Fentanyl Patches Drug Screen
UpdatedCan anyone please tell me if the Fentanyl Patches show up in a Drug Screen as an opiate? Please Help me.
Yes, they most certainly will. They are a VERY, VERY strong opiate narcotic, so any screening done for opiates WILL come up positive if you are using these.
No they do not on a standard urine test, they are a different synthetic and are delivered in small micrograms. The only way for them to detect it is to send it to a lab that has a Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) which will then pick up the fentanyl (Duragesic) I hope this helps!!!
Thanks so much for this info!! I just had an awful situation today with a doctor accusing me of cheating on a drug test because no opiates showed up in my system. I still think something should've showed up, I don't know if i took any percoset at that point of the day, but I take them daily, along with the fentanyl. This doctor is so sure that I'm lying to her about everything, so she sent me for a drug screen which came back totally clean, so now she's upset about that. I'm going to a new dr. But I'm going to look into what you said more, about it not showing up on a regular drug screen, and send it to her. She had me in tears today. And there was no way, that I know of to cheat on the test.
THIS IS A RESPONSE TO DI. YES DOCTORS ARE UNDER GREAT PRESSURE BY THE DEA. THEY TEST PEOPLE AT RANDOM & DO NOT BE SURPRISED BECAUSE THERE IS A TEST THAT CAN BE BOUGHT AT THE STORE & IT DOES IDENTIFY THE DRUG OR DRUGS IN YOUR SYSTEM. ALOT OF PEOPLE MISUSE NARCOTICS & DOCTORS HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE ONLY PEOPLE GETTING THEM ARE THE ONES THAT TRULY TAKE AS TOLD, BECAUSE THIS IS SUCH A RISK FOR A DOCTOR, THEY ARE TRYING TO NARROW DOWN THE PEOPLE THAT NEED IT THE MOST. GOOD LUCK FINDING A GOOD DR, BUT BEAWARE THEY WILL ASK FOR YOUR RECORDS & THAT COULD PROVEN TO BE HARMFUL IF THE PATCH DID NOT SHOW UP DURING YOUR MONTHLY VISITS, IT STAYS IN YOUR SYSTEM FOR 16HRS AFTER YOU REMOVE. GOOD LUCK- WISH U WELL.
What I found out is fentanyl is in such a small dose that it doesn't show up in a normal lab urine drug screen, they have to do some kind of gas test that isn't normally done, unless they are looking specifically for fentanyl.
I'm on it legitmately. It pissed me off that she accused me of cheating because my urine came back clean and she knows I wear a patch all the time. So, I went to a new dr., because I'm not going to waste my time with someone who doesn't check her facts before accusing me of cheating.
I was on 60mg morphine er 3x a day then tried Opana er 40 mg 2 x a day and it was horible.Stupid me got a 75 mg fentanyl patch from a friend but only wore it for like 8 hrs cuz I started feeling sick.Is the fentanyl gonna show in a ua I had 9 days later?
as far as if it shows up is how many panel test is run, a standard dip stick test i won t believe so, but what a lot of people does not know is that the generic drug supply has been shanghai-ed, there are alot of generics that are totally ineffective an the FDA knows of it, a good link to view is http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/health/drugs/2003-05-14-fakedrug-cover_x.htm
If they do a simple test, it will NOT show up in your system. I used to go to a Methadone clinic and I was on 125mcg delivered through a patch. It NEVER showed up. Now if you abuse it and chew on it, suck the gel out etc., it will show up. It also will show up if they do a more complex test that mesures levels and all that. Hope this helps.
ekidrocks1964 is exactly correct.
they are a extremely strong Opiate.
Yes, but if you have your doctor certify that you are on Fentanyl, it will more than likely get you to pass the test. Good luck!
YES! It is a very powerful opioid! The best thing to do to pass a test is to get your physician to write a note that you are on Fentanyl and what it is being used for.
I've never failed a test yet, but now that I'm retired, I could care less.
BTW, I have a little habit that gives people a chuckle. When they say, "Hi" I answer, "nope, sober."
YES they most definitely do..
THEy don't show up on regular drug test for probation and shyt like that they don't show up im on drug court and that's the only thing I can take..somas also don't show up neither does kratoms....and fentanyly can be detecte thru urine up to 24 hours
Yes it does, I'm not sure what type of drug you need if its for a job, I recommend you get a letter from your doctor stating he prescribed this medication to you as well as any other opiates.
As long as you have it in writing from the doctor, it should be okay, depending on what your doing.
That has to do because of many people Dr. Shopping to get as much meds as they can. It is so Tuff in Florida to get more than a 30 day supply of any Drug today. Just look a PRINCE. He did what most do and these Doctors are now in Serious trouble, Thats why Pain Doctors make you do Random Urine tests from time to time to see what other drugs are in your system as they know what RX they gave you
They will absolutely show up under the opiate category. I'd say your safe if you haven't taken any for several days. Come up with a legit reason--say you were I'm an ER in a different state visiting relatives for example, and has a few shots of morphine and we're given some to take home. The systems are fragmented across atatekines, often. Make sure to use a pharmacy you don't otherwise use. Only follow this advice if you have no more, a legitimate condition, and are in dire straits. Otherwise you are a drug addict appropriating disability. Right now there are cancer patients having their patches taken because of street drug addicts being strung out on our meds. If you are abusing these miracle patches, I would suggest inpatient rehab immediately. No sound mind and healthy body should be on anything--not even Methadone or Subutex.
Does anyone know where there is a doctor that will still prescribe hydrocodone and Fentanyl around Cedar Park Austin Texas the pain doctor I'm going to now keeps changing my medicine every time I come in there I'm finally on medicine that's taking away 80% of my pain and they're changing it if anyone can recommend a doctor please let me know thanks
Like a Christmas tree for at least one month after initial use and if they check your hair. One strand of hair will show opiate use.

Wow before doctor shopping which will go down on your record do another test there are false positive and negatives all the time this could be one of those cases if your honest demand it!

Yes they do. I do my drug screening at my pain managements office every three months and it shows the level of opioid I’m taking. Don’t mess with taking other drugs not given by your physician if you are on fentanyl.
Re: di (# 3)
I have to think the lab made an error. Sounds like a good thing you are changing doctors. Even with all the pressure doctors are under you need to have a good relationship with your doc. Are you in a big city or area with a lot of addicts? I'm surprised your doc would accuse you of lying without repeating the test and surely the lab should know the right test for what is being looked for.
