Not passing a opiate panel urine analyisis...

[City stars]

I have been on methadone for about a year now.. Today i took a urine test for my folks that was an opiate panel only. Long story short i failed and i havent used anything besides methadone in one full week..

Quite a few other substances can give a false positive for opiate panel urine tests - check any other medications you are taking. If your getting hassle from your parents and your sure you have not used anything have another test carried out by a doctor.

Drug testing etc isn't really something we discuss on the site as it can quickly turn into 'how to beat the system' etc.

I will move this over to Basic drug discussion.

I don't know for sure, but it seems likely methadone could give a positive result. Do they know you're on methadone?

Anyhow, that test is a joke, tell one of them to eat a poppy seed muffin or bagel and then test themselves an hour later.

Please forgive my ignorance and correct me if I'm wrong but isn't methadone a synthetic opiate or at least very similar?

 

[JessFR]

No you're right, sort of, technically synthetic opiate is a misnomer. Opiate implies naturally produced by the opium poppy, opioid is the generic term for all opiates and chemicals with opioid receptor agonistic effects. But most people, including me, use opiate as all encompassing. And yes, methadone is a synthetic opioid.

What I don't know is if methadone or other totally synthetic opioids like it test positive on the simple urine test kits.

False positives are a mf'r lol. No I'm serious. In my case, failing a urine would cause a lot more than being hassled by my parents....I wish. It meant going to jail.

For some reason, I got two false positives for Suboxone. I was taking prescribed morphine, which was registered by probation. Why the hell would I take Suboxone while on morphine??? I asked that question of them...and they were like "I know you didn't, sure...we believe you"


It was a real hassle....as Bear said, there are variables that cause false positives. Have your parents take you the Dr. and do a urine there.

Tell your parents you want a lab verified gc/ms or your running away.

^lol. Yeah, you've gotta fight for your rights. Go to the doctors office and re-test.

Sorry, I have to close this as Bluelight does not allow drug test discussion.
