I just wanted to tell you that if you clean the area you put your patch on with alcohol and make sure it is dry your patch will not fall off it is the oils in your skin that is making it fall off in the shower since I started doing this I have not had my patch fall off once.

I am also an RN with a Master's Degree with my main experience being in ICU. However, the last year and half I have worked for a pain management clinic.

To be clear, OPIOIDS DO NOT SHOW UP AS OPIATES ON COMMON DRUG SCREENS.

A pain clinic will typically give you a drug SCREEN, which will be either a 10 or 12 panel test that immediately shows up on the cup. THEN, they send the urine to a lab for a drug TEST that runs a GC/MS or an LC/MS.

The SCREEN (the initial cup test or dipstick test) will only show certain things. The TEST (when they send it to the lab) will show EVERYTHING.

On the SCREEN, synthetic OPIOIDS (like fentanyl) will NOT show up under the OPIATE screen. Opiates or semi-synthetic opioids such as hydrocodone, codeine and morphine will show up. BUT, fully synthetic OPIOIDS such as fentanyl, methadone or suboxone will NOT show up unless they have a specifically purchased custom screening cup or dipstick to test for those things. Once the sample is sent to lab, it will ALL show up.

That being said, if you are testing for something simple like a minimum wage job or school (or the home drug tests you can buy at Walgreen's), OPIOIDS WILL NOT SHOW UP, because they usually use a cheaper drug test such as a 5 or 7 panel screen. They do not pay the extra $300 for an LC/MS confirmation in a lab.

FYI oxycodone is also semi-synthetic, but it has enough synthetics in it that it will not always show up on those simple drug tests, which is why you can buy drug test kits that test for opiates AND oxycodone.

Anyways... The point is that fentanyl, methadone and suboxone will NOT show up on your "average" drug screen. They WILL show up on drug tests that are sent to a LAB for confirmation, or specialized drug screens that have an extra panel specifically for fentanyl (or methadone, suboxone).

Ask to see the lab results. Sometimes they test you.

Actually the word "opiod" refers to all types of opiates.

If your pain management uses the largest 16> panel it showed in mine. Asked me about it but had switched to new dr month after taking last fentanyl dose was 3weeks before. Mine uses the largest panel and sends out.

I don't have a script for the fentanyl patch it was given to me and I'm taken Norco7.5 and they aren't doing the job but I just need to make sure that if I come up for a surprise urine test that it won't show up in my urine.

It shows up because they either have a special dipstick for it or because they send it off to test the levels. Fentanyl is not an opiate per say. If you don't believe everyone here call your local pharmacist...they'll tell you the same thing.

You might want to go back to school a little bit longer. Because fentanyl doesnt show up as an opiate. It is a specific test for fentanyl.ffffff

Opiod means that it attaches to the opiate receptors in your brain. There are few things that are actially a true opiate (coming from the poppy flower) codeine, morphine and heroine. The other goods (hydrocodone, oxycodone, fentanyl, hydromorphone, oxymorphone) are synthetic (made in a lab).... Although there can be false positives on dipstrip tests. That in mind, there can also be negatives that should be positive. Should either occur and you are certain it is wrong. You have the right to request it to be sent to a lab that uses gas spectrum testing and there the truth will be revealed

Buy a transdermal patch from Amazon. They work like a charm. They are breathable so they do not effect the administration of the meds at all. Been using them for this stupid non stick patches for 2 years. I always just put one on with every fentanyl patch I put on period. As for the testing, mine do not show up in the dip stick either. But when they send it out to the lab it comes back positive. But my pain management also does quantitative levels to make sure you are taking your meds as prescribed. They are pretty strict. Doesn't bother me because I'm strict with my oxy's and have timers set to take them, even at 3:30 am. Yep, I'm strict. Always have been with meds. Anyway, so I don't know why the fentanyl doesn't show up on the dip stick, must be like the others said its only a 8 or 12 panel then.

At A Loss, Your story sounds almost identical to mine. I also tested negative for Fentanyl many times at my pain clinic so my pm doc started sending my negative tests to the lab and it turns out that the dip sticks being used were showing a false negative as all samples sent to the lab came back positive. You need to ask your doctor to send your samples to the lab should you ever get a negative result from the dip stick test. I hope this helps.

This is very true I take suboxene and suboxene does not show up as an opiate on a urine test. That is why it has it own panel same as fent. It also has its own panel
