What Could Cause Methadone To Not Show Up In Urine
UpdatedI'm in a methadone clinic, where I dose in front of someone daily. I'm on 65mg and 2 times now i came up negative for methadone. How is that possible? Even if I didn't come in clinic for several days and didn't dose, I should still come up positive!! How the hell?

It is not possible,when I quit methadone I was still testing positive 20 days later.The only time methadone does not show up is when you take a standard opiate test,like for taking a drug test for employment opportunities.sounds like the facilities handling your drops are dropping the ball (heh heh ). I once had a false positive for cocaine at my clinic, human error possibly?
I am going thru the SAME THING RIGHT NOW.
I take 98 mg a day for 5 yrs now and out of thr blue last wk my urine test showed up negative for methadone.
It showed a VERY MINIMAL AMOUNT.
now of course they think I'm not talking it like I'm supposed to be taking it.
They want to take away my take homes from big monthly to daily!!!
It's SO UNFAIR and of course they think your lying because your a " drug addict"
I called the lab and they said it could simply be that I'm over hydrated.
I'm on 160mg and I dose every morning with 3 take homes. yesterday my counselor mentioned I had no methadone or metabolites in my system the for this month, or last month. I had no idea about last month. I dose in front of a nurse and a camera everytime I go. Today they gave me an observed ua and let me dose. My other two prescriptions showed fine. Which they know about. All I can think is since I work out a lot more that my metabolism has sped up, yet I have lost weight just turned fat to muscle and either way, it seems impossible to metabolize or sweat out 160 mg everyday and I barely drink water. This clinic has been perfect until now and I don't want to be penalized for something I would not do. I even pour water in my bottle and drink the tablets bc they are too big to swallow and it never leaves the nurse's view. How could I be selling them or whatever they're thinking? I'm confused and feel like something must be happening in the lab. I just don't understand and have been working so hard to earn all I've achieved, I don't even drink anymore.
I have the same exact story!!! I'm on 65mg everyday but my weekly urine test came up negative! I too take it supervised daily. Why isn't it showing up on my drug screen?!
