Hair Follicle Drug Test And Oxycodone (Page 6)

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!

TheHairTestGuy,

I took one 5-325mg hydrocodone approx. 60 days ago. There might have been one more taken within that time frame or further back but I can't recall. Would this show up below the cutoff on the hair test? From the posts I've read this amount doesn't seem to be an issue but wanted to ask.

Clarification - meant to say oxycodone 5-325. It was only 1 tablet 60 days back, maybe a second tablet and that was all. Should I have any concern for a hair test?

I don't think that is enough to show up in a hair drug test, so I don't think I would lose any sleep over it.

Thank you! Should I note the 1-2 tablets taken during that time frame? I had an Rx but it was old.

I wouldn't bring it up unless they ask for it. And usually they do not

Thanks again especially your timely replies. I have the Rx history from my physician if necessary but don't anticipate any issue. Have a great day!

The hair testing guy,
Is this what I'm looking for? Extended Opiate Hair Drug Test for Pain Killers
$87.25, The Extended Opiate Hair Follicle Drug Test Panel includes:
Hydrocodone ( Vicodin, Loratab/Lorect ) Cutoff - 200 pg/mg
Hydromorphone ( Dilaudid ) Cutoff - 200 pg/mg
Oxycodone ( Percocet/Percodan ) Cutoff 200 pg/mg
Oxymorphone (Opana) Cutoff 200 pg/mg

It was the only one i found that did just the expanded and for a great deal too! Plus the cutt off was 200 pg/mg!

I have to go for a hair test for a custody case. My daughters dad is a violent alcoholic. But I'm prescribed 150 10mg percocet a month for an old neck injury. I've been taking alot more then the amount the doctor gives me each month. My hair is very dark too. What should my levels be for the 90 day period based on my prescription? Is there any way to lower my levels? Is the bleaching method true? I know I've made alot of mistakes but I'm scared my mistakes will cause my daughter to be put into unsafe hands. Please help!

The hair test guy, Yeah, I'm reading that people with dark hair come back with higher levels. You say it probably won't detect if you take more then prescribed unless it's excessive amounts more. Is 3xs your prescribed amount excessive? Take your 4a day prescribed & another like 8-10 a day in addition to your prescription. When you run out you get more from someone else so you're way over what you're supposed to take. Will that show? Is it worse if my hair is almost black? There's a ton of crazy methods I'm seeing. I would think the bleach would probably work out of all the others, no? This drug test I have coming up for work would destroy my life & family's if I fail. Will the amount I'm taking show in the levels that I'm over my prescribed dose? Anyway to fix it or I'm just totally screwed??

Hey My name, if you are taking 3x more than you should be taking a hair test would show a high level. But if whoever has requested the test doesn't know how to interpret the test results then you might be OK. Hair color has no significant effect in regards to a hair test. I've seen some pretty elaborate methods to fool a hair test. You would have to bleach your hair so much that it would be falling out. Hair tests are hard to beat, that's one of the reasons hair testing is getting so popular.

Worried in GA, there is no way to guess what the levels might be. There is no way to lower the amount of drug that is already in the hair. The only way to know would be to do your own anonymous extended opiate hair drug test. Hair color doesn't have an effect on the outcome. Bleaching doesn't have much of an effect on a hair test.

The hair test guy, If there's no way to determine the levels how do they decide if your levels are to high based on what your allowed to take? I'm just confused about all this & all the uncertainties I'm reading that surround the hair tests still. I guess if there isn't much affect from bleaching there is some at least so might be worth the try. I'm desperate. Thanks.

That's one of my points, who determines what is an abusive level or medicinal level. If it is for legal use or not the only people who are really qualified to interpret whether a level is an abusive level or medicinal level is an Medical Review Office. An MRO is a doctor who goes thru an extra 6 years training in order to interpret drug testing results of any kind. Since I've been in the hair testing biz for 17 years, even-though I am not a "medical professional", I might be able to tell if some levels are abuse by asking what the prescription calls for. I have a regular customer who asks me that question once in a while and I tell them I'm not really qualified to make that call but they listen to what I have to say any way. I provide a one page report, to all my customers, that list the cutoff level and confirmation level (if necessary). I would be interested to know what the results are. If they tell you the level is higher than it should be make sure they include a statement (or ask for a statement) by their MRO stating that it is an abusive level. Keep track of whoever you talk to and their position so if it comes down to a legal issue you can have as much info as possible. Write it all down.

Passed Psychemedics 5 panel hair test with expanded opiates. The employer had a pre-test form requiring any meds taken with an explanation. Made sure to note Rx from physician. Only had single use so it was not an issue.

Quick question. I just failed a 10 panel for oxycodone which I had a level of 1183np/mg however six weeks ago I gave birth and was administered oxycodone 5mg while I was in the hospital and discharged with a script for oxycodone 5mg. I did give proof of prescription following the positive but was curious if the high level seems normal for what was taken and prescribed and since I have proof can they use this positive against me?

Ash , Your level doesn't seem out of line but I don't know how often you were taking the 5 mg oxycodone but if you have a prescription you shouldn't have any problem.

Ok ive been wanting this job for a while now. And the job does a hair follicle test that goes back a year. I used to take drugs back in the day but i quit about a year and a half ago. Well last night i was drinking and like an ***** took what i think was an oxy. Yes it was dumb i know. My question is, if this company does a year long 12 panel hair follicle test, will it detect one oxy out of a whole year?
