Took A Drug Test At My Doctors For Suboxone And It Showed Negative - Please Help (Top voted first)

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 went to my sub doctor today and they said it came back negative for subs which I know for 200% that is not possible, when I asked to see my test they would not show me! They kicked me out and kept my $250! Are they aloud to not show me the actual test when I ask to see it?

Make sure you are drinking very little caffeine, not smoking too many cigarettes, and most of all, make sure you are not sweating too much throughout the day. All of these things can be attributed to showing a negative result for Suboxone and/or Methadone. I have been going to a Methadone/Suboxone clinic for a year now and have met numerous people with the same issue. Here, they don't kick you out, they just take away your take-home privileges away...which sucks too, but not nearly as much as getting kicked out would. I was on 110mg of Methadone and still wasn't stable, so I did a "Peak & Trough" Test which shows your medication levels throughout the day. I would suggest those of you who are testing negative for medications that you know you are taking to inquire about a Peak & Trough. Here in Indiana it cost $10 and was well worth it as it allowed me the opportunity to go up an additional 20mg. Good luck! I'd be so upset to deal with that problem!!!

I took 4mg of klonopin on Tuesday and 2mg of klonopin on Wednesday. This is the first time I have taken them in months, I do not regularly take them. Do you think they will show up on a drug test on this coming Tuesday?

I've had the same problem recently . Been on sub for over two years and never had an issue til recently. I always take everything as prescribed. I go every two weeks and have now had FIVE,yes FIVE, drug tests that have not had sub in it. I had three ttests in a row with none and then passed one, then two more none. My doctor is going to kick me off the program next visit if I don't have sub in my system. I'm freaking out bc I can't explain it. It's mind blowing to me. He did a blood test to check my kidneys and liver to make sure that isn't effecting anything. He said He's trying to give me as many "CHANCES" as he can...But I'm not doing anything wrong. I know these doctors hear all kinds of BS every day but I'm not lying. I don't know what to do

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

I would pop it out of the package (or bottle) if you are one of the lucky f**kers that still get tablets and take it right in front of him and say ok now I will come back tomorrow and you can run the test again. That is what I would do that way he/she says to him/herself (damn self I saw him take it the day before so I guess my machine or testing equipment or lab that I am sending it to is fuc*ed up and is sending false positives back) I don't know about you but that would be the way that I would handle that situation.

it kicks in pretty quick it had been about 8 hours after i took when i had the drug test. i just ate a bunch of fried food before the drug test though. My doctor is refusing to ever see me again he thinks i was not taking the suboxone which is so untrue i cant go a day without it. I had the same thing happen a few years back i got a random drug test at work and smoked marajuana the night before and passed the test. I dont knw what is going on

You should of asked for another test cauze some times their r bad ones and will show a false pos or neg. but it should show up I tested positive for 2 weeks after I stopped taking it. And worst case just go to a new sub doc.

I texted negative for suboxone and I have been taking it for almost 3 weeks now. Since I have started this medication my life has improved 100%. I feel like I have my old self back, my children have their mother back, my parents have their daughter back and my husband has his wife back. I can not afford to lose this medication. Does anyone know what can cause a false negative for suboxone in a urine drug screen?

Exactly what SWIM has been saying and no one listens.
The Sub screeners will show if:
- a person taking Sub or
- if a person is only taking it periodically aka how your body metabolizes it.

NO!!! they cant be witheld completely! request your records and test results in writing. drugAll Tests are fallible and often are wrong. aim to not receive your letter.Request certified letter so nthey have to sign for it if tghey clin writing No your own records are yoursk for both patient copy and a c drs copy which is written up differently. Say you want to bring in person the Dr copy to your new(though nonexistsant) Dr. they might charge u to b a jerk,

Yes. They are a benzo and they stay in your system for up to 14 days even if you don't take them regularly. Maybe even longer depending on your body type and metabolism. People who are heavy set can test positive for it was past the 14 day mark as benzos are stored in your fat cells a lot like marijuana.

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!
