Oxycodone Show If Not Taken For A Few Days?

Updated

I take 5 Oxycodone in a day, I'm in pain mgt. but for the last 8 days or so I have not taken any, and wouldn't you know it my doctor decides to do a urine test on me, sheesh. Any other time would have been fine, that's just my luck. My question is: will this urine test they gave me show that I have not taken my oxy for several days? Or what could the outcome be. Any help on this will be grateful.

Yes, if it has been that long, a urine test will show that you have not been taking it. Urine is processed very quickly through the body and most drugs are processed out of it in as little as 24 hours.

Is there some reason you aren't taking it? Oxycodone is a very potent narcotic and if you do not need it to manage your pain, then why would you keep getting it from the doctor?

No it wont, they take a good while to get out of your system, if u didnt take them in like 2-3 weeks and they tested you and ur urine wasnt positive for anything then they would know. why u sell them?

You should always have the good sense to take your pain meds for at least 48 hours before each appointment. If you don't they may assume you don't need them, and take you off them. Or the more cynical may assume you sell them, and the result is the same, they take you off them. *If*, however, you can show them you still have exactly the quantity you *should* have, and stress that you try to take them only if you need them, you *might* skate, but, being a cynic myself, I wouldn't count on it.

If you are allowed to go to the restroom alone, I'd suggest (Just this once, mind you) that you crush them up, snort them, and wait an hour before you give that thUA.

Since absorption is only 45%, I'd suggest snorting twice your dose - since you probably don't shoot the pills, and don't have the stuff to shoot them, snorting the quickest way to get them into the urine, but the metabolites will still be skewed, but at least they will be there. I don't know if they watch you provide the sample, of if they take a blood test when you can't provide a specimen for a UA, and I don't know exactly how much the metabolites will be affected (skewed), but this should work.

Just make sure you take them constantly from now on, so you don't have to do this.

Edited : Added the addendum restating that you should only double the single dose when snorting it, (after you've been off it & need to get the right amount of metabolites in your blood) due to nasal absorption vs oral absorption. ratios. Also, edited body of post to add that only the single dose should be doubled. and edited for accuracy.

The MAIN reason doctors make you give a urine sample in this area is that they are looking for street drugs...ie cocaine,etc. They want to make sure you are a legal junkie...they just want to see if you are a drug abuser in general

i had to go threw the same thing. i had to take a random u.i. at my pm dr. and i also pissed clean. however i knew that i had not taken them for several days prior to going so i told them i had a job interview and i took some stuff to clean my system the night before cause the job i was applying for wouldn't hire me if i tested positive for opiates and they bought it. opiates DO NOT say in your system for 30 days they can remain in your system for up to 48 hours dependent on the MG and how often you take them. also your height and weight are a factor as is any medication a dr. would prescribe....

Are you serious? Get a job!! There are people that actually need them, and would give anything not to need them. What kind of crazy would tell you to snort them? I can't believe someone has the B---s to post on the internet. Hope you have lost sleep over your little worry, cause I have lost plenty due to pain, and don't appreciate people like you ruining it for those who need them!

I am with you on this.I live in Florida and I am having trouble even getting my medication.I have a long list of reasons for needing them, and have many MRI'S to back them up. The reason I am having trouble getting them is due to DEA new laws because of people that abuse them such as snorting them.I agree if You went 5 days without them then you shouldn't be worried about the doctor not giving them to you.If I can't get my meds I don't know how I will be able to go to work.SSI will not pay my bills so I have to work for a living and my Doctor helps me stay employed. If you people who don't need them and only want to abuse them or sell them would stop the rest of us who do wouldn't have this problem.

Its such a shame as i read all of the things said and if your taking 5 oxy a day and stop for days your going to have withdraws so anyone like myself being on this type of med for over ten yeras knows why one would asking questions like this.Your selling them and on top of all this it pisses me off being i hurt because ones that do so have caused this war on dr giving drugs and the good element cannot get the help they once could and heres a hit,dont think the dea and the fbi doesnt have people monitor these forms,they DO,I happen to know this for a fact.As the old saying goes you can run but you cant hide.Im very seriouys about what i have stated.Onr other thing,these athorities can find you faster than you can get to bed,

Thank you!! I hate to be judgemental, but some of these idiots on here are the same people that have made life even harder for true sufferers of chronic pain. I hate that I have to go every month to the Dr., but for two years, my med counts are always correct and my UA is always proper and accurate. Then to deal with searching pharmacy after pharmacy who don't have my meds because of abusers clearing them out and forcing strict DEA guidelines, leading to shortages and recompostion of meds that make them less effective on pain..all because of idiots who abuse them. Life for a young father in pain is already a nightmare. Now, because of junkie jerkoffs like some of these people, they have created an environment that makes getting slight relief of pain, so we may live our lives a little bit better, much more difficult and creates a whole new challenge, as well as blurs the line between legitimate pain sufferers and pill junkies. Anyways, thanks for your post.

Who are you people to accuse this person of selling her meds without knowing a thing about her situation!? You should all know that thousands of arrogant pharmacists who think they have more authority than drs are refusing to fill rx's from legit physicians for this drug. How do you she couldn't find a pharmacy near her to fill it? Take a look at all the other oxycodone questions- more than half ask where to get their rx filled because they can't find one that will and some have gone MONTHS without it due to pharmacists' negligence. You may very well be in this situation soon and then how would you like it if you had ignorant people calling you an a hole and immediately accusing you of dealing drugs? Grow a brain and some empathy. Your pain isn't more important than someone else's pain.

@verwon: some people have pain that comes and goes in waves of severity. You don't know if this person had a natural treatment that helped temporarily or just had the chance to become immobilized for 8 days, while normally they may be forced to perform physical tasks. There are plenty of reasons why someone could choose not to take a medication regardless of how "powerful" it is. That wasn't the question.
Anyway, to answer your question, it's likely the oxycodone will no longer be detected in your urine, but if you bring in your remaining meds for a pill count, your doctor will likely be comfortable with that. If you had none of the drug in your urine and could not produce the correct number of pills, most pain management physicians would refuse to see you again as a patient. Pain clinics are very strict on their rules. However, be very honest from the beginning and let your doc know why you felt you could go without the oxycodone for that long. If its because you found another remedy that helped so much you may not need it anymore, let him or her know, and he can bump you down to a less potent pain medication. Some doctors still may let you go as a patient, but the more empathetic ones will likely let you slide if you have a correct pill count. Others may bump down to a less potent drug regardless of why you said you went without.

Wow, the forts thing I thought was why would you stop taking your meds & be In pain? 2nf was, holy crapyou would be so sick from withdrawals! If we can see you obviously don't need pain meds for any medical reason. I'm so very sure your Dr. Will too. Gosh, & the person who told her to snort the medicine, what are you thinking? You are so wrong to even suggest such a thing. What is wrong with you people?
