Hair Follicle Drug Test And Oxycodone
(Newest replies first)
Updated
I am prescribed oxycodone 10mg taken 4 times daily. I take them as directed. I recently took a 5 panel hair follicle test and it came back negative on everything. Does anyone know a reason that this would not show up on a hair test? I did not have my hair colored or bleached in over two years and I did not take anything to try to alter the results. Thanks!
Re: TheHairTestingGuy (# 304)
I recently took 60 mg of oxycodone 3 days in a row. (180 mg total) I will have a 9 panel hair test in 45 days. If I completely stop using until then do you think I will pass the test? Those 3 days is all I have done. I appreciate any input!
Re: Nervs (# 303)
It's hard to say. That is the collectors decision.
Re: TheHairTestingGuy (# 302)
Thanks for all the input... really. My hair is 1/2” or so. And I keep my body trimmed as well for the woman. I think my head’s their best option for getting anything substantial.
Is that too short?
Re: Nervousness (# 301)
You might be OK. A hair test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch segment will go back 90 days. If you only took 200 mg once it won't show up. Sometimes it is not the best idea to cut the hair on your hair because if you don't have enough hair on the head they will use body hair. Body hair goes back even farther that 90 days, approx 6-12 months. But I think you should be OK if you only took that small amount.

It looks like it’ll be psychemed... I took 200 mg of OC between 4/18 and 4/26. Buzzed cut on 5/6. Chances look pretty slim, eh?
Re: Nervousness (# 299)
It's hard to say who is actually going to run the test. I doubt eScreen does their own hair testing. There are only a handful of hair testing labs in the US.
Re: TheHairTestingGuy (# 298)
It is through eScreen... with a Concentra Medical collection. How would I know? A bit too late to self test...
Re: Nervousness (# 297)
If the testing will be done by Psychemedics it will include the following opiates: heroin, codeine, morphine, oxycodone, oxymorphone, hydrocodone and hydromorphone. If the testing will be done by Omega Labs the 5 panel will only include heroin, codeine and morphine. My best guess is that the test you are going to take will include the extended opiates. You could do you own Anonymous Hair 5 with Extended Opiates to see where you are at.
Re: TheHairTestingGuy (# 277)
This is fairly late to the very informative party you held last year, but if I have a hair test coming up that states “Hair 501 5 class COPAT” (which I assume is an acronym for the 5 big drugs typically tested), does that seem to you that an extended opiate test is not being requested??
Re: Workinggirl (# 295)
If you can wait until January, and not take any oxycodone in the mean time, you would be better off. Usually an employer will only test a 1.5 inch segment (90 day history) so by January you should be test negative. You can always do your own Anonymous Extended Opiate test to see where you are at.
Major abdominal surgery in April, 7.5 oxycodone use 3-4 times a day until august 8th to get through a rough summer at a physically demanding job. Looking to test for a new job November 1st. What are the chances I will pass a hair test? Or should I wait until January?
Will 10mg of opana show up on a hair test? Will it show up as oxycodone? Please help hairtestguy!!
Re: Kaydaa (# 291)
Yes. With flying colors. Hairtestingguy is correct
Re: Tracy (# 290)
One time use won't show up on a hair drug test. The lab I partner with has a cutoff level for opiates of 200 pg/mg so if you did a hair drug test thru my company that 180 would mean the person was negative. Depending on how you feel about the person that was positive you could always give them the benefit of the doubt. As far as expert testimony goes you can find a Medical Review Officer (MRO) at aamro.com. I have no connection to aamro.com. A MRO is a doctor who goes thru years of training to interpret drug test results and give an opinion.
Re: Bexxx (# 288)
Did you pass??
I need hope.
My wife was just offered an amazing job and in the exact same boat.
I am in a court case regarding guardianship of a baby. We ordered the parties to have hair follicles. One part came back testing positive for Oxycodone along with Hydrocodone. They had no prescription for oxy but did have a prescription for hydrocodone. When questioned, they explained that they took one pill 2 months earlier. The cutoff level was at 100 and it was 180. Is that possible? Everything I have been taught is that 1 time usage will not show up in a hair follicle. If it’s not possible, who could I hire to provide a professional opinion stating such?
They took my chest hair on March 1st and my chest hair is about one inch in length but grows extremely fast...I probably buzzed it around the same time I took 8-10....10mg Oxys....will it show? How far does the body hair go back?
Re: TheHairTestingGuy (# 284)
I know you suggested that I not lose any sleep over it, but that is exactly what I am doing. Was up all night and probably have at least 4 more to go.
How confident are you that one oxy 1week ago won't show up.
Well just had my test done. Exactly 7 days since I took one 5mg Oxy.
The one thing I am nervous about is they took a hell of a lot of hair - much more than I thought they would - 3 fairly large pencil sized clumps. I'm picturing that they could find anything they wanted to with multiple tests with such a large sample.
I know that this may not show up due to the small amount, and the cut was done slightly above the scalp, so I'm hopeful that as an extra precaution it wasn't above the scalp yet.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Re: Help (# 285)
I don't know of many things that will "clean" any drug out of hair. For the most part those products work on the outside of the hair and the drug is in the cortex (center) of the hair. That's why hair testing is getting more popular every day.
