Updated

Can they tell in a lab test how much you are taking?

Yes, they can. In many cases, when someone is in pain management, the doctor uses a certain mathematical formula based on the prescribing frequency, the dosage, the person's age, weight, health and etc. to figure out an estimate range that their levels should fall in.

Anything that goes much higher or lower than that range alerts them to a possible problem.

Is there anything else I can help with?

What is the mathematical formula doctors use to determine the range your levels should be in? I'm looking at results of my urine drug screen and cannot understand if the test is ok or not. The hydromorphone level in my system is 334 ng/ml and I'm on 30 mg extended release every day. My alprazolam level is 540 and I'm on 2 mg/day of that. I should've passed. Did I?

I was taking my meds like I should. The doctor evidently thought my Xanax level (over 500) was appropriate for my dose of Xanax daily.

He did not think the level of narcotic in my system was enough ? (I guess) It was over 350 - I am on a low dose of time released med for injury on job with chronic disability/damage, and had not taken med that day yet. Lab didn't even ask me when I took my meds last or the dosages. I thought that was odd since other labs always have before. Now he has cut me off pain med, actually labelled me as possible 'diverter' ? Put in my chart for no one to give me narcotics.
How could my Xanax be right & not my pain medicine when I was taking both like I should?

I want to clear my name of this slander, but don't know how. I tried to go to another doctor - they accused me of "doctor shopping" - even tho he was first doctor I went to after moving to new area away from old doctor AND he told me he was going to stop accepting Work Comp which is my insurance, I told him at time I'd look for MD that took Work Comp. then says I was doctor shopping? (His office is also LONG distance from my home and I wanted MD closer esp duing winter)
He abeled me a drug abuser! If he thinks I'm a drug abuser/diverter - WHY is he still prescribing Xanas and several other non-narcotic meds to me that can be abused? I am very frustrated, in withdrawal after FIVE years on same dose (I NEVER asked for more in 5 yrs or for it early), and I am in MUCH PAIN, unable to function.
His note contained inaccurate info about me which will now be passed onto other doctors - most too busy today to get involved in drama of conflict between patient & doctor.
I'm going to start tape-recording my doctor visits since this last one claimed I said/he said things totally false. Sev things - 3 of them I can prove through hard black & white paper copies! I'm proving everything from now on proactively to prevent prejudiced, incompetent doctors from messing me up with biased opinions (MD talked to work comp ins rep and then wrote note saying what ins rep wanted him to say - I'm not joking - my mouth fell open at some of the incorrect statements=esp ones easily disproved.) I intend to fight them in the spring after bad weather & I find different doctor.

I go to Pain Mgmnt, I am on oxycodone 30mg. (4) per day, I took one 10/325 Vicodin the other day. When I go for my urine test at Pain Mng. will the Vicodin show up as being different than Oxycodone? I don't want to get booted over one stupid pill. Please advise accordingly. Thank you.

I am prescribed Oxycodone 30mg 5 times a day for back pain but, I only take 3 30 mg pills a day. Today my Dr office ask for a urine sample so that they could send to the lab. I don't know what type of test the lab does. What I need to know is can they tell that I have not been taken the correct amount. Will I be ok when the test comes back? I can't afford to lose this Dr since there are not any others. Please help.

Depending on your doctor and whether you have told him you take less than prescribed sometimes, like on a 'good day' - you will probably be labeled as a risk. You may be called a 'drug diverter' (drug dealer). I've been RN many years with excellent reputation & no signs of 'drug seeking' or abuse. DID NOT MATTER. My labwork slightly off from norm
I was taking my meds - one came up right level, for reason I don't know, the morphine showed up low so doc accused me & cut me off w/o second chance or test to ensure results correct. 90% of these labs are NOT certified and often come up with inaccurate results. Also, I've researched - the pH of your urine, your metabolism, your activity level days before test, wt, & many facts can influence test results but doctors being pressured by govt to avoid prescribing narcotics. Guess they can legalize marijuana, but people with chronic pain can just suffer. Good luck.

I take/ prescribed methadone, kolinipin & ultram everyday. Wednesday (about 8pm) I took 2 of my husband's 30mg roxycodone & then again took two more on Thursday one in the morning & one in the afternoon. I have a drug screen today at about 2:30 that will be a dipstick test by then they send it to the lab. I'm pretty sure it'll pass the dipstick test based on the half-Life of roxycodone & how it breaks down. My question is do you think I'll pass the test sent to the lab? How long do roxy's show up positive when sent to the lab? Using the half-life of roxycodone & using the formula of dividing the amount milligrams divided by two over & over & using 4.5 hours to be safe rather than the actual 3hours it shows I should be clean with >0.001 in my system in 63 hours. Does anyone know if the same is true when sent to to the lab? Will my lab results come back with a negulitive amount of less than 0.001 for a lab test as well? Any opinions would greatly be appreciated!! I absolutely can't afford to lose my doctor. I've been on methadone for almost 11years. I rarely ever take anything unprescriped to me & I'm very nervous.

I take er oxycodone 20mg 4 times per day. That's one every six hours. Well the immediate release pills don't last a full six hours so I have to take them between 4 to 5 hours apart to deal with my pain levels. And my pain management clinic just did my first urine drug test. Can they tell that you are taking your meds sooner than the six hour time frame? I am so scared that they will mark me as non compliant and fail me. So how many hours and days can the test go back and show levels in a person's urine? I have had three nurses that come to my home to administer my IV antibiotics state that the oxycodone ER just don't last a full six hours to manage pain, so I know I am right about that being the case. Do I have anything to worry about regarding my drug test? Or am I already in deep trouble?
