Methadone Urine Testing

Updated

If a patient is suppose to be taking 30mgs of Methadone in the Morning and 30mgs in the evening but takes 20mgs in the morning and 20 mgs in the evening and then does a urine test, can the doctor find out whether there is a total of 60 or 40 mgs in a patient, most of all if the patient has been on the Methadone for years?

So I am what you would call a former addict/ weekend warrior occasionally... I live in Canada so I don't face state or employer mandated urine analysis. But... I am unfortunately currently taking methadone, as prescription drugs were my drug of choice. I landed a very lucrative job in the past year and the only way I can continue to be employed by them is to keep all of my methadone carries ( take home drinks ) for my work hours interfere with clinic hours. I pee every Friday and if I'm dirty, I lose my carries.

So here is where my point comes back in play. There have been multiple occasions where I go on a methadone bender on the weekend and continue moderate use into the early week.. Never over a .5 from fri- tues/weds. three occasions Tuesday morning was my last use and one time Wednesday at about six pm. I pee Friday after work at roughly 3-4 and have never failed it.. 4/4 baby! To be one hundred percent candid with you, I really didn't do anything out of the ordinary to achieve these results. I am 5'8 with moderate health and weight. I do tend to drink a lot more fluids than your average man and I did make sure it was mostly water on these occasions. I have read that plays a large part in all of this. That is sincerely the only preparation my moronic, senseless and sweet self took, clearly disregarding the amount of damage it would do to my recovery if this employment was somehow terminated.

Now folks I know how Americans feel about us Canadians so I don't expect you to listen to me. Or, as a matter of fact, make it past the sentence where I proclaim my canadianism. But in a situation where you did I would probably advise you not to push the envelope and be as reckless and stupid as me. Give yourself ample amounts of time to purge your system. Or.. Maybe just refrain from methadone use in general.. I'm quite positive that studies show meth to be a little bad for you. Just a little though. If this situation does sneak up on you though, don't stress and beat yourself up. You already did it. Either figure out how to un-do it, right the wrong or learn from it like most of us fail to do time and time again. I really hope that this might ease someone's stress or lighten their mood a bit. This might not be the same for everyone as we come in all shapes and sizes. I have overcome what I thought was certainly my ultimate demise. Maybe you can share a similar fate.
