Ua's And Suboxone

I was put on Suboxone Nov.13,2013.It is the best decision I've ever made!I went to my classes/groups 3 times a week for much longer than was required because I was afraid of not having the support and routine.I finally felt strong enough to graduate and start aftercare.My first or second UA (once I was going to aftercare only)came back from Ameritech Labs...The results?...NO SUBOXONE IN MY SYSTEM.I tried to tell my councilor that I take my meds the same way as I was told to from the begining of taking Suboxone.My daily routines have not changed since I graduated outpatient and started aftercare.He even went as far as to say that my UA had been watered down.This Suboxone has saved my life,Literally!I do not tamper w/my UA's.I have NO reason to.I Sure In The HELL don't skip doses.So f/ the lab to say I had NO Suboxone in my system,that's just seriously insane!!!I know what will happen to me if I DONT take it,better yet I know what has happened to and for me since I've been on it!My life has never been so good.EVER!My blessings are miraculous since I've stopped shooting her I on!To be honest,I'd rather die then go through all that again,not to mention what it would do to my family,who actually enjoy my company now.I'm even aloud to see my grandkids and nephews f/the first time and they are all over a year old!There's no way I would do ANYTHING to mess all of up. Anyway,the consequence of the first UA w/no Suboxone in it was having to go back to full time classes 3 times a week.Which I agreed to,its better than being discharged from the Suboxone program!Then my next UA(week 2 of aftercare)my UA came back w/my Suboxone levels being inconsistant w/the ones prior to my starting aftercare...The 3rd one,no suboxonevin my system,AGAIN!!!The labveven said I had watered down one of the 3.Since that accusation I have the secretary f/the clinic watch me do my UA's. My question is this: I drink about 4 or 5 full pots of coffee a day,even on the days I go to class.As a matter of fact,on class days I go next door to the gas station and buy a large cappichino/French vanilla w/hot cocoa.On top of all the coffee I drink at home.My councilor said that coffee will NOT flush the Suboxone out of my system!He also is hung up on the fact that this problem didn't arise until I started aftercare.I tried to explain to him that the 3 hours on Monday and Tuesday that I'm at home Rather then class(since I graduated),I spend those hours drinking more coffee.You see,I had the stupidest idea in the world!!I REPLACED my alcohol w/coffee.I did try to speak w/ Ameritech Labs but I was told to "talk to my councilor" I then contacted 2 other labs,one of which didn't want to get involved(all I wanted to know was can I pee out all or part of my Suboxone)The 2nd lab told me that "Anything I put in me is going to come out.That's what I thought,but the clinic I go to disagrees.I told my councilor last night that I was investigating this and he told me not to worry about it and to leave it alone!I can't do that!I don't like looking like I'm sneaking around,I don't like looking like a liar and I DEFINATLY don't like the only person that I trust and respect(in this whole world)thinking that I'm doing something wrong or shady.I'm in a terrible situation,and I'm afraid that it will eventually affect me in ways that I can't afford!If there IS anyway you could tell me if I'm urinating my Suboxone out,I would appreciate any and all feedback.I have cut back on my coffee intake,but that doesn't explain the 3 messed up UA's.Since I've cut back I've taken 2 UA's and haven't been called on the carpet again WICH leads me to believe that it WAS coffee that affected my previous drug screens. I take my sobriety very seriously.I'd be back in prison or worse yet...dead w/o my Suboxone and can't afford to lose it!Can someone please help kevfigure this out? PLEASE don't tell me to talk to my councilor.I have,REPEATEDLY....thank young/your time,God Bless You! Sincerely, Misti {edited for privacy} P.S I'm also on several meds f/ bipolar disorder.But I've been on all the same ones since I started treatment...'.

Hi Misty, Sounds like you got your life back. Sorry to hear your going thru this with the UA thing. I don't know what could be going on.
If you know you have a test coming up I,d only drink 1 or 2 cups a day for at least 3 days before test. I wouldn't replace the caffeine with soda either. If you get back a wrong result again I'd ask nicely to see the results. Something doesn't seem right with this.

Hi, I replied before this but it said it had to be reviewed. Congratulations on doing so well. I wish I had an answer for you but I don,t.
I,d definately stop drinking coffee or any cafeine products several days before any further testing if I were you. Also if it happens again and you know your in the right, ask nicely and politely to see the test results. I don,t think theres any reason why you couldn,t see it.
Wish I could be more helpful.
You,ve done a fantastic job getting straight. Keep up the good work.
