Hair Follicle Drug Test And Oxycodone (Page 5)

Updated

I am prescribed oxycodone 10mg taken 4 times daily. I take them as directed. I recently took a 5 panel hair follicle test and it came back negative on everything. Does anyone know a reason that this would not show up on a hair test? I did not have my hair colored or bleached in over two years and I did not take anything to try to alter the results. Thanks!

Worried , A hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample, cut at the scalp line, will go back 90 days. It sounds like you didn't do enough of hydrocodone to show up on a Hair 5 Drug Panel with Extended Opiates hair drug test.

I suspect I know the answer, but I'll be subjected to a DISA hair Follicle test for a refinery soon (unsure how many panels). Approximately two months ago I took around 75-100mg of Tramadol, and then about a month ago took another 50mg. Also, somehwere in between I took a 5mg flexeril. What are the odds I fail with three episodes of usage?

It doesn't sound like you did much of either and most employers don't test for either drug so that is on your side.

Thank you.

This refiner is one of the majors, so I don't know the depth to which they'll go for the test. I've seen you post that they are looking for consistency of usage to indicate abuse, correct?

Amazing the stress of basically three little pills over the span of 2.5 months will cause.

Ok, quick correction. The last 50mg of Tramadol was taken two weeks ago, not a month ago. If tested for, would this have me fail?

Yes, a hair drug test is meant to pick up consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample taken from the head will go back 90 days. Still I think you should be OK even with the tramadol use.

I take 50-100mg hydrocodone and/or oxy, daily for years. I'm female with fine brown hair. I am scheduled for "hair follicle test 501" with psychemedics 2 days from now. Obviously this will show up on test. A couple of friends are suggesting Purity All Clear Purifying and Cleansing system because it has worked for them in similar case. I have been reading about all of these crazy potions...bleaching, dying, vinegar, Tide, on and on but mostly on THC forums. My question is, can you suggest which approach would give me the best chance of cleaning my hair of the opiates, or am I just totally screwed.

I'm trying to figure out if test 501 is the extended version of the 5 panel. Can anyone explain to me the difference and if my use would show up on one or both??

Dreamjob, Only psychemedics can tell you if the "501" test contains the extended opiates. One of the features of hair drug testing is that it is hard to fool with all the crap that is sold online. If you have a prescription for the hydrocodone or oxycodone you should be able to present those scripts to whatever employer wants them.

The hair testing guy,

I am prescribed 4- 5mg oxycodone hcl a day. I usually am really good about taking them daily, but there are days i fall asleep before i take my medication. I recently took a UTD and it came back completely negative even though i had taken my medication the night before as always but, now my doctor has refused to prescribe my medication to me thinking I'm selling it. If i pay to get an extended hair test done will it help me prove I'm using my medication properly and not selling it? Or is their some reason for a false negative? Please help. I don't want my doctor thinking that of me and i need my medication for quality of what life i can live with taking medication; i can't imagine how bad it will suck without it.... Also, the positive cut off was 50ng/ml.

I also take: cyclobenzaprine hcl 10mg 1-3×daily, hydrochlorothiazide 25mg (1/2 tab nightly), lisinopril 10mg 1x nightly, amlodipine besylate 2.5mg 1x nightly, fluoxetine hcl 20mg 1x daily, omeprazole 20mg 1x daily. I also drink anywhere from 64-128oz of water a day. My thought was water consumption and water pill caused the false negative, but my doctor said it wasn't possible. Also, would asking for a DNA test to test the epithelial cells excreted in my UTD to check metabolism of medication help prove my case as well or even worth doing? The UTD was done 1-2 weeks ago and I saw my doc yesterday about the test. Would PAC LABS still have the urine sample? Sorry, I know this is a lot questions, but I don't like being called a drug dealer and told i am lying. I would really like to prove my innocence. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

FalseNegativeScrewed, The Extended Opiates hair drug test might help your case since a hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. All the water you drink could have diluted the sample so that is one consideration if a false negative comes up. They should have taken a new sample and re-run the urine drug test. Also if you didn't fill out a chain of custody form how do they know that was your urine sample?? They could have mixed up the sample at the lab. Did they have you initial a seal that went over the specimen container?? Also did they do a confirmation test using GC/MS. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) is the gold standard for any drug test. If they didn't do a GC/MS confirmation test you might have some legal recourse. Hope this helps

The hair testing guy,

Thank you for your fast response. I did go get a hair test done today. The girl that collected my UTD, it was her first time doing it and she had me initial some paperwork, but not the sample. This was my very first test as well so i had no clue i was supposed to do that. The lady doing my hair test today said the same thing today about that. She also, said the water could've diluted my test and that since i drink a lot of water and i take water pill medication that it could have diluted it enough to not show past the cut off. I spent $225 for the test, but if it clears my name from looking like i sold my pills then it was money well spent. Also, hopefully it will allow me to continue with my pain contract and have at least a little bit better of quality of life. So again thank you sooooo much!

CC,
Did you just have the regular 5 panel test done? The regular 5 panel test doesn't include opiates like oxycodone. You have to have the 5 panel extended opiates for that to show. I take 5mg 4x a day of oxycodone and my extended test just came back negative cause the cut off for that companies test was really high, which i didn't know. So, now i have to shell out another $200-$300 to have the test re-done by a company with a lower cut off. I had the hair test done cause my UTD came back negative too. I take my meds pretty religiously and i am still trying to wrap my head around how it can come up negative. I hope this helps a little.

FalseNegativeScrewed, there are companies who can just test for the extended opiates and it would be much less than the amount you quoted. The cutoff would be 200 pg/mg which is a fairly low value.

Hey Bobby j, that will definitely show up on the Extended Opiate test but since you have a script you should be OK if the trucking company is OK with it. You could always do a personal anonymous extended opiate hair drug test to see where you are at.

Does Percocet , oxycotin, and oxy codone show up the same in an extended panel?

Percocet/Oxy will show up in the Extended Opiate test we provide so I think it would also be in other labs' expanded or extended opiate panel.

The Hair testing guy,
I haven't found one yet that will just test the expanded opiates without paying for the original 5 panel test. Are psychmedics and omega good companies to go with?
