I will be going for a job interview at some point next week, more than likely it will be early in the week ( in about 3 days) today i took 4 10mg methadone pills. It will be a saliva test that i have to take, how long will the drug be detectable in a saliva test?
Thanks! Yous answer helped me. Im curious now for the swab same reason as others , job interview. Im a cna and i need this job,been out of work seven months.
I'm no expert, I can only speak from experience and I was drug tested for a job yesterday and it was specifically marked as methadone was one of the things tested for (on paper at least) and I take 80mg per day everyday and I passed it no questions asked. I don't know how and I don't know if they mark it to try to scare you into admitting to something but 100% passed.
I do know that places have to do a specific and specialized test to detect it and I'm guessing they don't want to pay up for it but expect by making sure you see that it's on the list that you will tell someone.
I don't know about how many people get this for pain management but I know for me and everyone I know it's for addiction treatment and I'm definitely not going to apply for a job and admit to drug abuse without them managing to find it first.
Don't rat yourself out!!
I have been taking liquid methadone for 5+years and have taken 100mg that entire time. I recently stopped using it and during that time had many urine screens at the methadone clinic I attended. I assure everyone that the test must test specific for methadone for it to show up in urine or saliva. I don't know detection times but I quit cold turkey and know I felt my body detoxing for 10+ days. No methadone and norcos do not show up as barbiturates and aren't even the same. Methadone is a synthetic opioid and norcos are an opiate.
Was just wondering if I took 3 on a Saturday will I b good by the following Friday??
That is not true. I just had a saliva test a week ago and I had methadone and Percocet in my system and the methadone showed up.
I took a methadone 10 on wed was just orally swabbed today will it show up..I weigh 122 pounds and am 5'5 also have a high metabolism.. And took 80 milligram water pills will I pass
for sure how long after taking pill form methadone for about a week n a half how long it can it b detected on a saliva swab test?!?
I have a question for u I have a drug test coming up in two maybe three days and I've done methadone for alomost two years I bet the test then my last test came up.positive and so the method I was using no longer works. Do u have any ideas of things I can do.or take to pass the test?
Robin, it was an oral mouth swab you took 3x for 9 months or urine? You say you dropped and that makes me think urine I need to know about an oral mouth swab.
If I take 10 milligrams of liquid methadone on Friday will I pass a mouth swab the following Wednesday please it's very important if someone could really help ME out thanx
I took 60mg of methadone Sunday morn i have to do a swab test on Wed. morn wi it show up?
I smoked two hits of a methadone pill on Friday and have to take a swab test on Tuesday do you think it will be out of my system.
Yes Julie I'm sorry but it will show as it is a synthetic opiate it shows up as methadone itself. A friend took 2 -10mg methadone and ten days later still showed positive. Although some blogs or posts will say things such as 5-7 days it can actually be detected for a much much longer period. My friend learned this lesson the hard way and seriously regrets it. Hope this helps
If i took (2) 10 millagram methadone in a 5 day spane and thats all the methadone ive ever taken will it be detevted in a swab test..
I take oxycodone regularly and benzoes. Im worried the methodone will show up when thats all the methodone i took...please answer asap so i dont worry.
I hate to say it but you defiantly will show positive for methadone
Hey I take 30mg of methodone daily. im trying to get a job im buying the wouthwash of line.. do u think I will psss?!
Yes it can I took two 10mg methadone on a Wednesday and tested the following Tuesday and was just informed I failed for methadone. A friend told me you can put lister one strips under your tounge right before testing and have a significant chance of passing. I make no promise however he did pass in a shorter timeframe than me. Hope this helps
Need help and fast... i took three 10mg methadone, Monday and have a drug test Wednesday... what's my chances of passing it?
Hi Daphne,
I'm 95% sure your screen will show positive for methadone..IF you have a legit prescription, tell them now..Methadone stays in the body a longer time than some other narcotics; 50Mg would prob show up for at least 10 days..at least that's been my experience..and no amount of drinking anything will purge it..good luck
I took 50 mg of methadone from 16th - 18th (Tuesday-Thursday) and I had to take a oral swab drug test today which is the 19th (Friday) am I going to fail this drug test??.. how many days or weeks does it usually take to have a passing drug screen??.. is there anything I can do like drink lots of cranberry juice/water to try to clean my system out a bit ?? Please I need answers, I've been trying to find a answer on here & keep reading different things every time!!
