Suboxone Does Not Show Up As An Opiate (Page 3)
UpdatedI wanna say first Im not on here tryin to be a dr people are gettin the wrong idea but unfortunately i have been on the medication for almost 5 yrs bc of shady drs(but thats another story) an know alot about the drug an thats why i am on here to try to help out others.When it comes to drug testing Suboxone does not show up as an opiate it doesn show up at all,when you go to the Dr they use a certain test that tests specifically for Suboxone.Suboxone is under the opiate category but is not actually an opiate if that makes sense,when a drug is put out on the market it has to be under a category whether its opiate,benzos,etc,so they put it under opiates,but since it really isnt an opiate it does not show up as an opiate in a drug test,its kind of complicated but if you discuss it with your dr he'll be able to explain it better
I had a urine test at probation today and the said suboxone showed up? I never took heroine or pain meds or suboxone so why did it come up?
I am on parole and have been tested many times with suboxone in my system and it never came up as an opiate
Something is going on that the vast majority of people here who think they know, don't know about. I was just tested today on a 9-10 panel at my work, and tested "mildly positive" for oxy. I'm on suboxone and haven't done oxy in over 5 years. The nurse agreed to let it go as negative because the line faintly came in after like 10 minutes, but he was ready to send to the lab.
Coincidence that your story and mine are virtually identical? I'm thinking not.
I haven't taken an opiate of any sort besides subs for over a year. JUST had a pre-employment 12 panel screen show positive for "Oxy" what the hell?! So yes it can show positive for opiates. I'm here to tell you first hand. And I put it on everything I love that I haven't touched an opiate in a very long time!
As the person above mentioned, suboxone can show up under a test for oxy, and here's why.
The nalaxone breaks down into metabolites, one of which is called norbuprenorphine, which coincidentally is the same metabolite oxycodone breaks down into.
Not only that but the buprenorphine itself also breaks down into a small amount of norbuprenorphine.
If your drug test specifically tests for oxycodone, there is a chance you can test false positive depending on how much suboxone you take, when you took it last, and your own body. Chances are if it does show up it will be faint, but know ahead of time.
There was a clinical trial done which proves this:

I too am on probation and im on suboxone and my text came up for something oxy and of course he didnt believe me when i told him i haven't took anything. but i haven't done nothing in over a year. I left their nerves not knowing why cause i know for a fact i havent. Waiting on lab work to come back.
We aren't talking about tests at a doctors office. Or tests that get sent to a lab. Rapid 9 panels, DO show up as not just opiates, but as oxycodone. Believe me or not, I've been on subs for over 3 years. 90% of the rapid 9 panels I've taken, I do test positive and I DO NOT take anything but subs... So in a sense, you're wrong. See below, someone posted why this happens. There was an fda study done because there were so many issues of this happening. And it metabolizes the same way in your body as oxycodone. Just FYI.
