I took one 10mg IC zolpidem Tartrate tablet to sleep last night but need to take a drug test for court. Will it come back positive? If so, how long till it's completely out of my system? I hope I didn't mess up and won't take it again.

I take ambien for insomnia but am in treatment for it. I understand there is a new 7 day test they can do to see if you have it in your system, is this true? And what is ambien, a benzo or an opiate? I also take Zanax for anxiety, benzo or opiate? How long before these won't show up on a urine test? Thank you.

No ambien will not show up as anything... I was drug tested 2-3 times a week for 3 years and it never once tested positive.. Also ambien has a short life span in the body so within 8-10 hours it is out of ur system... I know this first off because of my experience as a nurse for 10 years.. Secondly cause I was in drug court

What type of test are they doing? Neither the Zolpidem in Ambien, nor the Ibuprofen in Advil are substances that are normally tested for on these urine tests.

In addition, they cannot deny you the use of a legally prescribed medication. You should just inform them of this, though they can ask for proof from your doctor, if they wish.

Ambien can cause side effects, that you should be aware of, such as: nausea, short-term memory loss, hallucinations and delusions.

Being in drug court and being on probation are two different things. Drug court gives addicts an opportunity to go to long term rehabilitation instead of going to jail. Rules of drug courts differ, for example some do not allow any prescription drugs, if your on prescription drugs you will not be accepted to drug court. They can certainly deny prescription drugs, and even some over the counter medications. Drug court is a priveledge for an addict to get help and they dont fool around. If you break the rules you go to jail. If they did catch you taking ambiem they will see it as drug seeking behavior and send you to jail. Its not worth it. In drug court they make the rules and if you dont follow them its off to jail a you go.

"In addition, they cannot deny you the use of a legally prescribed medication. You should just inform them of this, though they can ask for proof from your doctor, if they wish. "

Drug Court programs can and do. These are usually voluntary programs that are alternatives to incarceration and one of the first things you will do if you are both eligible and accepted into one, is sign a bunch of legal documents essentially terminating your legal rights to just about everything. You can quit when ever you want... but you will go to jail if you do.

I am on methadone i have a prescription and my probation officer told me to get off of it or she would make me go cold turkey. well I talked to my lawyer amd they cannot make you stop taking any prescription period. no mater what. They are not F***ing doctors ya know?? Also if they were to do it you could file a lawsuit... And you could also tell them that is discrimination against you if they give you a hard time man

hydromorphone (dilaudid) has a low oral bioavailability. that means that when taken orally, very little of the chemical makes it into your bloodstream. most people IV dilaudid in order to get the full bast of it, which gives you a rush more powerful than heroin. it's like riding a f*****g rocket to the moon. unless you want to become immediately addicted to the needle, I would NOT recommend doing it.

I didn't read every reply, but I read a majority of them and almost everyone is posting misinformation. Drug courts do differ according to location, but almost everyone of the courts will be testing for the same things. Some may be testing for spice and various synthetics and cannabinoids by now, but testing for those is still uncommon. Here is a list of compounds that are almost always undetectable using current methods:

Suboxone/subutex/buprenorphine, methadone, fentanyl, kratom, ambien, diphenhydramine (benadryl, sleepinal, etc.), LSD and related derivatives, psilocybin (psychedelic mushrooms) and related compounds (psilocin), DMT and derivatives, many research chemicals (NBOMe, 4-AcO-DMT, 5-MeO-MiPT and related compounds), baclofen, and ambien are almost always not detected.

Substances people may think will go undetected but WILL show positive for something: beta-ketones will show as positive for amphetamines/methamphetamine, DXM/ketamine/MXE will show as PCP, not sure about 2C compounds but they could trigger positive for something.

Don't press your luck with drug court. I am just posting this for educational purposes. Don't be a f***ing i****. Drug court is a system designed to help you get your life back under control. The staff may seem like jerks but they are working with you so that you can remain FREE from the U.S. prison system. Ask for help if you think you need it. This doesn't make you a weak person. Asking for help means you've began to accept you problem and realize your current ways of thinking and living are NOT working.

Ambien does show up on urine tests as an opiate. I was discharged from a drug treatment program today because of it...& I just had a major neck surgery w/ a prescription.

Zolpidem WILL NOT ever show up as an opiate. It may however show a false positive for benzos.

It normally take 40hrs lots of people will tell you to try supplement but actually they are being checked i have worked for the Probation Office in my state now for years doing the drug testing and I will tell you the only way is to be upfront give them all medication explain to them what you actually take then take all the medications in with you when you go to see your probation officer you can also get a list of your medications from your pharmacy

just as a reminder - i have posted before:

Not ALL Benzos are The Same.
They Vary Greatly in the time they take to leave the body..
ex: Ativan is gone F A S T!! Ativan is a fast-acting benzo thus it is out of your system and you are peeing clean in 9-17 hours. I know from experience, even 12mg at 7pm and my urine test is Clean at 11:30 am the next day. And my body usually 'hangs onto' meds/drugs longer than most people. I used to test dirty for heroin 6-8 days after using once!
That's just my body - we are all different - but like i said: Ativan is a Fast Acting Benzo.. and is usually 'not testable' in 9-17 hours.

Now as for Valium.. That is a Long-Acting Benzo...

That's false!!!! They are allowed to tell you to get off anything that you are on if your going into the drug court program. Trust me I'm in it and I had scripts for a few things that by law they made me get off of just to get into the program. You get the program cause you have to say your in drugs to avoid jail time so they make you do detox and you aren't allowed to take any opiates or benzos or anything that is used to alter your state of mind

You have a script for the Ambien right? Whether is shows up or not shouldn't matter then cuz you have a current script.
