I am very concerned. My Dr. started me on methadone at 5 mg 2x per day. 4 days later I had a urine test and the methadone did not show up. now my Dr. is concerned that I am not following treatment and I have been following it as I was told to. does anyone have have any idea as to why methadone would not show up in a pee test?

Takes up to 3 weeks or it may be hanging up in your bladder,, also stay away from brisk ice tea with lemon..it kills the results of it.

Went to pain doctor today and they gave me my test results of my urine screen from last month and he says that my methadone is showing up but my metabolites is very low which means not breaking down he says the main reason that would be usually is that I'm taking pills and scraping into My urine. I have never in 18 years of going to a pain doctor has ever done that I have a very good record with pain doctor I need to know what else could possibly cause that please someone help me

I had an issue like this..what happened to me was it was storing in my bladder and kidney and not releaseing..i started drinking a bottle of tea as it helps flush your tract..i have been fine since...also if your read up on methadone it takes up to two weeks to get at level of 30 that where 5 mg twice a day should register..good luck..methadone is trickie and if you dont take it...it will tell on you.

There is no good explanation for this other than a flawed test or that you are very new to the drug and it isn't showing yet. There's nothing you can be taking or doing that would mask your results. I'd be amazed if it happens a second time. -BB

CVS Corp uses a standard TEN PANEL urinalysis test to test for illicit drug usage. If you're prescribed the (whatever you're taking), the testing agency will simply verify the prescription for that--and you'll pass. If you're using recreationally, have someone who doesn't take anything pee for you and then use that as your "specimen." They cannot by law observe you pissing if it's for employment. If you're a male, tape your clean pee bottle up under your cahones to maintain at least a 96.7 temp. If you're a female, put the travel bottle of pee up under your tatas in an underwire bra and use that to maintain the temp. Each squeezy & good luck! (travel sized containers can be found in the travel cosmetics section of any drugstore or WM or Target.

The reason for your negative screen is almost certainly due to the fact that although methadone is an opiate, it is a synthetic (man made) opiate. In most cases you will not be tested for synthetics. It is expensive, and hopefully seen as unnecessary. Due to the fact that it is usually legally prescribed, not abused in the same manner.

No. It has to pass through your system. They are looking for metabolites.

Not too smart! Taking xanax and methadone is a bad idea. People od all the time with the combo. You dont even have to use them on the same day to od! If your prescribing dr somehow finds out your using both he'll be done with you! Be careful, and best of luck.
