Common Questions and Answers about Methadone and urine tests

methadose

Avatar n tn I wondered that, and also different types of opiates such as t3/or hydro codiene and percaset..do they show differentlly on tests? if sent to A parole officers' labe? My friend uses alot of these because of a job related injury...sometimes he needs more or less and he says his PO is counting his perscriptions!! If he replaced them will he get in trouble? It would be a shame, he's a good kid.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn As with heroin and all other opiates, methadone tolerance and methadone dependence usually develop with repeated doses. Tolerance to Methadone administered in a pain-control program usually occurs during the first few weeks of use; whereas respiratory depression, sedation, and nausea can be seen immediately.
1094413 tn?1257260160 do u know what kind of drug screenings they use for infants if its the meconium or urine,i read that the meconium will show up anything as early as the first 20 weeks and the urine not long at all,i take urine test every two weeks and have never had a negative!
Avatar m tn 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!
Avatar f tn i take 300 mg a day for various pain. now, 3 times my urine has shown methadone in it. i have never taken any methadone. telling a meth clinic this and swearing on my life holds no water if you know what i mean. has this ever happened to anyone and if so what could cause this?
Avatar f tn Please help me find a doctor in Massachusetts that writes for methadone for my chronic pain and Ms my Dr was killed last year and now I had to go to methadone clinic and I have to go to work and can't keep doing meetings and standing in line for a dose but I'm in excruciating pain all day and night I can't sleep most nights I cry myself to sleep almost 90% of time
20717442 tn?1504533252 The doctor at my clinic says this is impossible, and of course now I have to do urine tests in front of a nurse. Its frustrating to me that this has to happen, as over the 20 years, it has happened 4x. what are the chances that it will happen again while being watched. ? I mean 4x in 20 years is NOT alot. I have nothing to hide and have no problem testing in front of a nurse. But I know I've heard of this happening to others. So frustrating...anyone else have negative methadone tests?
Avatar f tn I have already caught him once mixing klonopin and his methadone. But I am still very suspicious that he has do so over the week end at his parents house. I was just wondering if you could advise me as to what signs to watch for if I don't catch him right away. Like what the normal side effects within a day or two after that I would be looking for.
Avatar f tn i need medication for anxiety and am currently undergoing daily methadone maintanence and am not supposed to have benzos in my system. so i would like to know if it safe for me to take the klonipin with out suffering repurcussions with my methadone treatment.
Avatar f tn I am tested for schedule I and II meds like, Methadone, Oxycodone, hydrocodone and cannabis etc. The results of these tests are posted in my medical record and I am able to view portions of it myself online. I always test positive for oxy and cannabis, because those are the scheduled meds that I use for pain. I have a great doc and she is very compassionate. But she follows her role in prescribing my pain meds to a tee as she could lose her license if she did not.
Avatar n tn I have earned a month worth of take homes n have had them for a very long time. There has been 4 occassions now that my urine tests come back positive for methadone but no methadone metabolite. This has occurred even when I was getting dosed daily at the clinic. The clinic took all my take homes because they said if I was taking my methadone the metabolite would show up. I have never in the 6yrs in the clinic, ever missed a single dose. How is this possible?
Avatar f tn I've had 5 kiddos, and pregnant with 6th now. Urine tests aren't needed and actually not the norm unless you are having frequent bladder infections.

Avatar n tn why would anyone filter drugs thru urine? i have hep C and i would never filter drugs thru urine. it seems like a difficult thing to do. very messy. be sure to wash up after. i guess it can be done in an hour or so.
Avatar n tn i had the normal oxycodone in my system. could the meth in prometh and the done in oxycodone show up as methadone , it oviosly can because i didnt take any methadon.please reply asap.
Avatar f tn When I went back in the next month, I failed the urine test so was told I would have to start having counts and more urine tests. I really started researching all my options on how to get off the meds. It was costing me hundreds a week just to keep from getting sick and my Husband was unaware of how much money I was actually spending on them. I was taking stuff to the pawn shop to get cash....writing bad checks but paying the bank fees to get cash...
Avatar f tn Hello, The various tests of multiple myloma are complete blood count(may show a low white or red blood cell count),complete urine examination(elevated proteins and Bence Jones proteins are typical.) , serum and urine electrophoresis , ionized calcium levels in blood and urine,x-rays bones and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. A newer blood test called the Freelite diagnostic assay can also be used to diagnose and monitor multiple myeloma. Hope it helps.
938326 tn?1300878804 I noticed on the form amongst everything that was checked off, there was urine-chemical and then the urine for the infection..cant remember what it was for the technical name now. Why would they be doing a chemical test? I am feeling very offended at this time as I feel they are checking for drugs in my system. Can anyone tell me what its for, if not for that? I called the dr.

714288 tn?1243254191 lol Maybe someone else can tell you their experience on cymbalta without the methadone and you can improvise accordingly. good luck http://www.cymbaltawithdrawal.
Avatar n tn The only reason I am on here is because I went to planned parenthood last week and had a 17 week or 4 month rapid test done and was neg but they took a urine sample and said there was an infection present in my urine but could not tell me what it was. I have taken 2 rounds of doxycycline prescribed by a dr. and there is still an infection present 4 months after this encounter. I have a couple questions which are: 1.) Is a 17 week unigold rapid finger prick 100% reliable and conclusive? 2.
Avatar f tn The doc said that she makes the decision of whether or not he is good candidate My question is many people at methadone clinics have hep c and continue their methadone treatment saying that it helps. Is this proven medical fact?? Will dr write for meds like methadone to help a patient going through hepatitis C treatment or is this for the Methadone clinics only that you go to and pay?
