Hair Follicle Drug Test And Oxycodone (Page 14)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I am prescribed oxycodone 10mg taken 4 times daily. I take them as directed. I recently took a 5 panel hair follicle test and it came back negative on everything. Does anyone know a reason that this would not show up on a hair test? I did not have my hair colored or bleached in over two years and I did not take anything to try to alter the results. Thanks!

I will be taking a hair follicle test with extended opiates in a week. I took 2-3 Ultram 50mg about a month ago. Will that be enough to show up on the test?

I only took those 2 pills but I regret it cause I work in the refineries and I don't know if those 2 pills will affect me getting into the new company I'm going to work for... in your experience with the amount of pills I took.. what is the possibility that I will pass the hair follicle test

Jose- When it comes to body hair it doesn't matter how long the hair is, the time frame is still about 1 year. And, yes, people can get themselves in trouble by thinking body hair is the best way to go. It usually is not.
=======
Codeine- the reason you see those types of answers is because each person is different so you CANNOT give an exact answers. Also a lot depends on how strong the drugs are, how often is was used and how the body processes the metabolites of the drugs in question. Also people aren't always truthful about what they take. And by the way I do hair drug testing for a living.
==========
Also keep in mind, you cannot compare urine drug testing and hair drug testing. They are two completely different methods of testing. You can't compare a Ferrari to a Volkswagon can you?

Jose,

It's much easier to predict with a better degree of scientific certainty when utilizing a testing protocol such as a urinalysis ( regardless of panel type ).

Codeine,

As you can clearly decipher all competent responses will qualify said replies with " It PROBABLY won't " or "I DON'T THINK SO" That's because these tests are subjective and no pseudo internet expert can proffer an opinion that you should accept as EXACT and unimpeachable.

That's what I read about body hair. That year is dangerous if you did a lot of stuff in a year. But I used my hair off my forearm and the things I read which I took with a grain of salt said that it is less than half an inch it could only go back 30 days. But I'm not an expert. I did my forearm hair because my last employer 2 years ago took hair from there and if they took it from my chest or arm pits they might see all the college fun I had many years ago lol. I figured since that hair usually never falls out and regrows new hair very frequently. That it wouldn't show the oxycodone I took two monthls ago. I'm just theorizing.

Me- A hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch segment of hair, cut at the scalp line, will go back 90 days. You should pass a hair drug test.
================
Jose- In general I tell people it is better to use head hair for a hair drug test because body hair grows a lot slower and the time frame is a bout 1 year so if you did much in the 1 year time span it might be detected.
==============
Codeine-I don't think you did enough to be detectable by a hair drug test.

I would say no. I recently paid to take a hair test with extended opiates and it came back negative. I took one oxycodone 3 week prior to my test and 7 more the month before but I took them as needed for shoulder pain. So like on a week and if I was hurting bad from lifting heavy things at work I would take a second one in that same week. So January I took 7 oxy stretched out over time and my last one was the first week of February. Also to add to it, I'm bald on my head and they took the hair from my arm. Idk if that matters or helps pass.

I took one oxycodone and have a 10 panel hair follicle test coming up in a month or so. Will it show up?

Will, see the first two sentences of my post #25. You should pass.

rick james. The hair drug test won't show if you have taken a few more pills than is prescribed.

Unfortunately the principal property in Tylenol #3 is codeine and is a common drug of abuse so YES you will test positive for the opiate it is classified under.

Okay. Seems like there's better chances with my arm hair. Well I hope you're right that most employers don't test for it. Only thing that has me worried is that this old employer of mine used to do urine test and once I did pop hot for oxycodone that my ex wife gave me for pain. So I'm thinking if they did it for urine test they might look at hair test too. Idk it's been 2 years since I worked with them. I guess I can ask my doctor for a small script to cover my ass and hope the doc understands that I can't lose this great opportunity on my stupidity even tho it was just bad timing on my end with shoulder pain. Thank you for the help.

Each person is different so I just try to give a general idea what might happen. Since you are bald they can't take a sample from the head so the 90 day "rule" doesn't apply in your case. The thing about using body hair is that it gives a long time-frame, going back approximately 1 year. One thing you have on your side is that most employers only do the Hair 5 Drug Panel test which doesn't even test for oxycodone. As far as the 8 pills you took in a 6 week span, it's hard to say if you would be positive if they tested for oxycodone. I would say you have a 50/50 chance.

Okay, kinda repeating the same question but I would like a little more clarification. I have taken eight 7.5Mg of Oxycodone within the past 6 weeks. My mother gave them to me for horrible shoulder pain I was having. I haven't taken one in close to 2 weeks now and I finally got a steroid shot in my shoulder but a job opportunity came along that I wasn't expecting to get a call from. I have a feeling they will ask me to do a hair test sometime this week or next week. Since I took those 8 pills over a stretch out time period. Will it show low signs on my hair follicles and will I fail because it hasn't been 90 days. I'm confused because you said if it's just one time they will pass and other time you said they could fail by taking 4 pills at once a month or so back. I never take things like this but I was in pain and my mother was trying to help me because my doctor didn't give me anything until my MRI came back. Also, I am bald but have a decent amount hair on my forearms. I don't know if that makes a difference on the deposits into my hair there.

It's unlikely they will be able to tell, by the results of a hair or urine test, if you took too much.
