Did your Dr. even bother to recheck you for false positives? Your story rings very legit as the PMD community has had quite a scare put into them by the new Rems (Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy) Policy. They run the risk of losing their licence over cases like yours but that does NOT mean that he should be allowed to fire you without making doubly sure that there were no false positives.
On the REMS front, I just got a request from my pharm for a prior authorization for a med that I have been Rx'ed for over 4 years without a need for such a thing. This med is CHEAP, about $35 for #90. Usually PA's are for expensive drugs but since this is for Dextro-Amphetamine Salts I think that they are really checking up on my source of the Rx, my psychiatrist. What a bunch of bother for the Chronic Pain community . . . Q

no! my dr. never talked with me sent a letter stating they won't see me not even explaining what was wrong. I sent a letter as all of my calls to the office were either hung up or not returned. a rn called me to inform me why I was dropped. even when I requested a new test answer was no you are out. I never took methadone and don't know anyone on it. now I cannot find any physician to help me and in the next day or 2 I will be going thru the physical part of not having any meds after over 15 yrs. oh, and by the way I requested my dr. put me in the hosp. several mos. ago to help me get down off the high dose of fentanyl he said he would do it over a period of time but never did start a reduction program I am getting the short end of the stick. my drs. have programs for prescrition drug abuse with all state fed and local police depts. but when it comes to their pts. when they don't like test results they dump them regardless of health problems they have.

Unfortunately, if a doctor uses the less expensive, non-certified tests, then other narcotics are known to cause false positives for their relatives anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

However, your doctor isn't obligated to keep treating you and do other testing to prove it was a false positive, just like you aren't obligated to keep seeing them and can switch doctors at any time.

The new regulations have scared many doctors and they just aren't willing to take a chance on losing their license.

I am very sorry this has happened to you and that you have to suffer now due to something that wasn't your fault, it is a very terrible situation.

The best advice I can give is that if your withdrawals get too bad, then go to your nearest emergency treatment facility, where if you are possibly in danger, they have to treat you and can't deny you assistance.

Does anyone else have any suggestions or advice to add?

well I guess it's up to me to get through this now. I will not go to a hospital where they will put me in a behavioral ward to treat me with clonidine. I guess the lie rate is very high when you say that you have not taken the drug that showed up noone will believe you.
