Hair Follicle Drug Test And Oxycodone (Top voted 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!

A hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. That small of an amount won't show up on a hair drug test.

The reason oxy didn't show up in a Hair 5 Drug Panel test is that it is not tested for in that panel. In order for it to show up on a hair test you would need to take a test with the Extended Opiates which are the pain killers like oxy.

In a normal Hair 5 Drug Panel test the opiates tested for are codeine, morphine and heroin. If those were the only opiates tested for then percocet won't show up. If the (extended) opiates tested for included, hydrocodone, hydromorphone and Oxycontin then oxy would show up. The one page report, I provide with each test, actually lists ALL the drug that were tested for. If the people who administered the test don't know this they need to get educated and quickly. Or maybe there not qualified to administer the test. I've worked in the hair test biz for 16 years.

My hair test came back with a level of 2081. I had a prescription for 15- 5mg . Is this around where my levels should be with that use?

Even a doctor can not give a definitive answer to that question. You didn't say how often you were taking it and if it was oxy only or combined with something else.

I quit oxycodone on July 1. I took a hair follicle test on Sept 10 and result was 895 pg/mg. Do you think if I wait until the 90 days, Oct 1, levels should be below 200 cut off?

Buprenorphine isn't usually tested for in a Hair 5 Drug Panel hair drug test and it is usually not in the Extended Opiate hair drug test either so my best guess is that it won't show up. Even if they tested for it I think that you didn't take enough to show up in a hair test. FYI - Testing includes the NIDA 5 drugs of Marijuana, Cocaine, Opiates (codeine, morphine, heroin), Amphetamines, Phencyclidine (PCP). If any components of Methamphetamine, MDA or Ecstasy (MDMA) are found in the preliminary test a confirming test will be conducted.

OK, the 2081 level makes sense after see how many you took. It would not matter if you took them all at once or spread them out. Once the lab gets the hair they take part of the 1.5 inch sample (assuming it was a 90 day history) and pulverize it into a powder then start testing so in effect the 2081 is an average over the 90 days.

No, stay clean until your test. However I just recently passed a five panel. I'm prescribed roxicet. It did not show. I had a joint about 58 days before and it didn't show. Honestly the rest is designed for ongoing daily abuse of drugs.

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. A 5 panel most likely will not test for Oxycodone. The test would have to include the extended or expanded opiates for oxycodone to be tested for. I doubt if the little bit that you took will show up in a hair test.

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.

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?

Ineedmyjob, A hair drug test is meant to show consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample, cut at the scalp line, will go back 90 days. It sounds like you didn't do enough of any drug to show up on a Hair 5 Drug Panel with Extended Opiates hair drug test.

It doesn't sound like you did much of either and most employers don't test for either drug so that is on your side.

Yes, a hair drug test is meant to pick up consistent use over time. A 1.5 inch sample taken from the head will go back 90 days. Still I think you should be OK even with the tramadol use.

FalseNegativeScrewed, there are companies who can just test for the extended opiates and it would be much less than the amount you quoted. The cutoff would be 200 pg/mg which is a fairly low value.
