How long or how many days do you have to stop wearing a fentanyl patch before a urine test from a pain management Doctor if you don't want it to show up positive on the test?

I have also been on the Fentanyl patch for several years and had similar issues with the patch falling off in the shower/if I sweat too much. I was very fortunate that a friend introduced me to Hypafix tape, it's the BEST I have found to hold my patches on for as long as I need them on. The tape can be purchased from a medical store or online (I use Med Ezpress). I buy the 4 in x 10 yards which fits all patches. I'm also have an extreme allergy to most adhesives so I use Skin-Pre. First - place a new patch where no patch had been in the last 12 and hold it there for 2-4 minutes, I then use the skin-prep all around. Make sure to cut a large piece of the Hypafix tape and have already cut it down to the correct proportions, it should still be bigger than the patch as you want a good seal around against your skin. I wear my patches to shower, swim, any other water activity and have not had one fall of yet since using the Hipa-fix tape. My doctor said to use it is also as it is a good/cheap alternative to much more expensive adhesives. Good luck!!

I used to be on the fent patches. I had one test where it didn't show up. I showed my Dr that I had one on and the sticker marks from previous one. She noticed I had been putting some on my right side over liver. She said not to put them there since the med will soak right to liver and be on way out.

Fentanyl does NOT show up on a standard paneled urine test. I just took one and it came back neg for opiates and I have been using for months. It does probably show up in a lab setting, but not 100%.

Save a used patch for the day before your appointment. The patch usually contains 40-60% of the drug in it after wearing for 3 days.

You need to make sure you have one on when you go into your Dr office next time. As far as keeping them on they have those thin clear bandage type things they same they usually pout over a iv. You can ask a pharmacist. Shoe then you have it on so how is it not showing up. I worked as several lands and have done many drug screens. The dipstick test for only Certian things. When they send them of they can text fast all kinds of things.

Fentanyl does NOT show up on a quick cup, i just had 4 different quick cups 8-12 panel cups given to me to piss in at the methadone clinic where i have been going for years and they wanted to test me to see if i had used any heroin. Since im on the methadone i cant use any drugs...and on every cup they used NOTHING came back positive. Fentanyl is 100% synthetic and YES they need to used a separate stick to test for it....all you people calling other people morons, YOU ARE THE ONES THAT NEED TO DO YOUR HOME WORK!!!

As mentioned in several other posts, most opioids are synthetics and need their own test for them. For instance I go for Subutex treatment and my Dr. has me do a 12 panel test and a single Buprenorphine (Subutex) test. I have done the Fentanyl patches just before testing and they do NOT show up on a 12 panel test. They would need to do a mass spec test to look for every opioid or have a pee stick test for each one.

I'm desperetly searching for the right answer. My grandson was arrested because he was taken by ambulance because he was unconcious and not breathing. He said some things in an altered state about actyl fentyl. He was drug tested, both urine and blood and the only positive was his prescription adderall. He tried to tell them he had not taken any drugs and he couldn't help what he said when he was in and out of a concious state! He's only 19 and his glucose level was 282 and it was also reported that he had a tender forehead with contusions. My grandson was subject to random drug searches and random drug testing and so he was automatically accussed of using acteyl fentyl instead of looking at other factors that could have caused this to happen to him. They crusified him in the paper and added things he never said but when it comes to law enforcement it seems to always be in their favor! Please keep in mind that the community in which my grandson lives is embroiled in corruption with people in positions of authority and trust being fired. Law enforcement included! Please help me to find the right answers! Thank you for any help you may be able to give me!

dsp2507, I don't know where in the world you are getting your info, but Fentanyl is most definitely an opiate and happens to be the strongest one.

Buzz ... Methadone is an opiate agonist, which has a series of actions similar to those of morphine and other narcotic medications. When taken on a daily basis (every 24 to 36 hours), it eliminates physical withdrawal symptoms. Additionally, when you are an effective dose level, you no longer have cravings for opioids, and if you do use, methadone blocks the euphoric effect of opioid abuse.

Jam7ra, I think I read somewhere that fentanyl actually metabolizes as morphine. I could totally be wrong, but I swear I read that somewhere. Maybe ask your dr to submit a different kind of test...? Maybe it's the type of test they are using. Idk, but that's totally weird and I don't blame you at all for being frustrated. Especially if you are saving the used ones and the unused ones. Sounds like your dr is just an ass. I hope it all works out for you though.

I agree with Darcey 100%. The metabolites stay in your system longer, sometimes a great deal longer. All depends on usage, depends on the persons weight, depends on route of use. There are many variables that it depends on. People shouldn't post stuff to post stuff. And all the high and mighty's on here should ask there self how they came upon this forum...? You asked the same question everybody else did. I myself am going for my back surgery soon and they told me that the anesthesiologist would be using fentanyl along with another drug to put me under and that I need to stop using it before I go. I was checking how long before I go because I forgot to ask and its past business hours. Some folks need to chill out. Stop judging people. And those of you that are chewing on your patches, you need to be really careful. Too much and you can go into respiratory failure. I'm just saying. Wearing it is what it's for. And those of you who are abusing it, I just ask that you think about what you are doing... Addiction sucks ass... And for those of us that really need the medicine are given drug tests because of people abusing them. Depending on the insurance, those drug tests aren't cheap because they check for the amount in your system to ensure you're following the prescribed regimen. Mine does anyways. Anyways, to all who use it because you need it I wish you well and to those who use it for anything other than pain...I wish you well, too. I hope you are careful so that your loved ones don't have to miss you too early in your life. Take care everybody...

I work in a residential treatment center. We have to have a different dip test that in fact only tests for fentanyl. As it will not show on the 12 panel dip tests we use to find heroin, codeine and oxys as well as other drugs we test for.
