Oxycodone Showing Up As Hydromorphone In Drug Tests

Updated

I've been on oxycodone 15mg and oxycodone 40mg long acting for over ten years. My pm Doctor drug tested my urine and is telling me I'm testing positive for hydromorphone and wants to stop giving me my pain medication. I have never taken anything except oxycodone as required by my pm contract. How can I test positive for hydromorphone?

No one is responding to my question. I'm really frustrated can't eat, sleep, or think clearly. I assure you I've never taken hydromorphone or any pain killers other than my OxyCodone. I'm crying because I don't know how I'll be able to control my pain if they kick me out of pain management. I don't know if I can cope. I had a morphine pain pump for three years but had it removed two years ago. I don't know if it's possible for this to somehow be causing this positive result for hydromorphone. Please someone respond to my situation. I need any comments I can get.

Hello, I had a family member have this happen, there are different types and levels of drug testing. I've too tested positive for morphine when taking oxycodone. They need to synthesize the results down, usually a more expensive test, or as posted do a blood test.

If you are still having this problem, please see my post titled "Find cause of Unexpected Hydromorphone Positive test (GCMS)". I am tallying up circumstances for this problem to look for common threads and will post the results.

I'm on fentanyl, Dilaudid, and used to be diazepam (Valium), but vets are dead from respiratory failure, so they took that off.
Afterwards, I tested positive like you did. Has there been a change in your meds? If not, you want to file a grievance and insist on a blood panel. Print out these kinda posts and staple the copies to your paper when u give it to your DOC (NOT BEHIND HIS BACK OR OVER HIS HEAD)
The independent lab won't lie, call your insurance agency and ask if they have mediation to speak up for you.
Mine didn't, but I'm on state Medicaid. The complaint and request for blood should do it for you. Cry in desperation if u can muster it, and explain u know life isn't worth living without PM and u take it seriously. Seriously- good luck
