Does Hydromorphone/dilaudid Metabolize Into Morphine And Show Up Only As Morphine In Urine Screen?

Updated

I went to my pain doctor today, and received a drug screen. I only take diluadid 2mg 2ce a day and took one about an hour and a half before I went to the doctor. When I went back into the room with the nurse practioner she said I failed my drug screen for Morphine and Codine. I've not taken anything but dilaudid and also neuroton that they prescribe me. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!?!? Does dilaudid metabolize into morphine in your system a little while after you take it? Also, they tested the levels and it was like 20,000 or something like that...she said I would had to have taken the Morphine right before I came since my level was so high. Obviously thats going to happen everytime and then I will be cut off from the doctor and I can't have that happen. What do I do???

You need a new doctor my friend. Dilaudid orally is hydromorphone...which is just a different chemical composition of morphine. Same exact class same exact result on good drug tests not the go urinate in a cup and they have their easy bake results in a minute. Think about it....it takes longer to get results from a pregnancy test than it does our tox screens at the Dr. My advice is get a Dr. That knows what he's doing. I take 4mg hydromorphone/dilaudid 4x a day because something in the chemical composition of morphine I'm immune to. Hope this helped.

Also keep in mind dilaudid is way more potent than morphine. In an hour and a half's time it would've still been active in your system for many hours to come. Your body may have dissolved pieces of the chemicals away leaving a similar composition to that of morphine. Like I said before. I'd ask your Dr. About false positives especially because of the likenesses of the two and go to the hospital and get your blood drawn. I did it once when I supposedly tested positive for cocaine. Turns out cocaine and lydacane have similar properties throwing off the "dummy" pee test

They are instantly in your blood but takes 3 to 5 days to leave your system.

Just depends if they send it to a lab a lab test on urine will be able to distinguish the two and the test on the cup for urine will just say positive for opiates hope this helps even if too late for ya lol at least now you know hehe

Hydromorphone is metabolized to Hydromorphone-3-glucuronide along with minor amounts of 6-hydroxy metabolites.
Morphine metabolizes into morphine-3-glucuronide and morphine-6-glucuronide.
They are totally different.

After you Injest Hydromorphone... your body turns it into morphine once it is inside of you. So if you are ONLY taking hydromorphone then YES a urinalysis will show positive for morphine and/or hydromorphone. It really just depends on the type of drug test. But to my knowledge it doesn't matter what type of drug screen... it will be like this for all.

This is from experience. I had a script for hydromorphone.. but I was out of it so had been taken morphine ( which I didn't have a script for) .. and then I had a drug test for work next day and only put down hydromorphone on paper under "prescriptions". The sample was sent to lab and the doctor called me asking for proof of my Rxs
. So i sent my hydromorphone script to her.
then the dr said and I quote
" do u have a script for morphine? "
I said "no... only hydromorphone."
Then she said "oh ok that's fine! Hydromorphone turns into morphine once its in your body so you are good to go, I am APPROVING your drug test as we speak have a good one!"
