I was admitted and went into withdrawls so they gave me ONE 5 mg methadone that disnt even touch my w/ds. 45 mins later I got a visit from a suboxone dr. I signed into his out-pat. sub program. I do not take methadone EVER yet on my 14th day of sub treatment I tested pos to methadone! I was like wtf? doc said no big deal, its still showing pos from the ONE 5 mg dose u took in hospital. so one 5mg methadone showed on my ua 14 days later. however I am not very active

No it will not show up. Took methadone yesterday had a 6 panel drug test today. I passed with nothing wrong. Only way you will fail if its a 10 or 12 panel. I also take state drug test they are only 6panels. Everyone that says you will fail is wrong. Methadone is a opioid not a opiate. Most drug test test you for opiates. Some people need to get there facts Right. Again if its a 10 or 12 panel drug test or blood you will fail. But if its up to a 6 panel you will be

This is absolutely, positively TRUE. A standard SAMSHA 5 panel test (what 99.999% of pre-employment uses) will NOT show methadone as a positive.

Methadone is a synthetic opioid, it is NOT processed or metabolized by the body the same as a natural opiate is, therefore the test won't show positive for it.

Any test six panel or less will NOT be positive for methadone. A TEN panel test has a methadone specific gradient in there, and that WILL show positive.

Metabolites for the methadone will stay in your urine/bloodstream approx 36-48 hrs from time you take it. Half life is very long for methadone, due to its chemical structure.

REST ASSURED IF YOURE TAKING A FIVE PANEL TEST YOU'RE CLEAR FOR METHADONE.

Pretty much anything else like codeine, morphine, OxyContin, hydrocodone, etc WILL SHOW POSITIVE within 48 hrs of taking, depending on activity, metabolism, etc because those are NATURAL OPIUM DERIVATIVES. Your body produces a metabolite the test is looking for.

SIX PANEL OR LESS--CLEAR
TEN PANEL OR MORE--CAUGHT

The methadone has a half life of 11 hours. You would be showing about 1/8 of 1 mg. after 72 hours. This is essentially a negative screen. I can only give specifics on this
I hope you don't need the same for Loritab and Zannies.

What the majority of people taking methadone do not realize is that methadone is a synthetic heroin.

Back in the late 70's methadone made it's appearance. It was made and given out to stop those addicted to heroin and using dirty needles.

Then some genius (sarcastic) determined it to be used as a pain killer because it is a pill that can be made very cheap. The AMA itself agreed this to be a cost effective medication and to be prescribed for chronic pain. Not telling people that methadone is synthetic heroin.

Took a methadone 6 days before a urine test, then had random testing two days in row. The first test came back negative but the second test came back positive. So how can I explain to the official that I am not lying (by the results it looks like I did the test after that same day I used this drug). They're both supposed to be positive or only the first test because I told them that I had taken it 6-7 days before any testing. How is this possible? Could they have mixed up dates? As somebody told me sometimes those labs do not even test for methadone because of cost and if they do not find anything next time they do a more detailed test? I am in Canada and this test is sent to the lab that supposed to be somewhere in Texas. If anybody knows about this lab please provide a phone number as I want to ask them directly. Thanks.
