Suboxone Drug Test (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I am currently going to a pain clinic. I ran out of oxycodone and I have some suboxone from a previous doctor (I went to suboxone doctor about 9 months ago). I don't want to suffer withdrawals, so I took a suboxone. HOW LONG WILL THE SUBOXONE SHOW UP FOR IN A URINE SPECIMEN??? They will drug test me when I go back to my current pain clinic doctor and I don't want the suboxone to show up. I have an oxycodone pill that I can take right before I goto the pain clininc for my monthly visit. I am just worried that the suboxone will also show up in my urine!

this is so true I took a suboxin on thursday off then I have a drug test on monday my doctor prescribes me 30mg irs. after I took the test my god they came in after he got the results and asked me several times if I had taken any ER oxycontins this week. Listing the fact that he prescribes me 30mg , had me convinced that he is right. and not only does it show up as an oxycodone. It actually shows up differently then a 30mg IR and as exactly as a controlled release oxycontin. I never knew that the tests show 30mg IRs and oxycontin controlled release
as completely different results. Thank God my Dr. believed me.

That is true that Suboxone shows up as a oxy on a test. I couldn't believe it. I just took one last week.

I am a manager at an ambulance company and also a paramedic for the past 20 years. I have all of my employees take drug screens and when one comes up positive, the labs sends me reports that tell me what drugsshowup in each category. I see all the answers for all the questions and it amazes me that everyone gives a different answer. These people are trying to find out the true answer to a question and the get 50 different answers.

First of all, if you do street drugs or prescription drugs that you do not have a prescription for, you really need to stop. It's bad for you, illegal, and you could die from certain combinations. Most companies, for a non-driving position issue a 5 panel test. This tests for marijuana, amphetimine including meth, cocaine (crack), PCP, and opiates (codeine, heroin, and morphine only).

When you get into the 10 panel test, it tests for more specific drugs such as benzos (Valium, Xanax), barbiturates (phenobarbital, a drug for seizures but can be abused for its sedative value), methadone, and oxycodone. The candidate will show up positive if the are taking OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, and suboxone. Yes, suboxone shows up on a ten panel as oxycodone. It is a synthetic opioid.

If you a legitimately taking suboxone ask your doctor to write a note saying that he has prescribed a medication to you that has similar properties as those in the oxycodone group. It is none of your employer's business to know exactly what meds you are on as long as they are legally obtained. However, most employers use 5 panel test since it is faster and less expensive. With the population now being on so many prescription drugs, it is expensive sending off every positive test for prescription drugs for the GC/MS test with a review by the lab's doctor.
I use the 5 panel test because I am more concerned that my future employees are using illegal drugs.

So in case you missed it, suboxone shows up on a 10 panel test as oxycodone, which is illegal unless you have a script for it. It has a rather long half life (average 37 hours) so it will stay in your system for up to 2 weeks, depending on how much is built up in your system. Also, FYI, Valium has a very long half life. I was given a Valium in the hospital for muscle spasms and 30 days later I took a urine drug screen and it was still there. I was very happy that I still had the paperwork from the ER that showed the treatment that I had gotten.

If they give U a "5-PANEL DRUG-TEST"(the most common & cheapest, U have nothing to worry about. those test for broad categories like, Opiates, Benzos, THC, Cocaine,& Methamphetamine. The important thing is even though SUBOXONE & even OXY's after a day or so sometimes don't even show. But BOTTOM line is ALL U WOULD TEST POS. 4 IS OPIATES. IT DOESN'T TELL THEM WHICH KIND. In the same way they couldn't tell whether for example a person had been taking say VALUM or XANAX.. they'd just Pop for Benzos. U R STRAIGHT!

Btw, sometimes suboxone can show up as other drugs on a drug test - so be careful. If this happens, just ask to be re-tested b/c it shouldn't happen again. Also, I was drug tested (for a job requirement) and had taken a suboxone about 48-72 hours prior -- nothing showed up. Unless they're specifically testing for it, you should be just fine.

Isn't Ultram an opioid? If so, you're basically just "cancelling it out" w/ suboxone. Opioids don't work when you're using suboxone. Just make sure you don't take any type of muscle relaxer, sedative, or benzo (like Xanax or Clonazepam) with suboxone b/c the combined effects will make you comatose and it is really dangerous. Does your dr. know you're on both meds? B/c he/she can tell you if it's ok to combine them.

You should be fine - The standard tests do not check for Suboxone because it is not a commonly 'abused' drug (it is not readily available like Vicodin, Oxycodone, Xanax and other drugs which are used recreationally). I could be wrong here, but that is what I have gathered. Yes, there are tests which can specifically check for Suboxone but chances are that's not what they're looking for (the cost can be pretty high for them to check for it anyways). Regardless, I'd say that if you only took a single dosage it should be out of your body within 72 hours... Hope this helps!
