Ha ha mfurs..... well i was urin tested as a hospital employee and it was sent to lab. They found suboxin but to the b**** who said it she didnt know it was prescribed.

Subutex is the brand name. Bupernorphine is generic!

I have never had an issue with anyone testing for subs until I went to a court review hearing and they said I tested positive, I'm prescribed it though.

It depends. If its for a job, no. If its for probation or pain managment, yes.

Some job's HAVE to screen and then if found to be on ANY medication that has any adverse side effects.

If you're trying to apply for a CDL required position or any driving, hazmat or machinery handling position that your medicine could inhibit your responses and overall safety of yourself, coworkers and the public...they have an obligation to your medical history and your medication information.

For some positions you're required to not take the medication(s) hours prior to going in for work or having to drop all together. This includes any opiates and suboxone/subutex.

Ok "K BIZZLE" this may be true for honkey tonk Kentucky FOR THE MOMENT.

FYI when trying to insult someone's intelligence please at least use spellchecker.

And I didn't say anything about benzos, I cited info pertaining to BUPE.

Your intellect is beyond mine. Jeez.

And if your PO doesn't test for subs now they will soon. This is a fairly recent thing. Keep taking your chances and refusing advice from people who have been there, done it and just trying to give others struggling with addiction a heads up.

To be safe you should wait 12hrs-from the time you took opiate to first dose of suboxone. I have taken it early though, like 10hrs from last opiate use. My out-patient doc had said to wait 12hrs. It really does help a lot!

Suzz, this is how it reads: THC (12 PANEL CUP ONLY), COCAINE, OPIATES(3), AMPHETAMINES(4), METHAMPHETAMINE(4), PHENCYCLIDINE, MDMA(4), BARBITURATES(5), BENZODIAZEPINES(6), METHADONE, TRCYCLIC ANTIDEPRESSANTS(7), OXYCODONE(8).

So as u can see it doesnt list the ingrediants of the subs but it might show up as something else and in that case they had to test me again to test for subs specifically. If they are gona do that test from the begining for u, i dont know. But i hope this is some help.

Oh okay, I'd say you are on the safe side. I wouldn't worry at all. From experience you shouldn't be tested for bupe at all. Let us know what happens okay!

Did you have to take a drug screen for nursing school? And if so what did they test for? I just started nursing school and just stopped taking suboxone after 2 years so I'm scared I'll be kicked out the program.

Joe i can't tell you either way for sure if that particular office will test for it or not..the only premise I'm going by is that maybe the state itself supplies the same products to all of their regional judicial offices. BUT like me, i had been a couple months prior and they only had standard urine tests then and the last time I went it was a standard looking cup kit but it did test positive for bupe. I was able to look at it and it sure enough did have a result option for bupe....This may be something that's only going on in certain areas that have the extra funding or it could be the new precedent for all testing now. They always end up catching on tp our sly new ways eventually so I imagine it probably will be pretty standard across the country. If maybe you could call and ask anonymously what they test for, pretending you're a father of a probation client and you're concerned that they don't test for what you think he's abusing. Use a different phone, even if you block your number it will still ID it at any government or state office. Most court jurisdictions have their own website so Google it and see if they have any information on their probation protocols, most government offices usually have this info available to the public so they can look like they're keeping us criminal heathens in check with their misappropriated taxes...

Let us know please either way what happens! If they do test for it and you fail DENY, DENY, DENY. My greatest advice is to NEVER claim guilt.

Good luck Joe!

Chavezz, I would Google your information, local or otherwise and try to find out what they usually screen for.

Are you taking for a doctor, welfare, probation, drug court or something else? Although Suboxone screening is becoming more fluent, it still hasn't become that everywhere just yet. It all depends.

To find out, for example, if you're taking it for court, probation, drug court or the like, Google your county of residence, the local court jurisdiction you're in trouble with, and then what program your participating in.

My probation dept does now test for subs, I live in rural Ohio, after researching for Joe below, I found that most drug courts definitely do test for suboxone use. And the state of Maryland tests extensively for it.

If you have problems using search engines online, supply here what information you're comfortable saying and I can try to find out for you!

They did not test for it in willoughby court in lake county where I reside. It was 5 panel with the basics. I pounded water hoping to dilute it enough to where id be able to dispute or at least re take n then took b12 to give my urine color and has the worst stomach ache and full bladder n then they didnt even test for it. He said something about it being clear too n I told him that I take creatine (which I actually do) for working out and its effectiveness is based off water consumption (draws water into ur muscles to make them fuller) which I normally drink at least a gallon a day... but I drank 2 gallons the 3 hours previous... its weird bc I have a friend who goes to mentor court (one city over, also in lake county) and he told me they absolutely test for it bc they told him he did and he had to have his sister bring is script to the courthouse or they were going to violate him, hes basically the reason I was so worried bc he said, dude I'm on probation in mentor n if they test for it then willoughby does also... but mentor is a bigger city with more resources id imagine and a bigger probation dept than willoughby... I think a lot of it boils down to funding... I think even if ur not prescribed n u were illegally addicted to opiates and are only taking suboxone you should recieve a pat on the back.

Uncle A, my opinion is dont say anything, if they find it, act completely shocked like you were for certain they knew considering the letter u have for the script "has been handed in with all applications and resumes" you have been doing and u think it must be there and ask them to recheck and if its not (u know it wont) then u will submit one without hesitation. Ask for a reprint of ur script paper work or bottle label from pharmacy. Sometimes the machinery label isnt there or u can take that sticker off. Just a couple suggestions. Let them know if they must end up seeing that label, it has to be put on if even 1 percent have ever had an issue but less than 5 percent even have and u can promise ur not in that percentage. Thats if they even ask about that warning label. Not an expert but i have been a recruiting officer and worked in HR. And thats what i would personally do. Anything else i can help with?

lol maybe two years ago but they definitley test for it now in New Hampshire. I'm not sure where you live but probation/parole in this state without a doubt tests for bupe.

Do not take suboxone while on probation. Im on house arrest and failed my urina analysis and almost got locked up. Trust me do not do any drugs. Stay clean and finish your time. Youll be able to get as f***ed up as you want afterwards.
