From all of my research, everyone says that DOT is a 5 panel which does not test for synthetic opiates. No subs, no oxy and other things like that. However, the company I'm going to work for does a hair follicle test so I dont know if that's the same or not. Most that I've seen says they test for sometimes more things but Suboxone is still not one of them. plus my hair is bleached once a month, sometimes more, and dyed crazy colors. so idk if that effects it or not. most people say it will bleach out any results.

in my case I've never taken oxies or heroin. I only took lortab in the proper amount for a spinal cord injury that an anesthesiologist caused me to have permanent migraines for several years. that is until i found a nerve block treatment then started seeing a chiropractor that helped as well. i haven't taken anything but subs .5mg in the past 3 years and prior to that i took only suboxone for 3 years. you cant make a claim like that without realizing that not all cases are the same. each individual is different. i've never been reckless with medications. i've never taken them for a high. but i did learn the hard way that the pain meds doctors give out like candy can mess your live up all the same. and people get classified by those who dont know any better as unable to live productive lives or not trustworthy. i'm a mother of two and have a beautiful life. i'm talented and have alot going for me already. I am one year to completing my bachelors degree. i have absolutely no reason to be thought of as not able to do anything just because i take a medication that i don't even feel. it only stops bad problems that happen if i don't take it at least every other day. i usually skip a day because i dont need it. i have a ton left over because i take way less than what i'm prescribed. it naturally makes you not want to take as much over time due to the naloxone in it. i am normal when i take it. it doesn't hinder anything in my life. it doesnt hold me back. i know from 9 years of experience. there is a huge difference between taking a lortab and taking a suboxone. the difference is that it doesn't hinder your cognitive abilities what so ever. if it is properly managed and taken properly there is no reason why anyone would know any difference of someone taking it verses someone else. in fact everyone thought i just stopped taking the pain meds. they had no idea i was taking suboxone the whole time. i only even think to take it when i'm going to sleep and realized i havent taken it in a couple days. you totally dont know what you are talking about.

I have a CDL Class A License. My problem is I'm going for a pre-employment test to drive OTR for US Xpress. They require their own training. I've been prescribed Subs for the past 6 months. 16mgs a day. I specifically asked the recruiter who told me "they test for everything," but didn't seem that knowledgeable about the medication and sent me a waiver form my doctor says he cant sign off on. "Everything" sounded more like a scare tactic but I'm still worried. I've been told The DOT and most carriers don't test for it. It's a urinalysis and I'm pretty sure its just a 5 panel like most places, but I don't know and I'm scared is all. I use it as prescribed and for therapeutic uses, as I'm a Marine Veteran with pain and some depression issues. I've never been in an accident in my life. I'm just scared of traveling half was across the country with my last few bucks, only to be turned away. People kill themselves over less drama than that so its pretty important to me. If anyone knows that can help I'd appreciate it. Just trying to get my life together.

Most companies, such as C.R. England and Schneider, are also doing a secondary follicle test. From a website that claims that they are the company for them and others like them, they show the normal 5 plus an additional few that are optional for a total of 8 or 9 dcalls tested in all. Suboxone is not on that list.

Source: "Hair Follicle Drug Testing", dtpm.com. Web.

Can anyone confirm this from personal experience with the hair follicle test?

So what? People on subs should stay at home and sit on their hands doing nothing with their lives? It saves lives. It allows families to stay together and keeps people out of prison. Don't put people down who are going in the right direction. Don't think people classify themselves as normal just BC they are taking a medication either. Anyone who has been addicted to something like lortabs are painfully aware that suboxone must be properly managed as without it they know they'll be in a world of hurt, but with it they can be proper functioning members of society.

..... if you're taking Subs, it is because you have issues with natural production of Endorphins due to some form of opioid replacement. Whether you were given pain medicine for an injury or simply became addicted due to purposely abusing opioids for a high the effect is the same. For a period of time after stopping an opioid the body will not produce the required endorphins (and more) which allow a person to function normally. Once the withdrawal period has ended, the person can go back to regular life (with some lasting effects such as years of insomnia for examp). The individual is very likely to experience cravings and relapse rate is HIGH! If you're taking subs you want to re-think any career which is going to require you to drop the medication. Sure it can be done..... but have you tried quitting subs yet? Do you think it's smart to be like "well hey, I'm clean now. I used to have a problem with oxy and heroin but with suboxone I was able to stop all that. Now I am a normal regular person who goes to work every day. Now I that I feel great about myself (thanks to the help of suboxone) and I no longer need oxy/heroin, I'm going to enter a career which requires 3 or 4 times per month drug testing."

One of the most common effects of Suboxone is it's Amazing ability to take a dope fiend who is completely unhirable or unfriendable and within 1 day of taking the medication the user begins to feel "Normal." After only a week or two of taking Subs, it is NOT uncommon for the user to actually believe that they are cured. It feels like they are cured. They act Cured. Their finances seem cured. They seem hireable. Now, lets say the user loses his pills one month..... loses ALL of them. Doctors are often weary about replacing lost/stolen Bupe. What happens to the user? They regress to being sick in withdrawal and their mind has ZERO chance of ignoring the possibility of using Oxy/Heroin to remove the withdrawal symptoms.

Don't let the Bupe trick you to thinking you're normal. Don't try to start a career (especially if it costs money for school or start-up) which is going to come to a GRINDING HAULT once you have 1 mistake on a drug test.

Look at another job. Maybe in 5 to 7 years after getting off Bupe/subs then you could handle being a DOT driver. Don't be one of those people who are like "i can do this. i have will power. I'm stronger than you. I can prove it to myself." and remember the only person who cares about your career is you (and maybe your dependents). Before you try to make a decision that could affect your family's income...... ask yourself: have i tried to quit bupe for even 1 year? have you tried it for 6mo? have you tried to quit for 1 month?

I just want to be sure b4 I take it. Typically it's a minuscule amount, however if my U/A is dirty again without a prescription I'm DONE.

I have always wanted to ask someone in an HR position a few questions. First I have always worked desk jobs so danger isn't a factor for me. I am prescribed anxiety and a light pain medication. Do some companies secretly discriminate against this? Also I can't even tell when these low dosages kick in so I never have that high look or any change in personality so do they look at that also? I could understand if I was acting different.

I have been on suboxone since 2005. I have passed every DOT EXAM and other companies test. I have never failed a drug test for anybody. I am a class a driver. The only downside to all this is if you have been on them for a long time, you do feel sometimes like your handcuffed. Meaning you need the meds and you can not take a road trip without. Tried to come off many times under the care of my dr, I couldn't. I will try again and again until I do. I just hope I don't go back to that other s***. This medication saved my life and my marriage more than once.

This is all so confusing,getting answers about the use of soboxon,it shows,it don't show./letter from your dr, if prescribed. I just read here!!! If you don't tell them your on it,they won't know, but if you get in an accident and it comes up ,they know!! But I'm reading it doesn't show....???? Is the test diffrent at an accident, than reg drug test?
My question is this!! Soboxon 2 mg daily,is not enough to alter your mind or driving ability in any way at all,yet this medication is highly addictive. Does the dose have any bearing on weather they ok you to drive CMV.???? THE DOSAGE FOR DAY????

I've got a dot test Friday, I only take a tiny sliver of a sub to keep the crazy leg syndrome away, hope everything goes well. Not my first, I've taken HF and UA for five years and passed, but this test is for a new company for which I've been taking subs for about 6 months now.

I have been taking buphrenorphine for over ten years at 24 mg per day. Yes it is a high dose but i feel nothing euphoric about it. I concentrate better than on opiates or nothing at all and i operate dangerous equipment that will kill you if in the wrong spot. I have better wits about me than many of the other employees who take nothing. I have quicker reaction times at the stop lights than others and observe things that others wont catch that are sitting next to me. I drive many miles everyday and drive safer than when i was younger. Everyone else i speak to that is on sub has said the same thing. It is a very safe drug when used correctly. Now if i quit for two weeks then went back to my full dose i would be high with no care in the world.

Thanks for the information. I was scheduled to have my DOT fiscal today but my doctor was so kind as to call me and tell me that they could not issue a health card while I was being prescribed subutex. I never heard that before today. Thanks again.
