Methadone 5 Panel Drug Test

I took 20mgs of methadone about once a week for the last month and I'm gonna get a job offer within the next 2 weeks to a month and it requires a 12 panel hair follicle drug test. Is 20mgs 5 times low enough for me to pass or do I have to do the toxin shampoo, vinager, dish soap, ect....? ## The hair stuff won't work for methadone. I'm sorry but you'll fail. ## Is 22 nanograms of methadone considered to be a high level in a hair follicle test? All I'm reading is "pg", but nothing measured in nanograms.

I just took a 5 panel drug test and I take methadone daily. IT DOES NOT SHOW UP. I PASSED THE DRUG TEST FLYING COLORS. SO DON'T BE SCARED. ## Was it a hair follicle test? I have to do the same 5 panel hair folicle test and I take methadone I'm terrified it will show up as an opiate or methadone itself ## I'll let you know I just took one and my results are tomorrow ## Well, the results came back on my 5 panel folical test. And methadone did not show up. Yes new job here i come. Hope this helps someone. I am taking 20 milligrams and have been for a year at the point that I took this test. (Daily) im in a Clinic. ## Ag, Congrats on the new job!!!!! No one should ever be disqualified for employment based solely on their courageous decision to enter treatment for substance abuse...

WILL METHADONE ROXANE THE RED LIQUID SHOW UP ON A DRUG TEST? ## It depends on the type of test being done, there are a few basic ones that don't look for it, but most of them do. Thus it would be wisest to assume that it's a broad panel test that will check for it. Have you already had the test?

I ran out of my methadone for my back and took small amount of dilaudid..will it show up on an 11 panel drug test as the same?? ## How long ago? if its more than a few days it will if you have a script for it you'll probably be ok, if not good luck

I took a 5 panel urine test and the doctor was making sure I was taking my meds! I take methadone for pain and I found out that methadone does not show up in a regular 5 panel urine test! But I also take ativan and I took my meds that morning before the test and the ativan didn't show up in the test as well as the methadone? ## yes methadone shows up in 5 panel test i take one every mnth and my methadone shows up

My son who is in recovery has been using Kratom. We performed a 12-panel urine drug test which came back positive for methadone but no opiates. He is not taking any other meds that I know of that would cause a false positive. I’m wondering if anyone has ever had a positive methadone result while using Kratom? ## Just last week my urine drug test showed meth. A false positive. Freaked me out cause I don't do drugs. I was told kratom doesn't show up but evidently it shows up as false positive. Never had that problem before and have been taking for a while now. Very weird. ## How are you 100% sure he hasn’t taken methadone? Kids aren’t honest with their parents. ## There is a parolee who is a client at local suboxone clinic. He has stated he uses kratom and gets c...

I would like to know if norcos and methadone both show up as barbiturates or opiates basically in the same category in a hair follicle test? ## They will show up as opiates. ## Methadone is in its own category on a 12 panel test. It will not show up as an opiate i have first hand experience. .i don't know about norcos though. .i think they will show up as an opiate..Neither will show up as a barbiturate. ## IMHO the doctors are making excuses/lies to drop their compliant patients, I have received this treatment also. I was a model pain patient. My guess is they are being scared to continue to prescribe methadone at the lectures they must attend in order to keep license in good standing. I was on methadone for 20+ years. I am also living with co-infection hiv/hcv. I just finished a m...

I am afraid that my test will show up positive for an opiate all I have in my system is methadone but I forgot to tell my probation officer will it show up positive for opiates or will the methadone I'm not show up ## Methadone and opiates come up as two different readings so if all u had is methadone that is all that will show ## Methadone will not show up on a 5 panel drug test. It does not read ss an opiate it is synthetic. ## It'll show but not as an opiate as methadone it different then just a regular opiate. ## Did u ever get an answer to your question because I'm kinda in the same boat... I mean if there is NO separate panel for methadone, which there isn't on a 5 panel, will it just test positive for opiate? Let me kno cuz I see you posted a couple yrs ago so may...

yes,but it will show up as opeates,downers ## when courts do drug test, does methadone show up? i've heard so many things. im from ky so what kind of panel and do every test show ,methadone. ## I made the mistake of telling my probation officer i have been on methadone for over 30 years.I passed the first test so he got out a ua cup specifically for methadone.He goes and tells the DC judge and she tells me i have to get off methadone.Ive worked for the last 15 years at the same job,pay my bills did all the crap the judge had me do like go to victim impact panel,drug and alcohol class,AA every night,community service,do an essay of the brain on drugs and when i stood before her she didnt care all the things ive done.She just want to let me know that ive taken advantage of the system ...

Why is metabolic methadone showing up in drug screen and I don't take ## Can you privide any other details? Do you mean you don't take it on a regular basis? Do you take any other drugs? What kind of test is it? Strip test, 10 panel, etc....It's better to provide more information. ## I'm going through the same situation & cannot find much help on the matter?? I get a urine test monthly from my Specialist doctor & this month the test showed positive for Methadone! I have never even taken Methadone in my entire life! This is really scaring me to think that something I've not put in my system is showing up & my doctor is questioning me as well. The only thing I've found online is that some people are saying that the OTC allergy medicine, Benadryl can cau...

If I've been taking 10 mg of Methadone 6 times a day, is it at all possible I could give a clean urine if I haven't taken any for 60 hours? ## They have to have a specific test for methadone. Most drug tests are 5 panel tests. If they are 10 panel they usually test for it. methadone takes like a week to get completely out of your system. Especially if you have been taking it for a long period of time. ## DaddioMD is correct, to be detected, they must specifically be testing for Methadone, by running a wider panel test, it will not show up on the regular opiate tests, like Morphine or Oxycodone would. While most narcotics do clear out of your system in as little as 24 to 48 hours, Methadone has a longer half-life and, as was already stated, it could take up to a week, because of ...

I took a pretty employment drug test for a CNA position and they said I failed. I am legally prescribed methadone so is it possible for the methadone to have results affecting other sections of the panel? ## Damn discriminatory bastards the medical field is the worst i think.

I go to the methadonr clinic every day and take 85 mg of it i at 4 somas and had a 15 panel drug screan and they srnt it to the lab will i fail my drug screan or will i be ok. ## I just did a urine drug screen, take SOMA (prescribed) and it did show up on the panel. ## No. I take them everyday. ## I was on a clinic for 8 years and never showed Soma, which I've been on for 10yrs. ## No, Soma does not show up. I have been testing for parole, and the methadone clinic for the last 10 years and it has never shown up. The only time Soma will ever show up is if the actually write Soma on the lab paper to be tested for and send it a lab specifically asking to test for SOMA. ## I wonder what kind of testing you all are getting- as I had a UA test yr before last, and not only did *Soma* show ...

I want to know if tramadol shows as an opiet in a hair follicle test. The company I'm working for does a thirteen panel drug screen. Is that a test that breaks down specified prescribeddrugs for what they are or one that just says there's opiets in your system?? ## From what I could gather, a 13 panel screening tests for: Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, Cocaine, Opiate 2000, Marijuana, Phencyclidine PCP, Methadone, Benzodiazepine, Barbiturate, Tricyclic Antidepressants, Propoxyphine, Oxycodone and Buprenorphine only. Since Tramadol hydrochloride is a centrally acting synthetic "opioid" analgesic, it will show up as an opiate in a hair follicle test. While there is always the chance of a false-positive, It is important to know that hair follicle tests can detect drugs from ...

I am going to a pain clinic in 16 days and want to know if I take about 70 mg of liquid methadone will it show up different than Percocets and morphine? I take 2 30 mg morphine and 3 7.5/325 Percocets for breakthrough pain. can I get help please. ## I know the answer to this one! Ive been on methadone for 8 years. Methadone requires a separate test/panel from other opiates to find it in urine. 10-15 years ago, i remember people getting drug tested for probation would scout out methadone bc of this fact. Nowadays many tests include a panel that tests for methadone (generally any test that has more than 8 panels). These days that includes a probation drug test and the ones at methadone clinics. The clinics like to make sure youre on something other than methadone before they start giving ...

I took 30 mgs of methadone on Sunday August 29th. I have a state probation drug test on Friday Sept 2nd, 2016. I haven't taken anymore since Sunday. Will methadone show up in the state probation drug test which I think is a 7 panel urine drug test? I'm not sure.

There are so many different answers/opinions on this topic. So i was hoping to get a simple yes or no answer. I am prescribed liquid methadone from a treatment center. I recently got a new job and im about to get hired in, but before that happens I have to go to the hospital for an initial drug test. I know it helps that I do have a prescription for the medicine I take and im not just taking drugs off the street, but with all that said, does it actually show up on a test? Should I be prepared and just get a slip from the doctor before going to take the drug test at the hospital? ## It might show up if the company/hospital requesting the test gets a detailed panel of drugs tested for. Some home urine drug test will also have it on a multi-panel configuration such as a 12 panel urine dip ...

I last took adderall xr 20 mg on sunday and I have a drug test on thursday. Will I pass it? ## You are very likely to, yes. I am prescribed Adderal and take it daily and have taken 3 drug screens without ever being asked to produce a script. I can't say that I know what that is other than that most screens are either an 8 panel or a 10 panel, and while a 10 panel will look for methadone when an 8 panel does not, neither seems to look for amphetamine salts (ad's). ## Adderall contains mixed amphetamine salts and it can be detectable in a standard urine screen for approximately 5 days, after last dosing. However, it will vary from person to person, depending on your metabolism, overall health, activity levels, fluid intake and etc. Learn more Adderall details here. Are there any o...
