Suboxone & Urine Testing

Updated

I have been on Suboxone for a little over a year now. I am now off the roxy. Anyway, my question is: My doctor does a panel test to test for the usual. Then she will do a separate test for Suboxone. I smoke pot. This has come up positive on my tests before and she says she normally wouldn’t care, but to her this means, “I am hanging around the wrong crowd and might relapse.†I have used clean urine from another person before and dissolved a small piece of the film in it. When I do this the panel test shows a faint line for opiates. Then I swear up and down I haven’t taken a roxy in over a year (true), and then she will do a separate test just for Suboxone and roxy. Dissolving a small piece into the clean urine made the separate “roxy test†still show a faint line (fainter, but still visible). She said if this happens again, they will have to take the urine to a lab. So if I am using clean urine and dissolving a small piece of Suboxone in it and it goes off to a lab; will the lab results show that something is up? For example: Will the lab show I messed with the urine? Will it show that I dissolved a piece in clean urine? Or will I be okay?

Yes, a lab test would definitely alert her to the fact that you are tampering with the urine.

The reason why is because the lab is also going to be checking for the metabolites from the Suboxone and those are only present when it has actually been processed through your body.

Basically, it is very difficult to fool the actual lab tests, which is why your doctor wants to resort to using one.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Ok... But if you have not used, and have given a clean ut with suboxone dissolved in it, how does it show as positive?

My husband and I have been on Suboxone for 6 yrs and we never had a doctor care about smoking marijuana. So now our dr does and if my husband gives a 2 mg piece to someone whom already has used suboxone to pass a urine suboxone test today to pass the test tomorrow, will it be in their system by then?

The reason it does that is there is naloxone in suboxone. It breaks down similar in the body as oxymorphone . So when you just put it strait in urine without it breaking down it shows up as having opiates...and if they take it to a lab for further testing it will show no metabolizes meaning that you messed with your sample. Sucks there's just no easy way

I am in the Suboxone program. I now take Subutex, but basically the same thing. I smoke pot and my doctor is getting tired of seeing this on my test. My question is if I get my friend to take a piece of Suboxone for the test then freeze the left over urine; will the Subutex/Suboxone still be detect the Subutex/Suboxone ingredient even though the urine was frozen and thawed by the next time I use it in four weeks? Or if I thaw the urine will the Sub ingredients be gone as well?

at the lab they can tell if the suboxone is metabolized...meaning if it was broke down by the stomach so i don't recommend u keep doin that
