Dilaudid/hydromorphone Not Showing Up In Drug Test

i am prescribed dilaudid for pain. well, they just gave me 2 drug tests and its not showing up. first was urine, then second was blood. nothing. now it looks like im banned from the practice. ive been taking them everyday for around 9 months. there is NO WAY in hell this is possible. so ive been doing some research and here is what ive gathered: a normal test for opiates will not reveal dilaidid/hydromorphone. they have to test specifically for the metabolite for dil/hyd.. is this correct? can anyone give me any info on what is going on here? this is crazy and like i said, ive taken these for 9 months religiously, so something is wrong.

Bubby,

Sorry to hear of your issues but dilaudid is a synthetic opiate so it Will test positive in standard urine screens. No specialized tests are warranted for hydromorphones pharmokinetics UNLESS an issue like yours arises; you might consider having a more sensitive lab test called a GCMS run. There are many reasons why your metabolism rate may compromise normal drug screening but your provider seems to have covered his ass by running a duplicate blood test. Being dismissed may have far reaching complications for future providers accepting you as a prospective client. Dilaudid known as hospital heroin is a drug with phenomenal street value and diversion risks, such is why MOST docs refuse to prescribe it and pharmacies refuse to stock it, claiming safety issues. Hope that gives you a brief insight as to what your challenges are regarding this excellent pain reliever. Good luck.....

anyone? i know quest diagnostics did the blood test. and i talked to my dr office and its just listed as "opiates" on my trest results . i told her if if he didnt specify to be looking for dilaudid/hydromorphone in an 'expanded opiate test' its not going to show up. she said the doctor called and they said they did. well, if he had to call and ask, obviously he didnt specify anything....haha! and they did a standard test. sure, they test for it...if you tell them that! but they didnt, and i know they didnt. this is unbelievable.
