Why Did Methadone Not Show Up In Urine Test (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

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?

I am so incredibly sorry for your plight, JennC. I am a chronic pain patient with multiple well documented spinal problems due to a congenital malformation of my spine (at birth). If I can do anything for you (REALLY), let me know. I will write letters, whatever... Peace be with you, and let us know how you are.

I have been reading all these posts about urine tests not coming up positive for the drugs we take. This happened to me the other day at my doctors too. I am also in FL and it would suck to have them drop me as a patient because of this. My doctor said I was the third patient that came up that way this week. She had tested two other patients and the same thing. I wear a patch and I have it on all the time as well as my other drugs that I take for break though. I had just taken my break thru medication about 2 hours before. My daughter was with me and we were trying to figure out the time I took my meds, the doctor could tell that I was not being dishonest. The patch should have definitely come up. There is obviously something wrong with these tests since this is happening and it seems like it is basically in FL. What can we do to prove that the test is damaged. I can't afford to not be able to get my medication. I am in constant pain now I can't imgagine having to live this way because of an error on the part of the testing company. Is there anything we can do as a group to see what this problem is and if it is the same company that this seems to be happening with. If anyone has any suggestions please reply so that we can get this worked out. I know my doctor is too busy to do it on her own.

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.

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.

I have been on methadone maintenance for over 5 years, I have been decreasing my dose over time. Now at 19mg I recently took a UA, the weird thing is it came back saying I had no methadone in my system only methadone metabolites. My clinic thinks I skipped a dose. which is very untrue (withdrawls..hello) I've been clean for about five years (no dirty ua's not over 5 yrs) I have read doses under 20mg may only have the metabolite show up, it's just the physiology of the human body. My other theory is: say someone (at approx. 20mg or less) -takes their daily dose at 7am, then 26 hours later had a UA, before consuming a new dose, methadone could already be out of their urine, and only show metabolites. Unfortunately were punished for for the physiology of our bodies and the stupidly of these offices.
