If you were using a rapid screening urine test like you buy at the store, heroin would show up as morphine but depending on when they test you it might not show up (also depending on how much a "alittle bit of heroin" might be).

The little bit was maybe about .2 or around 3 very small pieces,snorted lines no bigger than a small match. It was white and don't think it was high grade at all because I didn't really even get high or whatever its supposed to do but it did seem to keep my pain away for awhile better than I expected. I know I make stupid spur of the moment decisions when I get upset, maybe the bipolar or just not caring at the time because I let my thoughts take control. They use a 10 panel I believe for non insurance and a different for the gas spec lab test ( SPELLED WRONG SORRY) and I chose the 10 panel,should I have chose the lab test? I know its hard to say for sure but just curious of your opinion and would morphine pills show up the same as heroin? Sorry if you don't understand,I'm just scared because I'm In legitimate pain and never used before,swore I never would but made a mistake and also was around bad influences knowing I should not put myself there and all I had to do was say no but im going through problems,no excuse I know but I'm human and have to deal with the consequences I guess thanks for info and feedback

Morphine can be detected in a urine test for several days after use. If it is a urine GC/MS test it can usually tell the difference between heroin and morphine. If it is a rapid screening test like you buy at the store, for the most part it is detecting morphine.

The amount that you did most likely is gone from the system now so you should test negative, provided you STOPPED taking heroin. Also that small amount most likely would not show up in a hair drug test. Locally where I live several people have died from heroin overdose because it was cut with fentynil (spelling).

Nothing illegal will show up on your drug screen. You will test positive for benzodiazepines and opiates. And you have prescription for Xanax so the benzodiazepine positive is excused. And you have a legitimate script for oxy so the positive opiate level is also excused. Heroin, Morphine, oxycodone, codeine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, methadone, Demerol and fentanyl are all opioids and will show up on a tox screen as positive for "Opiates". Nothing else. The specific drug will not be identified, just the fact that you took an opiate in general. Opium comes from the poppy plant, therefore you can also test positive for opiates just by eating a poppy seed muffin.

with the 10/12 panel utox that is performed in the office, heroin will show up as an opiate..if you are prescribed oxy's or any other codeine/morphine derivative, you will be fine. If the office sends the utox out to a lab for more in depth results, then the heroin will show up as heroin, morphine may be positive as well, the lab tests for metabolites, so the opiates are now broken down and each medication/drug will be revealed for what it is..probation does in house screening where I go and I hope the same for you. Good luck

OK this is my first time asking a question on here but I've read through a lot of posts in the past.. My question is: OK now I used to consume marijuana, the last time I did it was 2 weeks ago. I'm also weaning myself off of pain pills (shattered my knuckles and ever since I was prescribed them and then taken off of them it's been hard but I'm working on it). Now I had a drug screen (5 panel or a few more panels, didn't count when I looked) at the occupational health group for a new job, this was last week. Now I have prescription for hydrocodone from 4 months ago and one for oxycodone from 5 months ago. The night before the test I was worried there might still be marijuana left in my system so I drank a gallon of milk with a cap off bleach in it (and yes I know a lot of y'all will say "OMG drinking a cap of bleach will kill you" well guess what I did and I'm fine, didn't even hurt, I wouldn't recommend it but I can't change the past so be it)... I also had taken 2 10mg Oxys the night before the drug screen (about 4 hours before I fall the milk/bleach) and I took one 10mg hydro 2 hours before the test. (Now I'm not too concerned about the oxy or hydro because I still have my old script bottles).

OK when I took the test they tested it right there and I could see that the only thing I pissed positive for was opi/opiates (passed the the part with flying colors!). I told them I had my prescription bottles with me and they took the info down off of them, but they said that anytime anyone pisses positive for anything (even their own prescription) they have to send it for a lab test. My question is do y'all think the lab test will come back saying something about the Lil bit of bleach I drank? And if so, could I simply say I use bleach teeth whitening strips or something like I brush my teeth with bleach and hydrogen peroxide every now and then to help when them and I must have ingested some? Any of yalls answers will be greatly appreciated and will help me! (And please if you're one of those "you shouldn't have done drugs in the first place ppl" please don't respond, look I did them and that's that, I can't go back in time to fix that).

When things are consumed by the body they are broken down by one or more of the following: enzymes in gut, enzymes in blood, enzymes in liver, or filtered by kidneys. Most drugs are changed in some fashion leading to metabolites. This is what will cause you trouble if a more rigorous test is used. Marijuana has many metabolites that hang around in your system. Typically it takes aboutup to 3 weeks for the average body to clear all of the metabolites. Frequent or heavy users may have enzymes that are up-regulated (greater number or greater sensitivity) and may clear a small amount of THC more rapidly, if it was consumed after a period of not using.
Drug screens do not pickup every possible chemical in urine. It isn't that they can't but they are testing for specific compounds. Adulterants are things consumed or added to urine to alter results of the tests. Bleach ADDED TO urine (not consumed) can alter test results. However it makes pH of urine too high and invalidates the sample.
BTW teeth whitener does not contain bleach.

Lucy,
The idea is it tested + for morphine ( heroin before metabolized) Most places wouldn't take kindly to a positive finding for a heroin metabolite even if it was a tiny bit,Right? If that were me I rather have them believe I had taken a morphine type rx rather then heroin. But that's just me...

Ps : MdPhd : That very well explained Joey .

Kayleeshae, I take methadone for chronic pain, have for 7 years. But stupidly, I took some heroin the other night then was asked for a urine specimen the next day at my doc appt. for my monthly rx pickup appt. I was wondering if the heroin was showing up as heroin on the urine screen (obviously they sent it off to the lab Bc nothing was said to me during my appt.) or if it would show up as an opiate...? Can you please help Bc I'm scared s***less, it's all I can think about & I already have severe anxiety. Thank you so much in advance.

Re: Kayleeshae (# 4) Expand Referenced Message

I am in about the same boat has above. Except the panel my doc used showed negative for oxymorphone because I ran out and showed positive for vicaden. I thought the same all in opioid category, but that is not true. The urine test I took from my doc actually shows the difference between tramodol, vicaden, and oxymorphone. Embarrassing seen that just about almost made me have to find another doc.

Re: Kayleeshae (# 4) Expand Referenced Message

The lab tests show hydrocodone, morphine, oxycodone, hydromorphone, and a whole lot more. Don’t talk out your ass. Now depending on instant tests it might just show up as opiates or could show more.

So you're saying if I have a script for Oxycontin and I do heroin it will all show up as an opiate? I have to do a 5 panel urine test screen. So I should have no worries?
