I Take 1 Mg Of Klonopin Per Day Why Does It Not Show Up In My Urine Test? (Page 2)

Updated

I take 1.0 mg of klonopin a day and as prescribed and it is not showing up in my urine test. The Doctor that prescribes my medication thinks that I am not taking it. Has anyone ever heard of this and if so what could be the reason for it not showing up in my urine test? The Doctor accused me of not taking my medication he prescribed. Yet offers no reason why it does not show in my urine.

I have been on klonipin for over ten years.Today I went to my dr and they drug tested me and it didn't show up in my urine.I told her I took 2 yesterday as prescribed but she doesn't believe me. She yelled at me like I was lying.I was not lying...I just onder why it didn't show up.Now she says if it happens again she isnt going to give them to me.I said should I take 1 right before i come here but she really didn't listen to me. I don't know what to do and why it's not showing up.I also take elavil and a few other meds but nothing showed up. I am so upset because she said she will stop my meds and I have been on klonipin for so long I heard it's not good to just stop it.But the main thing is i take it like I am suppose to so why isn't it showing up on a drug test??

Ok, I am a methadone patient and have currently been in treatment for five years. Now, I too have had the same questions that many others on this thread have had and this is what my counselor at my methadone clinic informed me of. Although klonipin is considered a benzo it is not technically a benzo in the traditional sense. For one, it is non-habit forming, so you are less likely to become addicted, which is definitely not the case with other benzos such as xanax. Clonazepam(klonipin) also takes longer to metabolize in your system but it's positive effects last longer in the body which is a huge plus. Now, though it is classified as a benzo it is a different TYPE of benzo, and doesn't show up in almost all urine tests. I have even had several mouth swab tests and it still does not show up. And the main reason for that is because they just don't test for this particular type of benzo. Xanax shows up no problem, but when using that same test, klonipin will not show up at all. I hope this answer was a little more informative and helpful to you.

MY NAME IS NANCI AND I HAVE BEEN ON KLONOPIN FOR 20 YEARS. I TAKE 0L11 MG 3 TIMES A DAY. I HADE A URINE TEST AT MY DR.'S OFICE AND DUE TO THE BENZO NOT SHOWINGH UP IN MY URINE HE IS NOW REFUSING TO WRITE ME A PRESCRIPTION. I ALSIO TOOKI A URINE AT THE4 LOCAL HOSPITAL ANDD IT AGAIN DID NOT SHOW UP. BEFORE I WENT TO THE4 HOSPITAL I TOOK 4 OF MY PILLS WENT THERE IN 2-1/2 HOURS ANDE IT STILL DID NOT SHOIW3 UP. MY REGULAR DR. EVEN IS IMPLYING THAT I AM SELLING MY DRUGS WHICH IS NOT SO OR I WOULDE BE HAVING WITHDRAWALS. TO ME HIS COMMENT WAS TOTALLY UNPROFESSIONAL. I HAVE 1 LEFT AND THEN THE WITHDRAWALS START. I AM A 1 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHO IS DISABLED AND I AM SCARED TO DEATH. WHAT DO I DO?

I'm so sorry that you and many others are going through this. I think you should take the medicine in front of your doctor and demand that he waitand then test you. But, I guarantee you though, it will still come up negative. I don't understand why some people in the medical field are informed and some are not, because Clonazepam is a different type of benzo and isn't specifically tested for. I understand your frustration, especially when you know you are telling the truth and you're being accused of something you're not doing. I hope these quacks do the proper research and realize that we are not lying. You are all in my thoughts. I hope you successfully overcome this unfair situation and may you swiftly get through this exhausting experience.

If your doctor is prescribing you clonazepam and does not understand why it is not showing up in your urine test, then he/she is incompetent and should go back to medical school. It astonishes me how many doctors prescribe meds that they don't even understand chemically or physiology what the drug actually does. That is just total incompetence on the part of the doctor. And then BLAMING THE PATIENT!!! Unbelievable!
It also reminds me of how doctors like to prescribe Seroquil as a sleeping pill when it's an incredibly potent anti psychotic! Tell these doctors of yours to go back and hit their college books. And please, everyone, don't think of your doctor as smarter than you because they have more years of schooling. Get a good phone app on medication which will break down the medication for you, and refer to it in the doctors office while he is talking to you about medications. Don't just blindly put your health in a doctor's hands.

I just had this happen yesterday. Now my doctor will not prescribe it for me...they said they trust the lab results, not the patient. How is it that they dont know about this happening. I HAVE NEVER FOUGHT WITH ANYBODY, SAYING MY "CLEAN" DRUG TEST SHOULD HAVE BEEN "DIRTY".

The EXACT THING HAPPENED DAY BEFORE YOU!!! The Dr. assured me that they don't test there, it's sent to a "state-of-the-art" lab, but, the test came back neg. 2x in row! I did find this thread, & the only one that I figure, was that klonopin was the ONLY one of the benzo family that required a type of special test. Otherwise, there wasn't another that came close to making sense. So,me & the Dr. are waiting on a "state-of-the-art" answer!
I'll keep y'all posted!

To Vincent Bonner... I don't agree with you that klonopin is not habit forming. It IS addictive & habit forming, I have first hand evidence after being busted & placed in jail for 2 weeks without it. I was also on methadone, which I was de-toxed down from. They show no mercy on you when this situation happens. Well?...

Well, I finally got an answer from my Dr. concerning klonipin problem...it seems that low levels of klonipin simply DO NOT SHOW ON ANY TYPE OF U/A TEST!!! Why?, I didn't get that far into it, but, the Dr. was totally satisfied with the answer he got, & cleared me of this ridicules situation! I take 1mg. a day of klonipin, along with other meds. I hope this may help anyone to get their Dr. to research the problem, so they will KNOW FOR SURE that we all are taking our meds. Good luck you guys...

I am a long term (20+ yr ) methadone patient. I take a 6 panel urine test every month and have never had a positive for klonopin. Every benzo positive I've ever given was due to my use of another benzo (eg. Xanax.) I have had more than a few people swear that I'm mistaken. I think the reason for this is that the metabolite of clonopin is different than the one that a standard benzo screen looks for. Drug tests don't look for the original drug but for the substance that your body turns it to. Anyway its not a shock that people think we're lying about having taken it since its a benzo it MUST show up, right? Its easier to assume you're lying than to do their homework.

I have found out (thru my dr.) that low levels of klonipin don't show up on just regular testing!! I'm in that situation (read my posts) In order to test positive, they need to crank it up a notch (or 2)... it took a couple months, & some investigating to get this right!!
But, it's the honest truth, & since then, I've never had that problem...your Dr. needs a more hi-tech tester. Good luck...
