(Newest replies first)

I had a drug test with my suboxone doctor the other day and he called and kicked me off the program because the suboxone did not show up on my drug test, but i have been taking suboxone for 3 years and cannot go without it and i took suboxone the morning of the drug test. How is it possible it would not show up?

I've been on suboxone since Feb I just went last week for my monthly visit and they told me my urine test from May was negative for suboxone I was floored because I know I took them and only them they pretty much saved my life and now I'm scared I'll get kicked out if it shows negative again does anyone know why this could have happened thanks in advance

This happened to me 4 times over a 2 year period, which was impossible in my eyes. The only thing I could think of is I drink a ton of coffee and maybe it flushed it out. I had my doctor call the lab because the lab test your creatine level, or how well you kidneys are working. Every time I failed my level was between 2-4 and it should be around 200-300. The lab did say it was possible to flush the suboxone out, which wouldn't make it show up on the drug test, luckily I had a good relationship with my doctor and he never suspected my of trying to flush other drugs out of my system, but that's how they tell if you drink to much water

It just happened to me today and my doctor was a commplete b-hole and cut me back on my suboxone. I have never missed a day of taking my meds. Also I am perscribed lamactil, prosozan and vistoril which I know shows up in my urine screens because my last doctor knew this. This new doctor I have only been to 2 times keeps telling asking me that pcp is showing up in my urine. Uhh I dont do PCP!! I think that is some kind of wierd drug I dont know. The first time he said " so you are doing drugs? why is pcp in your system?" This is like a nightmare. I have been taking these medicines for a year now and now this. And was he rude!? I had my kids in there whilw he was asking me why I was lying!!!! I am so upset right now and wish I could prove this.

Your first sub appt u want to be positive and can be for several things including benzos. This shows u have a problem and need the program. U only want to be positive for your script after that first appt. Be careful. They will keep your money and kick you out which is bulls***. Any place offering help but charging up to $250 a month cash only I believe is wrong these ppl care about money money money. Not whether u get better or not. Damn I wonder why ppl are still out there addicted and dying.. Cuz of you f***ing so called drs you should be ashamed of yourselves. I bet you would think different if it were your own child addicted or dead. You make me sick!!!!

I have had a similar experience and the lab wouldn't give me my own results, even though they were testing my piss. I got really mad and the only suggestion I have is to be smarter than them and look up state law on if they are able to keep your results away from you. I have learned through the years that the only thing people fear is the law. If you can't find anything online contact a law advocate group and find someone to help you. Also, think along the lines of the American Medical Association as a last resort. Doctors tend to back doctors, crooked or not, but be diligent and you'll at least be able to find out if this is legal. Make sure you document everyone you talk to, the dates and who they work for. Good luck!

I have been on subutex & colazepam for years, along w some muscle relazers & other medications. My doc gives me random tests & I was unable to pee the last time I was in the office, so my next visit I made sure to drink lots of liquids & an additional 5 cups of water at the office, to make sure I would be able to pee. I also take a variety of herbal remedies. I wanted to make sure I could pee, so she didnt think I was trying to duck out of the test, I have nothing to hide & take my medicine religiously. Anyway, I took the test & was then called & told they didnt a more expansive test & she would no longer be able to prescribe for me bc the clonazepam came up negative. Idk if the subutex came out negative too, no one told me,bt Im guessing it didnt show either.This is insane & I have no idea why my meds arent showing. Im freaking out bc Im very ill & must hv my medicine to function at all. Even w my medication, I am at a 6-7 pain level, bt I can manage that. Ive done NOTHING wrong & am so stressed. Where I live, it is very difficult to find a doc & was so thankful to find her. I thought we had a good relationship & was the 1 area in my life I had some consistancy. She is very strict & so I doubt she'll even listen to me, bt I have a meeting w her tomorrow, to try to discuss this with her. Can you give me any advice on how to handle this or what may be going on?

I would pop it out of the package (or bottle) if you are one of the lucky f**kers that still get tablets and take it right in front of him and say ok now I will come back tomorrow and you can run the test again. That is what I would do that way he/she says to him/herself (damn self I saw him take it the day before so I guess my machine or testing equipment or lab that I am sending it to is fuc*ed up and is sending false positives back) I don't know about you but that would be the way that I would handle that situation.

I've had the same problem recently . Been on sub for over two years and never had an issue til recently. I always take everything as prescribed. I go every two weeks and have now had FIVE,yes FIVE, drug tests that have not had sub in it. I had three ttests in a row with none and then passed one, then two more none. My doctor is going to kick me off the program next visit if I don't have sub in my system. I'm freaking out bc I can't explain it. It's mind blowing to me. He did a blood test to check my kidneys and liver to make sure that isn't effecting anything. He said He's trying to give me as many "CHANCES" as he can...But I'm not doing anything wrong. I know these doctors hear all kinds of BS every day but I'm not lying. I don't know what to do

Yes. They are a benzo and they stay in your system for up to 14 days even if you don't take them regularly. Maybe even longer depending on your body type and metabolism. People who are heavy set can test positive for it was past the 14 day mark as benzos are stored in your fat cells a lot like marijuana.

NO!!! they cant be witheld completely! request your records and test results in writing. drugAll Tests are fallible and often are wrong. aim to not receive your letter.Request certified letter so nthey have to sign for it if tghey clin writing No your own records are yoursk for both patient copy and a c drs copy which is written up differently. Say you want to bring in person the Dr copy to your new(though nonexistsant) Dr. they might charge u to b a jerk,

I went to my sub doctor today and they said it came back negative for subs which I know for 200% that is not possible, when I asked to see my test they would not show me! They kicked me out and kept my $250! Are they aloud to not show me the actual test when I ask to see it?

I took 4mg of klonopin on Tuesday and 2mg of klonopin on Wednesday. This is the first time I have taken them in months, I do not regularly take them. Do you think they will show up on a drug test on this coming Tuesday?

I did some research on dip stick type testing of subs and found it to be highly unreliable. By drinking fluids and clearing the bladder a few times is enough to dilute the sample. I believe the long half life has something to do with it. It's slowly secreting metabolizes into urine rather than quickly. Slowly means smaller amounts. Add the ingested fluids clearing ones bladder a few times and metabolites are underectable.

Exactly what SWIM has been saying and no one listens.
The Sub screeners will show if:
- a person taking Sub or
- if a person is only taking it periodically aka how your body metabolizes it.

I texted negative for suboxone and I have been taking it for almost 3 weeks now. Since I have started this medication my life has improved 100%. I feel like I have my old self back, my children have their mother back, my parents have their daughter back and my husband has his wife back. I can not afford to lose this medication. Does anyone know what can cause a false negative for suboxone in a urine drug screen?

Make sure you are drinking very little caffeine, not smoking too many cigarettes, and most of all, make sure you are not sweating too much throughout the day. All of these things can be attributed to showing a negative result for Suboxone and/or Methadone. I have been going to a Methadone/Suboxone clinic for a year now and have met numerous people with the same issue. Here, they don't kick you out, they just take away your take-home privileges away...which sucks too, but not nearly as much as getting kicked out would. I was on 110mg of Methadone and still wasn't stable, so I did a "Peak & Trough" Test which shows your medication levels throughout the day. I would suggest those of you who are testing negative for medications that you know you are taking to inquire about a Peak & Trough. Here in Indiana it cost $10 and was well worth it as it allowed me the opportunity to go up an additional 20mg. Good luck! I'd be so upset to deal with that problem!!!
