Why would hydrocodone show up in my urine test if I have not taken any opiates?

I have been a chronic pain patient for many many years. I follow every rule and am truthful with my MD. I take Morphine Sulfate ER twice a day and Norco for breakthrough pain. A family member stole my entire supply of Norco. My Doc tested me after a 2 week period without any Norco. I was taking Morphine as usual. My test came up positive for Norco despite there being none available to me! How could this happen? I have had no Norco for weeks!

I can't take hydrocodone. I am on fioricet with codeine and never deviate with other drugs. After 17 yrs of drug panels I suddenly show POs for a hydrocodone metabolite! I have been taking ibuprofen post root canal and that's all that's changed. How did I test POs for hydrocodone? Risk of dismissal!

I lost my doctor for pain management because my UA was positive for hydrocodone after taking 50mg diphenhydramine. I was prescribed two 20 mg OxyContin slow release and four 10/325mg Percocet per day at Washington State's maximum allowed morphine equivalent dose of 120.

I took a half a hydrocodone two hours before I went to the doctor and did a drug urine screen, and it came out negative. This has me baffled as to why?

I was taken by my employer to a local emergency room for a drug test due to the employer stating that I seemed suspicious while on the job. I was asked for a urine sample and told I would receive a call once the results came back. I got a call stating I failed for Methopholine and Hydrocodone, but now my question is how could this be when at the time of testing the only medicine I had taken was Claritin and Oxycodone (prescribed to me monthly)? I had taken the medicine due to being sick and for a migraine (why I get pain medicine monthly as they are chronic). Could this be the reason I failed the drug test?

I tested dirty for hydrocodone and codeine. I received a shot of 1 mg dilaudid a month ago in the ER. I don't take opiates. Could this still be in my urine one month later?

I went to the doctor and he said my urine test came back with hydrocodone in it, but I haven't taken any hydrocodone. Please explain why this happened? I take tylenol #4, clonazepam 2mg, and buspirone hcl 15mg.

I went to the pain clinic on 8/28/17 and the dr there took a drug panel. I am taking oxycodone and oxycontin because I am in so much pain. The dr. told me that I had hydrocodone in my system, but I had not taken any other drugs, so please help me god. I have not taken hydrocodone. How could this have happened?

Today, I came back positive for hydrocodone and I've not ever take it ever. I can not take the IB you are do to blood thinners I am on but i do take percosets for pain I have been in for years for many injuries, and I am dying slowly. I have not ever taken a street drug either in my life nor do I drink. I don't understand after taking the same meds for 28 years and drug tested every few months for those 28 years I now come up positive for what I have not ever once taken. I dont get it. Now my doctor is saying I lied and I haven't. What the heck is going on my job depends on this test. Im wondering if testing has changed some how, I dont know.

Actually, the correct wording is Norco contains hydrocodone and Tylenol.

I take oxycodone and oxycontin for chronic pain. Ocassionally take ibuprofen and Tylenol but never hydrocodone. For the 2nd time I showed as having hydrocodone in my urine test. I can't afford to loose my doctor. Why could this be happening? Please help.

yes, you may request for a retest with the same urine. the lab holds onto it for 30 days. i just did this this morning. do you have a copy of the lab results with the number for the lab? you will need to get your dr.s permission for this.

Humans did not evolve eating grains and animal milks. Both gluten in grains, especially wheat, and Cassein in milk cannot be completely broken down. They are l.therefore partially break down as opioids. I heard a radio discussion on the same subject with a couple experiencing the same test results. Poppyseed bread was being squarely blamed. All Seeds are the basis of life and are extremely. healthy. Broken down into opioids, bread and milk were much more likely to have been causal. It is my opinion that given the very large amounts of grains consumed today, i.e., Burger buns, hotdog bread, pizza, wraps etc., it is little wonder that so many young people transition so readily to opioid drug (both legal and illegal) addictions.....

Reading thru this post, there are several people failing for hydrocodone that they didn't take. Obviously, either there is a small amount in the Percocet or the newer tests being used are giving false positives. I had a false positive occur last July. They didn't care that I was telling the truth. They have all become hardened in their opinion and do NOT sincerely care about their patients. Sorry this happened to you.

My dr gave me a U/A and I failed because it showed hydrocodone. I'm prescribed tramadol & Percocet; those I passed the test for, but the dr is not going to see me anymore because he says I violated the law. I only take my prescription and nothing else. Why would hydrocodone show on my U/A? I'm so scared now that I've lost my dr and prescription. How can I prove to him that I didn't take anything else except my prescription? I've heard of false readings due to the tramadol being coated with synthetic opiates. Can I demand a retest? If it comes out correctly can he keep me as a patient? I'm so scared of the pain and the withdrawals. Please answer. Thank you.
