I Take 1 Mg Of Klonopin Per Day Why Does It Not Show Up In My Urine Test? (Top voted first)

Updated

I take 1.0 mg of klonopin a day and as prescribed and it is not showing up in my urine test. The Doctor that prescribes my medication thinks that I am not taking it. Has anyone ever heard of this and if so what could be the reason for it not showing up in my urine test? The Doctor accused me of not taking my medication he prescribed. Yet offers no reason why it does not show in my urine.

This is COMMON read online and ask your doctor to look also. It OFTEN fails to show in urine tests. You can prove this by buying a cheap over the counter Benzo drug test...go to your doctor's office...take the pill and come back in 2 hours with the kit. Let them watch you pee and run the test themselves. It WILL be negative. You have to specifically test for this particular benzo for it to show up.

Ok, I am a methadone patient and have currently been in treatment for five years. Now, I too have had the same questions that many others on this thread have had and this is what my counselor at my methadone clinic informed me of. Although klonipin is considered a benzo it is not technically a benzo in the traditional sense. For one, it is non-habit forming, so you are less likely to become addicted, which is definitely not the case with other benzos such as xanax. Clonazepam(klonipin) also takes longer to metabolize in your system but it's positive effects last longer in the body which is a huge plus. Now, though it is classified as a benzo it is a different TYPE of benzo, and doesn't show up in almost all urine tests. I have even had several mouth swab tests and it still does not show up. And the main reason for that is because they just don't test for this particular type of benzo. Xanax shows up no problem, but when using that same test, klonipin will not show up at all. I hope this answer was a little more informative and helpful to you.

I'm so sorry that you and many others are going through this. I think you should take the medicine in front of your doctor and demand that he waitand then test you. But, I guarantee you though, it will still come up negative. I don't understand why some people in the medical field are informed and some are not, because Clonazepam is a different type of benzo and isn't specifically tested for. I understand your frustration, especially when you know you are telling the truth and you're being accused of something you're not doing. I hope these quacks do the proper research and realize that we are not lying. You are all in my thoughts. I hope you successfully overcome this unfair situation and may you swiftly get through this exhausting experience.

We've actually had a lot of similar posts from people with the same types of issues.

Klonopin contains Clonazepam, it is a Benzodiazepine and should, theoretically, show up on any test that is supposed to detect them.

However, the quality of the test, as well as other factors can affect this, such as your activity levels, your fluid intake and etc.

Have you tried asking your doctor for another test?

Or, perhaps as Brandon said, ask them to witness you taking the pill and then do another test in several hours.

yes, I was told by my doctor and counselor that if u r taking a "therapeutic" amount, it will not show up in a regular drug screening. Please tell me how much u had been taking on a regular basis. I am kind of in s similar situation and would like to hear back from u before I call my doctor. I need to hear the amount uv been taking on a daily basis. so that I know what I'm working with. I would seriously appreciate ur help, thanks so much

Same problem here, but not really a problem because I don't have to go through the trouble showing a script and all that stuff. I take 1mg usually everyday and sometimes more if I need too. Took 3 drug test already and negative everytime.

Possibly you might have something to worry about. Not that what your taking is illegal because you have a script but just for the fact that they might deny you because of the nature of the job. Its a liability for them if your taking something that might impair your judgement.

I have found out (thru my dr.) that low levels of klonipin don't show up on just regular testing!! I'm in that situation (read my posts) In order to test positive, they need to crank it up a notch (or 2)... it took a couple months, & some investigating to get this right!!
But, it's the honest truth, & since then, I've never had that problem...your Dr. needs a more hi-tech tester. Good luck...

Any form of methadone is completely completely te same it's all in our heads... I've been on all of them at different times. Only difference is if ur clinic isn't callabrating the dosing machine n it's dispensing Extra methadone or In some cases with liquid coming out of that tube droplets get stuck inside from the past dose n fall in it cup is common. But mg for mg. exactly the same As biscuits I'm on them now I waz on liquid for years b4 n its all the same

Methadose is a brand name, if you look at the bottle of methadose it shows the only active ingredient as methadone hydrochloride, if you think otherwise look up the chemical make up of the generic/brand names they are the same I have been on methadone since 2003 and have heard the same thing by a million people, it's crap. They are just too stupid to do research.

I have been on Methadone for 12 years. I have taken 190 mgs. per day and now I take 170 mgs. per day. I find diskets were longer lasting than liquid and I found out the cherry is stronger than methadose.
