Took A Drug Test At My Doctors For Suboxone And It Showed Negative - Please Help (Page 2)

Updated

I had a drug test with my suboxone doctor the other day and he called and kicked me off the program because the suboxone did not show up on my drug test, but i have been taking suboxone for 3 years and cannot go without it and i took suboxone the morning of the drug test. How is it possible it would not show up?

I have had a similar experience and the lab wouldn't give me my own results, even though they were testing my piss. I got really mad and the only suggestion I have is to be smarter than them and look up state law on if they are able to keep your results away from you. I have learned through the years that the only thing people fear is the law. If you can't find anything online contact a law advocate group and find someone to help you. Also, think along the lines of the American Medical Association as a last resort. Doctors tend to back doctors, crooked or not, but be diligent and you'll at least be able to find out if this is legal. Make sure you document everyone you talk to, the dates and who they work for. Good luck!

Your first sub appt u want to be positive and can be for several things including benzos. This shows u have a problem and need the program. U only want to be positive for your script after that first appt. Be careful. They will keep your money and kick you out which is bulls***. Any place offering help but charging up to $250 a month cash only I believe is wrong these ppl care about money money money. Not whether u get better or not. Damn I wonder why ppl are still out there addicted and dying.. Cuz of you f***ing so called drs you should be ashamed of yourselves. I bet you would think different if it were your own child addicted or dead. You make me sick!!!!

It just happened to me today and my doctor was a commplete b-hole and cut me back on my suboxone. I have never missed a day of taking my meds. Also I am perscribed lamactil, prosozan and vistoril which I know shows up in my urine screens because my last doctor knew this. This new doctor I have only been to 2 times keeps telling asking me that pcp is showing up in my urine. Uhh I dont do PCP!! I think that is some kind of wierd drug I dont know. The first time he said " so you are doing drugs? why is pcp in your system?" This is like a nightmare. I have been taking these medicines for a year now and now this. And was he rude!? I had my kids in there whilw he was asking me why I was lying!!!! I am so upset right now and wish I could prove this.

This happened to me 4 times over a 2 year period, which was impossible in my eyes. The only thing I could think of is I drink a ton of coffee and maybe it flushed it out. I had my doctor call the lab because the lab test your creatine level, or how well you kidneys are working. Every time I failed my level was between 2-4 and it should be around 200-300. The lab did say it was possible to flush the suboxone out, which wouldn't make it show up on the drug test, luckily I had a good relationship with my doctor and he never suspected my of trying to flush other drugs out of my system, but that's how they tell if you drink to much water

You should be ok. I took 1mg xanax on Saturday and had my test Thursday and I was good. But do not push it. I thought I could keep getting away with it but I did it again but I took the zanax on Sunday and I failed. But I was honest with my doctor and he kept me in the program. I don't know how many strikes you get there but it just isn't worth getting kicked out for.

I'm trying to find a suboxone dr for my fiancé. He was off opiates for years and kicked the habit with suboxone. Although he had a legitimate back injury the suboxone was manageable where opiates were not. Anyway, he's had a lot more work stress and pain the last few weeks and has taken opiates twice. He also consumed marijuana a couple of times but can't do that consistently bc of his job. If I'm able to locate a suboxone dr will they still prescribe for him if he tests positive for thc his first time?

I just had the same thing happen today at my suboxone doctor although I HAVE to take it or I will become very ill with withdrawal symptoms. I read some posts that suggest maybe heavy sweating or a high metabolism may be to blame. Not sure if I even would believe that if I were the doctor. And now they are saying that I faked the test with like some fake urine or something. This office has changed companies that do their drug screens for them numerous times. They are thinking about dropping me now so I am pissed, confused, angry and confused again WTF!?

If your doctor takes urine from you and your testing for cancer will they test you for opiods while doing so and if you've been been taking suboxone will it show up in your blood work or urine testing?

I've taken suboxone films 8mg two daily for the past 6 years. I only take my medication. No in-between opiate use, etc. I get oral swabs at dr. and my results have shown an abnormal result negative for suboxone. There is ABSOLUTELY NO POSSIBILITY I DON'T HAVE SUBOXONE in my system. 6 years daily. I may take only one at times instead of two but still take it daily. Does anyone know why I am getting this negative result? I have tried to get a script for blood work but was told I had to see the main doctor at another office for that. I asked for urine and they said the same thing. Help please, I want to be able to PROVE THE SWAB TEST IS UNRELIABLE AND INCORRECT. I think my dr.'s office doesn't care or believe me when I tell them there is no way I have none in my system.

I've been on Suboxone for a month now and every single urine test has came up negative and now my dr thinks I'm not taking it. I was on Methadone for 7-8yrs, there is no way I could just stop and not take the suboxone so i don't know what to do to prove to my dr that i take it.

I was on methadone for over 7 years for pain management and I decided to take myself off of it. I've never done a street drug, I don't smoke cigarettes and I don't drink alcohol. So my doctor tends to listen to me more than a recovering addict which is sad but true. From day one the suboxone has came up negative in my system even though they saw me take 8mg the very 1st time which btw was waaay too much. I now cut it in half and take 4mg every 12-20hrs. I've NEVER had a positive reading with the Suboxone so finally I asked the doctor if can I come in and take it in front of you or a nurse so that you see that I am taking it and then you can see it comes up negative still. So they let me do that. I received an email saying it came back neg and that my body must metabolize it differently. So I think that you should tell your doctor "let me take it in front of you and show you that I'm taking it" then you can prove that it's not showing up in your system.

If they sent the "diluted sample off to a lab, will that fix the issue? So crazy it wouldn't show but I drink like 36 oz of fluid which contains vitamins, caffeine, taurine, etc... It's the only thing I can think of. I'm waiting for lab results which I'm sure are pricey and it's not fair. I'm more than compliant.

Suboxone has a half life too so 3years being on it then it should definitely show but then again I've heard of this situation happening with people who have fast metabolism

Mine has never shown up not one single time. So I asked my doctor if I could come in take the suboxin in front of him then come back the next day and do what urine test. He agreed to that and was shocked to see that it's still was negative. He said my body metabolizes a different. I drink a lot of caffeine and I have a slow metabolism.

I've taken two 8mg subutex a day for about a year. I have never had a dirty drug screen since i started the program, and my levels have never been mentioned. Then i was at the doctor last week and a nurse said my levels had dropped a lot. From 800mg to 167mg. But i am taking the exact same amount. She implied i had not been taking my meds and just took one the day before and selling the rest. It really pissed me off. Never had a failed test. High levels every month. And all of a sudden i stopped taking them and decided to be scarface and sell drugs. I found this thread looking for answers on how this happened.
