Hydrocodone / Oxycodone Mouth Swab Result

Updated

Doctor gave me a mouth swab and it showed positive for hydrocodone but I'm not taking that med, I'm on percocet 10mg, why is it giving a false reading of hydrocodone?

I would like to know the same thing! I tested positive for hydrocodone and only take percocet and gabapentin. I have been removed from my pain clinic over this and dont know what to do because i actually do need my meds. Unlike many around here I do NOT sell my medication nor do i share my meds. I sometimes need more than i get but get by. Im scared that i will not be able to do the things i was able to do whem i had my meds. If anyone could explain i would be greatly appreciative. Sorry Nikki, i hope that you do not lose your medications.

Were the tests just looking for levels of opiates in the system? Percocet contains the opiate Oxycodone, but that is different from Hydrocodone. I'm not sure if the test which they gave you guys would be able to tell the 2 apart. If I'm not mistaken, coming out positive for one or both would be possible if you are taking one or the other. They should send sample to a lab which can tell them apart (i.e. different metabolites vs just an opiate). Did they mention anything about sending results to a lab? False positives are always possible and if you are taking your script as directed then that should be factored in!
