Tested Positive For Percocet But Only Take Oxycontin And Oxycodone (Top voted first)

Updated

My husband takes OxyContin, oxycodone and neurontin for pain. He also takes clonazepam. He had a mouth swab done recently and it came back positive for OxyContin, percocet mb, & oxymorphone. Then it comes down and says unexpected results: negative: Opana, pt oxycodone. What does this mean and where did percocet come from? Really confused. He hasn't take Percocet in over 15 months since his accident. Anyone know? The dr didn't say anything about it, but im definitely curious to why its on there and why it says negative for oxycodone when he takes it 4xs daily.

Perkocet is made of oxycodone and a pap which is acidmiphen, my spelling sucks but it's like a oxycodone and asprin that's why ur dr. Didn't say anything

I've read a lot of these threads out of curiosity myself but what I have found is that the labs can make the wrong determination sometimes, sometimes you get maybe a bad chem. strip or the urine broke down or something happened and the test went wrong. I'm actually quite surprised how often that happens. Second of all percocet and oxycodone are the same things but a percocet has tylenol and special binders that binds the entire pills together basically like you would call water a binder its holds bread flour together. from what I've learned it sounds like if you're just urine tested at your doctor's office and they only do the basic tests nothing over like seven or eight panels they should be able to detect oxycodone and percocet the same but hydrocodone will show up different from oxy. Most forms for a medications urine test it asks you every single one of those medications I have a list 20 drugs deep of where I need to check off what I've taken. I only have to check off 3 boxes cuz I take oxycodone and oxycontin and valium and thats it but the list is like 20 items to answer to. The only problem I see with it is if your levels are off or they send it to the lab automatically if your levels are off they'll do it anyway but my doctor I believe send all of them off which means they can see the binders and tell the difference between the fact that you took an oxycodone vs percocet. Or perc vs oxycodone . And as far as those who are chronic pain and need higher doses just talk to your doctors honesty is usually the best policy. If you know your dose is not enough to get you through the month call them and make a Sooner appointment as soon as you can to discuss changing dosage because they will do that if you're not managed some times. I'm now on 25% of what I used to take I need to have an increase again while waiting for my ketamine infusions to hopefully start up again. I knew I should have called for an appointment a few days sooner but instead I didn't tried to write it out and ended up in the emergency room with money I don't have to spare. So just try to be honest with your doctor about what works what doesn't work don't say that you took a bunch of percs etc. even if you did just say I know my pain is too high and we need to manage this. Then if you had found a couple of pills off of a friend like some people do when they're paying its really high at the end of the month just have them clear from your system and try to go in there as normal dosage is possible. I think that our number one problem as patients is staying honest with our Dr We don't have to be dishonest to get the pain management that we need I know some of us feel that way but I'm fortunate enough to have a doctor that I know if I just talk to her and tell her the truth about what's going on she takes care of me.

I wish I could help. I am on Norco(hydrocodone), took 2 at 4am, one at 12:30pm, took ameritox screen at 1:30pm and the metabolites test(not the quick urine dip test in the jar-it should hydrocodone and my anti-depressants, that's it, all the other drugs including oxycodone was negative(1line)) and now they called and told me that the further metabolite testing done at lab showed no Norco(hydrocodone) but did show oxycodone and tramadol. I haven't take oxycodone in 3 months at least and am not even sure if I have ever had tramadol but know I haven't taken it in years. I think someone had to have messed up the sample somewhere because how could the highish amounts of hydrocodone I took the day before not show and drugs I haven't show. I am annoyed and worried even though I didn't take anything I wasn't supposed to because they are all now we won't prescribe more pain meds-I see doctor in a couple weeks and guess I'll chat with him then.

The dr won't say anything, because oxycodone is the main ingredient in percocet, along with acetaminophen, so they are basically the same thing. Its all in the way the lab labels the drug. He is all good

Would someone please tell me if anyone knows why my klonopin will not show in my urine drug screen. I'm on methadone program and took my take home medicine away from me.I am in a wheelchair and have to get my 65 year old mother out everyday to load and unload my wheelchair for me.seems so unfair to have her doing that because they are too dumb to figure this out.I thought possibly it could be the invokana I had taken.. please somebody help me please. For my mom especially.

Oh dang that sucks!! That's kinda what his is doing. He hasn't taken percocet in over a year. I would ask for a retest! His dr hasnt said anything, I'm not even sure it matters- maybe oxy all shows up the same? Who knows. I wish you the best of luck! It definitely sucks when you're made out to be guilty of something you know for sure you haven't done!

Heavan you are misinforming people yes they are all opiates however all oxycodone has a separate test versus hydrocodone and morphine. Taking oxycodone will NOT show positive on opiates on a standard 5 panel tthat's why there is a 7 panel which lists oxycodone separately

First off everyone on this thread needs to know that oxycoden an peecocet is the same, no different so the drug test will test positive. For opiats period...the names are jus different an thus makes the prices different....hydrocodien will also test positive they are all the same on drug test....all are opiates...oxycodein is generic for percocet....is all the same jus different strengths...
