Will Fentanyl Show Up In Drug Test As An Opiate

Man the amount of people who have no clue what they are talking about yet spitting advice on it like they are an expert is bewildering. NO FENTANYL does not show up as an opiate on any test anywhere. In fact the only things that will show up as an opiate are morphine, codeine, and heroin and that is because heroin and morphine metabolize into morphine. Not even oxycodone or hydrocodone can be detected as an opiate they have to be specifically tested for as they metabolize differently, same with methadone, methadone has to be specifically tested for, it will not show up as anything but methadone. So unless the test you are taking is specifically testing for fentanyl then you will be fine. The question is whether or not the test you are taking is testing for fentanyl. I have yet to see a piss test that does test for it. Even if they sent it to a lab for testing they would have to tell the lab what to look for and that they specifically want to know if fentanyl metabolites are present. Anyone that tells you anything different from this has no clue what they are talking about or how opiates and their derivatives are detected after use. Drugs that have been taken are detected by looking for what they metabolize into, in the body and no two drugs metabolize the same unless they are from the same base as I explained in the beginning. Codeine, opium, heroin, and morphine are all detected as opiates because they are all made from opium. An opioid is not made from opium, they just have a somewhat similar structure and create the same effect by binding to the same receptors, but they in no way metabolize into the same metabolites which is essentially the by product of the chemical after the body has processed it. Hope this helps anyone who needs accurate information not just the random ramblings of nonsense.

Hi elemental, you seem to know what your talking about. And i think you could be alot of help to me (if thats not an issue) I just have a few standard questions. Im basically looking for something with an opiate-like feel that i can use while on probation. I know im tested for THC, Benzos, Opiates, Barbituates, and Amphets, Cocaine. Im on probation In NY, USA. Not sure how much you know about that. But please reply to this. thanks boss

Try kratom, im on probation and technically its legal for now. It works, and you can actually get off opiates and opioids while on probation. I do. best kind is maeng da.

He has no idea what he is taking about. I am a pharmacist and all of the things mentioned (vicodin, seomtimes oxy, and fentanyl) show up as an opiate! Plus there is an extra test for oxycodone specifially, so they will know about that either way!

Elemental is right, no matter what they say FENTANYL is not tested for in the normal 10 or 12 panel urine tests, And for all the skeptics i test on a random basis every week on a 10 and 12 panel urine test and have never, and i repeat NEVER been positive for anything. i have tested this multiple ways including IV and just simply wearing the patch to a drug screen and still no positives..

Fentanyl DOES show up as an opiate. I have worked in a lab doing urine testing for 10 years and it can and does show up. Now here's the difference: if you are getting tested for heroin, that's a different metabolite than other opiates like Oxy, Vicodin, etc. Theoretically you can test negative for opiates, and positive for heroin, and vice versa. If the testing method is a dip stick, 99% of the time it won't differentiate. Hope that helps.

You are wrong about some things. I've worked in a lab doing urine screens for years and I can tell you that opiates and heroin are tested diffrrently. Opiates that show up in opiate tests are oxycodone, hydrocodone, dilaudid, fentanyl. You are right that heroin metabolizes into morphine, and the others don't, that's why we have seperate tests for heroin and opiates. We recently started doing a seperate test just for Oxycodone, since that's become a huge problem around here. If we wanted to really see what's going on we would test for all 3. And of the client was taking heroin and perscription Vicodin trying to hide the heroin we could find it. We also have a seperate test for suboxone and methadone.

If the sample is sent to a lab, it will ABSOLUTELY show up. On instant tests, no, it will not show up. Same as suboxone or methadone, they don't show up on standard instant tests like at probation, or at a doctors office. But if your in outpatient where they seal your cup and send it to a lab, they can detect everything, anything, and how much.

You don't know what you're talking about. I take DOT/PHMSA drug screens, working for a midstream pipeline company. I take random all the time. Because of severe back pain, surgeries, pain management, I took 90mg/day immediate release oxycodone every day for 2 years. Never once showed up as an opiate on my drug screens. Now they've moved me to fentanyl 50/mcg/hr patch. Guess what? Still doesn't show up. These drug screens are no bulls***. They're sent to certified Government testing facilities and are extremely expensive for my company to comply with the mandates. I have nothing to hide and can't get in trouble if they did show up, but they never do.

Wendy, Thanyou so much for telling people the truth. First and foremost pharmacists, thru many of my expierences, seem to know a lot more then docs. For me common sense is, I was told fentanyl was a man made, and the old duragesic patch was real morphine! I took the morphine patch during the time people were dieing, because those patches were giving the person the med all at once. So again, I hope people listen to YOU

Well maybe you or someone can offer me advice. I have two scenarios for you to pick from. I have been taking fentynyl for months all negatives until a couple weeks ago where I tested positive on a Wednesday and Friday for oxycodone . Then next week my two tests were negative, and then the third week I tested positive on a Wednesday again for oxycodone. And have been negative again the past two weeks. Why? The only thing I've done besides the fentynyl is I've handled oxycodone a couple times randomly. So is it the fentynyl somehow coming up as oxy randomly? Or could somehow randomly touching a small amount of oxy in the summer time cause it to seep in my pores and make my tests positive? I'm baffled by this and would love any feed back

Hi, I Just Started 25 mg Fentanyl patch 1 every 2 days ....I'm worried because I just lost a pain doctor because I came out positive for COCAINE?? I was so pissed because there's no way I would jeopardize my medication. Everyone is right, they won't listen to us. THEY DROP US LIKE WE'RE DRUG ADDICTS.. So now im with a new doctor. I stopped all of those pain medications for the patch.. So your saying nothing should come out on my urine test now?? I take other medicine too. I'm just worrying a lot about it....

I would like to debate this one. I got a blood test and urine test for an upcoming yearly physical. Through the billing dept. that had wrong insurance info, sent me the test results. Now I go to pain management so my regular DR. does not give me any scripts for pain. My pain DR. has me on Fentanyl patches. Here is what it says I have in my system. Cocaine, Heroin, Methadone, Opiates 1 or more, Oxycodone, & Tramadol. I don't even know what Tramadol is. So if you say these things can't show up why do I have this report in front of me? I do not take any street drugs. I take the patches as required and I am just stunned that this is in my system. What's your take DR.?

For Timster, I am glad someone is listening to me. Last year I had just a urine test done as I was starting a new DR. (pain management) and he came in the room and refused to have me as a patient just through the urine test. They tested right on site at there office. And my urine test came back with heroin, oxycodone, cocaine and some other drugs. He thought I was a drug seeker. I was so mad I called my family DR. and told her what happened in which she did tell him my medical history. I use the Fentanyl patches because I can't take most drugs, I am allergic to a lot of things. This Dr. told me to go to rehab and I just told him where he could go. I don't ever take those drugs, and the only other thing I take is otc sinus tablets. I hope people are prepared to get results of some kind. Hopefully for anyone just taking what they are prescribed it only shows up that. I go to my pain DR. next week & I am going to take a copy of the results that were sent to me & find out just how it says I am taking all these illegal drugs. I will post after I see my DR. on the 10-06-15 & tell U what he says.

That's not even true. As a law enforcement officer oxycodone does show up as an opiate.

Maybe at your Dr's office but I can positively tell you it shows up at my Dr. I have to wait to get the results before I can leave the office and if it shows up anything that was not prescribed to me they wouldn't write out my scripts, they would quit me. I had to sign a paper to say I would not take any other pain meds from any other DR. except where I go to. I got a print out from my last urine test and here is what they tested me for. Ecstasy, Methadone, Methamphetamine, Opiates, Oxycodone, Phencyclidine, Antidepressants, Amphetamine, Barbiturates, Benzodiazepine, Cannabinoid, and Cocaine. Now this is a urine test only and it says if it's positive or negative.

Re: WhoFarted (# 8)

Why would my urine screen show positive for Fentanyl?? I have never taken anything but what has been prescribed to me or given during surgery. I don't understand. I do take quite a bit of meds... and I had a hysterectomy about a month prior to to this test. If I was positive for Fentanyl, why would I go pee for my Dr? You know?? It makes no sense for one, and I'm not like that for 2. I follow the rules and I only take what is prescribed. This Dr hasn't prescribed anything yet. I just get injections. What would cause a false positive? My mom put a CBD patch on my hip and I told my Dr and offered to go to quest or LabCorp to prove I wasn't positive for cannabis. I was worried about the possibility of that. And it was only on me for a couple of hours. I thought my mom put a lidocaine patch on... so I offered to self pay for a test that can show the difference between CBD and THC... and she said don't worry about it. Now this s***. I don't know what to do... Unless a hair sample. I hate being accused of something I know that I did not do.

Re: Confused Blue M30 (# 123)

The same thing is happening with me. I get tested for cps and the only thing that comes up in mouth swab is methamphetamines. No oxy m30s but I don't know if you know all m30s are not oxycodone anymore they can be counterfeit and made with fentanyl these days. It is rare to find a oxy pill that is legitimate. I took a urine test as well though too and it comes up saying no opiates just methamphetamine, so idk if it is eating away at the m30s and not showing up or what but it's happening to me too. It has to do with the fentanly I can almost guarantee it.
