Will Morphine Sulfate Show Up As Heroin On A Drug Test?

My doctor said I had a positive urine for heroin but I don't do it. He gave me 60mg morphine sulfate for long term and oxycodone 15s. Also, is the morphine sulfate causing the test to be false positive?

Good God !!! Please tell me you are joking ? If you are on ms contin (morphine sulphate) prescribed from a doctor he himself should know FULL WELL that morphine will make you test positive on a general opiate screen just like codeine will as well for heroin.

They are ment to do a specific opiate alkaloid drug test for morphine sulfate as on a general screen like they use for addicts on methadone that all 3 of the most natural opiates like codeine, morphine and diamorphine aka heroin WILL make you test opiate or heroin positive. You need to speak to them about this if its not to late

Your Dr must be a complete airhead !!! Report him/her to general medical council if they stopped your P/X !!!

I went today and was told that I was taking heroin. I take 30 mg morphine and take only what is perscribed. I'm totally baffeled. she ask to see my pills and took them away from me and treated me like some druggie. They also did another mouth swab and it will probably come back the same because I'm on the same meds as then. How is this possible? I live in Pa. and they send the swabs to NC to be processed. only 1 med that I take showed up along with heroin, any one els have this happen?

Hey, so a lot of info on here I've read is wrong. Heroin is Diacetylmorphine. When broken down on the body it metabolizes into two compounds, morphine and codine. Last lot of Dr.s and POs use simple 5spec and 7spec drug tests, which in your case will just show as opiates. But normally whenever a substance comes up as positive on cup, they will send it to a lab and they will use a mass spectrometer to determine what opiates specifically and the levels in your blood plasma. Heroin will show up after a lab test as morphine or codine. In the case of Dr.s they almost always send the test to a lab, and test the levels of the drug your prescribed to make sure your not selling it, and other drugs. Hope that helps. Google: heroin metabolites for further info.

I am prescribed 60 mg morphine sulfate er , I am also taking a antibiotic for a saliva gland infection, my urine tested + for heroin? I have never used heroin in my life. I live in relentless PAIN from useless spine surgeries. when doctors "thought " they could reconstruct a human spine. ( They changed the diagnosis from severe osteoporosis to osteopenia this is impossible. The osterporosis was caused from using double doses of "Nexium" for acid reflux disease ( the company was able to keep their secret for 10 years from the FDA that PPI's cause osteoporosis.( a oversight? hardly.) This has happened before when the same medication morphine sulfate ER showed up + for dilaudid or something else. Another time the doctor deliberately falsified a urine claiming morphine, bup ( this combo can kill you) + thc. That same day I was retested somewhere else and it showed quite different results. just the morphine showed up , which should have. The benzo clonazepam never showed up at all. I am sick of this medical exploitation.

Hi, I need help. Went to a pain management due to my PCP retiring at the end of this month. Can no longer provide the 400mg of morphine and 100mg of oxcy. Of course I knew as anyone would that the pain management would do a urine test. Two weeks later my PCP calls and say the urine test came back with a break down of heroin. WTH even scarier is they told her that their testing is a 100% accurate . I was asked if I took any cough medicine no I haven't. so she asked me to come in for a urine test. This is the kicker. I have been off of the morphine for 8 days. Only taking oxcy.
Again my test came back positive for heroin. I saw it with my own eye's . How is this possible? She told me she believes me but is leaving and can't look into it. Thanks for he 25 yrs of service see ya.
I've been on pain meds for 8 years. I'm down to 8 oxcy heading down to 6 which is the cap for providers to give now at my place anyways. How can I fight this? Thanks for reading

I just want to tell those of you who don't have a lot to do with opiates that any type of morphine based drugs or codeine based ( codeine is just man-made morphine) they all will show up in a urine test, worryingly the good old m.s contin shows up as heroin, I always make a point to read up on the medication that I have to take. The internet is your every answer,one more drug I know of that gives a false positive is sertraline it can read as a benzodiazapine There are lots of false results and for lots of different reasons. I like to be a little bit paranoid health wise of course and I know for a fact that if your G.P so wishes to get rid of you and your expensive prescription she/he/it will tell you that your urine test is dirty opiates or benzos sorry but I don't trust a one of them, always make it your business to know what you are taking and what It can do.

Codeine is natural to the poppy and so are morphine and thebaine (this is used to make oxycodone).

Will the results of a medical urinalysis (7-9 panel toxicology 1 week lab protocals for results) differentiate between use of Heroin [low to mediocre dose) in combination with either simultaneous or substitutional use of MS-Contin (Rx Long-Acting Morphine) minimum dose 30mg / max dose 150 mg daily, upon final analysis? Will the breakdown of each substance show up as the same morphine byproduct or will they appear in separate categories?

Re: janice (# 3)

Yes I saw the same Dr for over 6 years and they discharged me for testing positive for heroin. I've never even seen the drug in all my life! They put me on 60mg 3x's a day & 15mg oxycodone 4x's a day. Ive had almost 20 surgeries all over my body! I see my regular Dr now for everything & there's no way I would go back to pain management! They treated me like a drug addict when they turned me into one!!

Re: cindy (# 38)

THANK YOU... I am one of those true followers of my prescription. Over the past year I have been subject to reductions in my prescription which makes the quality of my life unduly harsh. I have researched the law and there is one that sits on the books in California. Unfortunately when I have suggested a rally point to people they get frightened and so I am feeling very alone in this fight. I will not however give up On making a stance with this issue.

Re: W darling (# 28)

hi I have been following these kinds of messages for a long time now and there seems to be a witchhunt going on with those people that use opioids. The fact that people will not re-test you or take a hair sample which would really reveal a lot is confounding to me. I believe it’s political and is Money motivated so we need to kind of Bradley you guys. A lot of us that are true to our prescriptions are being unduly sought after and punish seemingly. I would urge you to research laws and legislature regarding this now because it has taken a huge turn in the last year. It pains me to see all of these posts. Believe me I’ve done my homework and have concluded that this is nothing more then like I said a political witchhunt motivated by money.

I live in England, and drug tests when taking heroin always just came back as ''Morphine detected''. When I said to the nurse ''Bloody hell...I thought it was heroin we were taking'' she said ''The tests don't show up as ''diamorphine''. However..the local police do tests on seized batches, and it was coming back as higher quality heroin than usual.
