False Negatives On Dilaudid

Updated

I was recently told by my Pain Management Doctor that my urine tests are coming back with a complete NEGATIVE for Dilaudid use. I am prescribed 2 Pain meds., the reason being I have collapsing spine. Its proper name is Spondylothesis and I also have severe nerve damage. I am constantly in a great deal of pain, have had 13 spinal surgeries from 1972 through 1991. Thus, the nerve damage and a bit of scar tissue thrown in. my last MRI showed 11 bulging discs in cervical, thoracic and lumbar parts of my spine.My question is what can cause a false negative on the urine test?

I am prescribed 600 mg. of MS-Contin and 24 mg. of Dilaudid daily. Naturally, I have a schedule as to when I take these meds. and try to keep as close to it as possible. I must also say that I take 6 OTHER medications prescribed by my Primary Physician. One of them is Simvastatin for cholesterol. Somewhere I read that Statins can cause false negatives with certain synthetic opiods, is this true ? HELP - Something is causing this false urine analysis for Dilaudid. He has told me if I have ONE more negative show up, I will be DISMISSED.

This topic has come up several times recently with people complaining about false negatives when using certain opiates and I am not familiar with anything about this and what may be causing it.

I will gladly look into it for you, but can you please post back and list ALL of your current medications?

Dilaudid is converted into a normal substace in your body taht I cant remember the name of (see winikipedia metabilism) Take 1 2-3 hours before seeing hime heck right in front of the receptionist if you have to and dont pee untll very last min. Should be pos then, but if it is neg he will know you are taking them. They are very short acting drungs and leave the body quick to. The metabolite after it goes to the liver is something we all make normally so it wouldnt show up after the metabolism.

I've been prescribed 8mg dilaudid, 150mg Lyrica by my Pain Management Dr. (& I take 50 MCG Levothyroxine for hypothyroid). At first, I wouldn't take the meds on the day of appt. because the meds made me nod out & I didn't want to cause an accident on my 40 min drive to Dr.s office. Thinking the meds stay in my system for at least a couple days, I'd do the urine test in Drs office & my test kept coming back negative. I was confused, but thought, maybe if I take it 1 hr prior to the test, then it'll show positive. Wrong. It came back negative again. Does anyone know why? And is there anyone else thats happened too?

HELP!! I'm being prescribed 4-4mg dilaudid per day and my urine samples are coming out NEGATIVE!! I have even been taking them in front of my Dr.s nurse, receptionist and my pharmacist. I'm also prescribed 5-40mg oxycontin per day. The oxycontin shows up in my urine everytime. Could my being overweight be the issue? I'm 6' and weigh 245lbs. My dose of didaudid isn't very high, so this is why I'm considering my weight to be the problem. Today a toxology test,and if my urine comes out NEGITIVE i'm going to be kicked out of the program! Does anyone know what could cause my urine samples to come out negative?? P.S. My friends urine was also coming out NEGATIVE for .05 clonazepam @ 4 a day. It turned out to be the Energy drinks that was the cause of false urnine tests. After stopping the Energy drinks, all urine tests came back positive!

I currently take 4mg dilaudid 4x o'er day. I had urinalysis test done at last visit and was told that my test was negative for dilaudid. My doctor yelled at me and accused me of giving them to someone else, or selling them. I was so embarrassed and hurt that my doctor could accuse me of this. I have had trouble throughout my treatment prior to moving to Florida for the same thing. I have one kidney, rheumatoid arthritis, high cholesterol due to having cysts on both adrenal glands. I know my metabolism is fast when it comes to medicines of any kind. I have woken up in 4 surgeries feeling everything...is there a way to be able to,advise Mr doctor of what's going on, or how do I get a test to show positive?

Your story sounds exactly like mine. The front office people are nimrods, first off. If you make one of them mad, they can do what they want to your urine sample, tell the doctor whatever they want, etc. My HIPPA rights were violated and I complained to management, right after that, they started saying my urine was negative for Oxymorphone and told me I was positive for Dilaudid, which I have never taken!! It didn't matter what I said to those young little twirps that think they know about pain management...I was released from my doctor and he was awesome!!
