Suboxone Does Not Show Up As An Opiate (Page 2)

Updated

I wanna say first Im not on here tryin to be a dr people are gettin the wrong idea but unfortunately i have been on the medication for almost 5 yrs bc of shady drs(but thats another story) an know alot about the drug an thats why i am on here to try to help out others.When it comes to drug testing Suboxone does not show up as an opiate it doesn show up at all,when you go to the Dr they use a certain test that tests specifically for Suboxone.Suboxone is under the opiate category but is not actually an opiate if that makes sense,when a drug is put out on the market it has to be under a category whether its opiate,benzos,etc,so they put it under opiates,but since it really isnt an opiate it does not show up as an opiate in a drug test,its kind of complicated but if you discuss it with your dr he'll be able to explain it better

I am trying to test positive for opiates, because I have a script for them and I cant get into a methadone clinic if I test 100% clean. To clarify why I dont just take a lortab and go piss... all my records are being sent to a certain governent agency and I cant have the other drugs show up. The consequences are very bad. I have stopped using since i was told of my situation, getting high is not worth the consequences I would face. Can I put a lortab in my wiznator? Dont know what the breaking down of hydrocodone would be in synthetic urine, compared to metabolizing in my body and changing the molecular structure. Any rapid detox for boy and girl? Heavy using. Not worried about withdrawals. I have subutex and the panel screen I get does not test for Bup. Does heroin show up as an opiate or do all 8 -10 panel test show the type of opiate.

I know this is a late respond..but ive been on Suboxone for a few years now and and last week went for a drug test for probation which they recently changed from a urinalysis to a mouth swab that u hold in your mouth for 10 mins or until it turns blue..Anyhow my probatiin officer called me in a couple days ago questioning me why my drug test was positive for opiates..I xplained about being on Suboxones and she even replyed it shouldnt show up as Opiates..Well it did..Not sure if the new test has something to do with it or not..Im just letting you and anybody else thats looking for answers on here that my test definately showed up POSITIVE for opiates!! The reason i came to this website was to look for answers and i see everybody posutive that it doesnt show up.Let me add that for the past 3 years ive tooken over 50 test and have never tested positive for opiates until last week so it may be that its the new test they R giving..Hope this helped somebody ;)

How long does it take for suboxone to clear your system in order for it not to show on bup test? I've been taking 8mg for a few days. I was using opiates for over 20 yrs and got tired of taking more and more because it just didn't work. I would go through scripts and buy more off street when I ran out. Anyway my friend got on strips (because we were in the same rat race together) and she encouraged me to try them...I did,and the are wonderful and work. Works so well I have a few lortab left fro a script!My problem is I want to go to doc for myself but don't want bup to test positive...I was going to take a tab do that will be in my system so I hopefully can start a sub program! Any suggestion or advice appreciated!

When I went to my 1st Suboxone appt I told my Doctor that I have been buying Subs off the street for the last 2 months..They asked how many and how often just be honest with them..If you take 1 suboxone today tomorrow it will show as if you took a half one..then the next day it will show a quarter etc..The doctors not only have test that shows up if your positive or negative for suboxone but also shows how much is in your system..Dont go backwards and take the loratab that you have because in order for the Doctor to get you started on the program you have to be in the withdrawal stage of opiates for them to get you started on the subs..Like I said just be completely honest with them and they will get you fixed up :) Congrats on a step in a better direction.. Use the Subs for just long enough to get you over your pain pillj addiction ..You stay on them too long coming off of them will make coming off any other drug in the world seem like a walk in the park..Good Luck and GOD BLESS

Hi Lynette, I replied to you before but I quess it got lost. Anyways, Shonda is 100% correct. Most sub drs. have seen this before. People have been buying subs on street or getting them from friends to avoid wds. since they were invented. Just tell Dr. the truth. Be careful with taking subs and tabs or whatever around the same time. Your suppose to be in wd. before taking subs. You never want to go into a precipitated wd. It,s terrible! Good luck with your sobriety!

I have been on suboxone for 4 years now and it saved my life; literally!! I would not be here today if I had not found a doctor that was willing to put me on suboxone. My problem is that I take a monthly urine test at my doctors office. There are times when the suboxone comes back as "negative" -- meaning there was NO suboxone found in my urine. I take my meds! I NEVER miss a dose and I take it exactly as prescribed. My doctor does not understand why my test comes back negative. He has no other patients that has this problem. . He says that if this keeps happening he will have to take me off of suboxone. I feel that at times he doesn't believe that I am being honest. There is a high demand on the street for this drug in my area and I feel that he may think Im selling my meds. Please help!! He says that he cannot keep giving me the med if it doesn't show up on my urine test and medicaide will stop paying for it. I totally understand how he feels but it is embarrassing and scary. I TAKE MY MEDS JUST AS THEY ARE PRESCRIBED !! What do I do to convince my doctor that I am not lying to him? He says the drug test doesn't lie so there has to be a reason this is happening.

I am prescribed suboxone and I have been doing really great about not needing any pills. Every once in a while i won't be able to stand the urge and just have to do one even though I've had a sub that day. Since the sub's are an opiate blocker will the pill show up in the drug test or does the sub counteract it?

The reason for that may be those medications are LONG ACTING, adn their "half life" is longer. Therefore, depending on how much and how often they were used, they may be in the system longer than any other regular OPIOID (heroin)

NO YOU WILL NOT TEST POSITIVE! BE ASSURED. Did a 10 panel two weeks ago. Unless you want to spend your hard earned money for a over the counter Drug test needlessly. They would have to test for That DRUG specifically! As IN "They are looking for a needle in a haystack" OH Forgot to Say: Passed my EMT In Shelby County Tennessee!

I have been clean from heroin for 2 months...amen......but I have been taking just little cut off strips of suboxone on days where my anxiety is bad or when I feel like I might be having withdrawl symptoms.....I know...I know how do I still have withdrawl symptoms when I've been clean for 2 months....you tell me...I don't understand it either....but recently I was given a drug test and it tested positive for oxycodone!!!!! I was floored because I know I have not taking anything but suboxone and very little of it at that....so unless they gave me someone elses results than it does show up for oxycodone.

There is a LOT of wrong information here! Hopefully I can set most of it right!

While suboxone does contain buprenorphine, which IS an opiate, it does not show up on standard 5 or 10 panel drug test as an opiate because the opiate panel on a drug test is only testing for morphine metabolites, which means it tests for morphine, heroin, and codeine use.

That said, buprenorphine can be tested for under its own panel (usually abbreviated BUP) but I've never seen a 5 or 10 panel test that included BUP as one of the panels. It usually needs to be added as a seperate test, however some 12+ panel tests DO include a buprenorphine.

Oxycodone, hydrocodone, oxymorphone, hydromorphone also will NOT show up under the standard opiate panel, but many drug tests include specific panels for these drugs so they are in fact tested for, just not under the standard opiate panel.

Methadone is another opiate that needs a special test, but is becoming more and more commonly tested for.

Buprenorphine is becoming more common to be tested for, but its still relatively rare. The only organization I've heard of that includes buprenorphine in its standard tests is probation officers.

So, will you test positive for buprenorphine? It depends on the test and when you last took it! If the test doesnt include a BUP panel, then you will be fine. If it does, you will need at least a few days of absiinence for it to clear your system, if you are using 8mg or more daily I would expect you to need at least a week of abstinence to test positive.

In rare cases, suboxone can give a false positive for oxycodone. This is because the naloxone in suboxone is metabolized into the same metabolite that is tested for in the oxycodone panel! The amount of naloxone in suboxone is small and not well absorbed, which is why false positives for oxycodone are rare. Explaining this result will require you to admit to suboxone use as even the confirmation test will come back positive since the metabolite is the same. You can try saying you used your friend's emergency narcan syringe (sometimes, naloxone is given to family and friends of addicts to counteract an overdose) but proving that may also be difficult, and you will likely need to provide them with studies showing that naloxone is metabolized into the same metabolite as OXY because its not a well known fact.

It does not show up as an opiate because the opiate panel on a drug test is testing for morphine metabolites which come from morphine, codeine, and heroin.

Other opiates need specialized panels.

I've been on suboxone for only a month now & have not taken any Percocet or Vicodin since getting on the suboxone, I've passed every urine screen at my suboxone Drs office, however, went to see my drug counselor today & she pulled a random on me in which I was confident of passing as I've really not taken anything but the meds prescribed (suboxone, celexa, amtryptalene), the test she gave me tests for everything, of course it showed suboxone in my system, but also showed oxy's in my system? How is this possible? I'm beating myself up for an answer considering I haven't taken oxy's in well over a month! Please, someone tell me how this is humanly possible?

Mine did too! I've always passed drug screens at my suboxone Drs office, today I took my first drug screen for my counselor & it showed up as opiates & suboxone, but I haven't been on any opiates, how is it possible I failed for them?
