I'm on probation and take monthly drug tests. I am prescribed hydrocodone for severe pain and take the regularly. My PO has said that my drug tests has shown positive for hydrocodone and hydromorphone everytime. I've never taken hydromorphone. I do understand somewhat that hydrocodone does metabolize into hydromorphone.
My main question is:
Does hydrocodone metabolize into hydromorphone automatically or is there a certain amount and length of time taking hydrocodone in order for it to change into hydromorphone?
Sorry for my ignorance on this topic. My PO scares the shit out of me.
Thanks
