blood will show the same as a U/A, my daughter took 1/2 of a 10mg and it didn't show, but if they send it out to be checked instead of doing it right in the office then it may not be detected, if they send it out then it will. good luck

it stays in your system up to 10 days because I take them sorry but if they are not doing a U/A then why worry, and iron test will just show if your low on iron, if they also say Iron, test and check for drugs then you are in trouble, Just ask the guy drawing blood if he is checking for more or just iron I have, they tell you good luck let us know how it went

Below are two general points about drug tests and methadone which I hope will help the majority of people here who are concerned about the two.

1) Your run of the mill drug test for work or criminal justice reasons is going to be the ten panel test. It's designed to pick up metabolites for heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, PCP, benzodiazepines, Quaaludes (some test for tricyclic antidepressants instead, but that varies by manufacturer), methadone, propoxyphene, and barbiturates.

2) If you research Methadone-Half-Life-Graphs you'll find a LOT of pretty decent information on methadone metabolization and half life data, which will help you figure out - on average - how long it'll take to get out of your system. The good news is that if you've only taken one dose, it'll be out of your system pretty quickly. However, if you've taken more than that, it builds in your system and takes a cumulatively longer time to fully leave.

Also keep in mind that drug tests have a cut-off, so there's a chance that if the amount in your urine/blood is below that point, it won't show up. Always bring all your scripts into a drug test, too, as this will help matters in the long run. Please don't try to bring in someone else's urine or some crap like because most of the time it simply doesn't work and if you're busted you could be in deeper crap than if you'd simply pissed hot or told whomever about your concern. I know for people on probation/parole who have to do UAs that they'll be observed, so trying to pull off using someone else's urine is more likely to fail than fly. I've never had an observed UA for work purposes, but that doesn't mean that it's not possible depending on your occupation, et cetra.

Guess I should have been more specific about the methadone I took again; liquid equalling 85mgs - just took it once yesterday and have a Urine test by a doctor Thursday coming up testing around 3pm. I took it at 11pm this past Thursday. I'm active running or cycling 25 to 50 miles per week. I also drink plenty of water but I'm over 50 also. Some posts scare me but I've usually passed tests. Not that I take this stuff regularly. Any suggestions and help would be much appreciated. I had 7 surgeries and 15 bones broken. My pain meds are all that get me by. Sorry about the length of my post.

48/72 hours. Not everyone is the same. Some ppl can be clear quickly, flushing with water can help?
