I Have A Prescription For Hydrocodone And Been Taking It As Prescribed But Recently Took Urine Test Which Came Back Positive (Page 3)
Updated
Gary Says:
I have a prescription for Hydrocodone and have been taking it as prescribed. Recently I took a urine test which came back positive for not only Hydrocodone, but Oxycodone as well. I have only taken what has been prescribed to me, and do not take anything else. I do not know how Oxycodone showed up in this test. Any information, thoughts, theories would be greatly appriciated.

I don't understand this at all! Someone please help me with this!! Where do I go and what do I do?? How could this happen?? I was taking 4 x Oxy 5 a day at the time of the test. I don't understand this - I can not live in this kind of pain (failed back surgery and osteo arthritis of hip and pelvis). PLEASE HELP!!

Dorethy,
I had the same thing happen to me. I had a failed back surgery, and even the Pain Mngmnt Dr. said I should be in pain because of some pinched nerves. I take as prescribed, took a test in April. Then my June appt.they made me take another. In July I was called and told both tests came back that I hadn't been taking my meds, and that they wouldn't be prescribing them again. I was accused of selling or giving away my pills-basically calling me a felon. I was devestated. Not only was I worried about the pain and the accusations, I was scared about going through withdrawals.They caused me to become dependent-after taking them for a year-then left me on my own to deal with WD. I even asked for help since I knew I was going to WD, and they said no. I went to my PCP and he is prescribing my meds, but now I don't want to go back to that Dr. for injections or any other forms of Pain Mngmnt because I feel like they will be looking at me like I'm a criminal!

I know all too well, I was terminated by mine, because they said I had methadone in my urine...which I have never taken. But, the guy in front of me in the lab that WAS on it. And the "nurses", or whatever they are..NEVER changed gloves...(yes, I notice these things)...HMMMM....
We are just cattle, herded thru...at 150 dollars a pop...nice racket they have...

After you take an employment drug screen can the labs. Dr. ask what the reason is for getting this medication prescribed to you. Can't they only ask if you have a prescription for the meds. that showed up on the lab. test? I would appreciate it if anyone can answer this for me.

I would ask for a blood test. This will show up what was taken. Were you given the test at the Drs. office or was it sent out to a lab. for testing. If you are taking your meds as prescribed then demand a re-test immediately. If it is sent too a lab. they generally do a split screen and keep just in case they need to do a test over again. If done in Drs. office ask right away for another test to be done. Stick to your guns.

Hi , I know this was posted a long time ago but i wanted to document and reply for anyone else who sees this string for info KNOWS that these pain clinic urine tests CAN ABSOLUTELY BE INCORRECT and it's ridiculous that the people/drs who work there make you seem and feel like a liar when they should be aware that these tests can be inaccurate! And, i agree that these places can be a nightmare and i really think the one I'm unfortunately going to is a scam. And, i am living a nightmare right now. I have never delt with pain clinics (my rheumatologist always prescribed my Vicodin because i have lupus along with another auto immune connective tissue disease. I had to go to this pain clinic to have an epidural for two very bad bulging discs) The epidural went very wrong and the moment i woke up my left hand fingers , hand & arm were in EXCRUCIATING PAIN to where my skin couldnt be touched even by water. My nerves were affected (which I was told was rare and they think i have RDS that the epi made full blown. I went back the next day to get IV steroids and pain meds because in one day my feet, back, neck, arms, hand was affected. Dying in pain , young, little boy, lots of farm animals..I needed to get relief from the pain. There's a lot more to this story which i sware is unbelievable to me when strong drugs are being given out but it would be too long but I was prescribed by them first visit oxycodone, second visit month later still dying of pain prescribed fentanyl patches and 180 oxycodones. I stopped taking the oxys completely. I threw them away and next visit was prescribed Vicodin which I asked the dr assistant for which I sware they are clueless about these drugs...the dr. Had only seen me twice out of 4 visits. The vicodin had too much tylenol in it for my liver so last week i had to go back in AGAIN and asked for norco that had less tylenol in it. I had to give a urine test which ive never done before and it came back positive for OXYCODONE when i hadnt taken one of them in a month! Told the guy i had taken only vicodin that am which was the TRUTH. Looked at me like i was a liar and when i said theres something wrong with that test and asked if it can be false he said shook his head no and said you must have taken one in the past 4 days. I was pissed because i DID NOT take the oxy and i was not lying..so, he wouldnt change my script to lower dose tylenol and now i have to go BACK IN tomorrow am to finally see the dr again. 4 times in 3 weeks. There is some way that these tests can come out wrong and I feel horrible for the people that got dropped. I had no idea what these places were like. I never want to go back there after this nightmare that happened there to begin with is over. Not EVERYONE abuses these drugs or sells their scripts. They need these drugs to function and don't get high off of them. I actually freaked out and hated the feeling when I took too much Vic by accident. It's maddening that now so many people abuse them that it makes it even more difficult and horrible for the people who are suffering! Sorry..just had to get that off my chest.

When the medical review officer contacts you, you do not have to tell him or her why your getting the meds. Only that you have prescription and the number on the bottle. He may ask the Drs. name but you do not have to tell them why. I had one done four months ago and he said you do not have to answer this if you don't want to, why are you taking these for? I told him I did not want to answer that this was between my Dr. and myself. He then just asked for script number and pharmacy name and number.

We had a soldier that is prescribed Hydrocodon -acetaminophen and
ibuprofen and Cyclobenzaprine for an injury. During our UA he popped hot for Oxycodone. The soldier says he has only even taken the upbove, he was terrified and shaking at the thought of being discharged for a crime he did not commit. How common is it for Hydrocodon to show up as Oxy?

Your comment is fairly accurate as to doctors not having to treat you and can drop you.
However, when it comes to them prescribing narcotics that your body got physically use to ( I don't mean addiction and physically use to and addiction is different)
they just can't stop treating you cold turkey. The have to put you on a detox plan.
I suggest anyone on here who rinds yourself in a similar situation.

I go to pain management once a month for severe joint pain caused by years of gout and other problems . I am prescribed 120 10 lortab per month . However last month I had a kidney stone so instead of taking one pill at 8 12 4 and 8 I would take one and sometimes two during the night . I started running low so I would only take one when I was in severe agony . I ran out about one week ago so I started taking some 325 hydrocodone that I had left from about a year ago . I doneed to test POSITIVE in three days so can they tell the difference between the two or does it come out that you just have it in your urine . Also how quick are they to up your pill count if you need more . I don't want to say or do anything that will jeopardize my contract but I need help . Any response would be appreciated .

If u gt 90 pills a month that's allows you 3 pills a day so u need to save enough pills for a gud 4 r 5 days worth and make sure the 4 r 5 days before your appointment r drug screen u take r medication as prescribe. So 5 days before make sure u only take the 3 pills a day so u will have the right amount in r system

yes your Dr will be able to tell the difference sorry, but lortab or hydrocodone are all in the same family as codeine except more pure morphine is in a category of its own good luck it may be out of system in 4 days but trace's will show look on line how long it last and depending on the Mg too you took.
