on siboxone cause I heard it doesn't show up on opiod drug tests. After my 3rd attempt, failed again. Each time I was sent into immeditately near death withdrawals. I want to just give up and go back to methadone but if I get drug tested through court it will show up.
