Suboxone Drug Test

Updated

I am currently going to a pain clinic. I ran out of oxycodone and I have some suboxone from a previous doctor (I went to suboxone doctor about 9 months ago). I don't want to suffer withdrawals, so I took a suboxone. HOW LONG WILL THE SUBOXONE SHOW UP FOR IN A URINE SPECIMEN??? They will drug test me when I go back to my current pain clinic doctor and I don't want the suboxone to show up. I have an oxycodone pill that I can take right before I goto the pain clininc for my monthly visit. I am just worried that the suboxone will also show up in my urine!

You should be fine - The standard tests do not check for Suboxone because it is not a commonly 'abused' drug (it is not readily available like Vicodin, Oxycodone, Xanax and other drugs which are used recreationally). I could be wrong here, but that is what I have gathered. Yes, there are tests which can specifically check for Suboxone but chances are that's not what they're looking for (the cost can be pretty high for them to check for it anyways). Regardless, I'd say that if you only took a single dosage it should be out of your body within 72 hours... Hope this helps!

Isn't Ultram an opioid? If so, you're basically just "cancelling it out" w/ suboxone. Opioids don't work when you're using suboxone. Just make sure you don't take any type of muscle relaxer, sedative, or benzo (like Xanax or Clonazepam) with suboxone b/c the combined effects will make you comatose and it is really dangerous. Does your dr. know you're on both meds? B/c he/she can tell you if it's ok to combine them.

Btw, sometimes suboxone can show up as other drugs on a drug test - so be careful. If this happens, just ask to be re-tested b/c it shouldn't happen again. Also, I was drug tested (for a job requirement) and had taken a suboxone about 48-72 hours prior -- nothing showed up. Unless they're specifically testing for it, you should be just fine.

If they give U a "5-PANEL DRUG-TEST"(the most common & cheapest, U have nothing to worry about. those test for broad categories like, Opiates, Benzos, THC, Cocaine,& Methamphetamine. The important thing is even though SUBOXONE & even OXY's after a day or so sometimes don't even show. But BOTTOM line is ALL U WOULD TEST POS. 4 IS OPIATES. IT DOESN'T TELL THEM WHICH KIND. In the same way they couldn't tell whether for example a person had been taking say VALUM or XANAX.. they'd just Pop for Benzos. U R STRAIGHT!

I am a manager at an ambulance company and also a paramedic for the past 20 years. I have all of my employees take drug screens and when one comes up positive, the labs sends me reports that tell me what drugsshowup in each category. I see all the answers for all the questions and it amazes me that everyone gives a different answer. These people are trying to find out the true answer to a question and the get 50 different answers.

First of all, if you do street drugs or prescription drugs that you do not have a prescription for, you really need to stop. It's bad for you, illegal, and you could die from certain combinations. Most companies, for a non-driving position issue a 5 panel test. This tests for marijuana, amphetimine including meth, cocaine (crack), PCP, and opiates (codeine, heroin, and morphine only).

When you get into the 10 panel test, it tests for more specific drugs such as benzos (Valium, Xanax), barbiturates (phenobarbital, a drug for seizures but can be abused for its sedative value), methadone, and oxycodone. The candidate will show up positive if the are taking OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, and suboxone. Yes, suboxone shows up on a ten panel as oxycodone. It is a synthetic opioid.

If you a legitimately taking suboxone ask your doctor to write a note saying that he has prescribed a medication to you that has similar properties as those in the oxycodone group. It is none of your employer's business to know exactly what meds you are on as long as they are legally obtained. However, most employers use 5 panel test since it is faster and less expensive. With the population now being on so many prescription drugs, it is expensive sending off every positive test for prescription drugs for the GC/MS test with a review by the lab's doctor.
I use the 5 panel test because I am more concerned that my future employees are using illegal drugs.

So in case you missed it, suboxone shows up on a 10 panel test as oxycodone, which is illegal unless you have a script for it. It has a rather long half life (average 37 hours) so it will stay in your system for up to 2 weeks, depending on how much is built up in your system. Also, FYI, Valium has a very long half life. I was given a Valium in the hospital for muscle spasms and 30 days later I took a urine drug screen and it was still there. I was very happy that I still had the paperwork from the ER that showed the treatment that I had gotten.

this is so true I took a suboxin on thursday off then I have a drug test on monday my doctor prescribes me 30mg irs. after I took the test my god they came in after he got the results and asked me several times if I had taken any ER oxycontins this week. Listing the fact that he prescribes me 30mg , had me convinced that he is right. and not only does it show up as an oxycodone. It actually shows up differently then a 30mg IR and as exactly as a controlled release oxycontin. I never knew that the tests show 30mg IRs and oxycontin controlled release
as completely different results. Thank God my Dr. believed me.

I disagree.
I have taken about 32 to 48 mg of suboxone daily for 6 years. I've been tested monthly by different doctors with several different types of urine tests. The tests did not include bupe panel. Ive never tested positive for anything else.

Please help. I've been prescribed suboxone 8mg since 10/18. I recently came home from my 6 week stay at the hospital and I was sucked into temptation from an ex to take methamphetamines. I have a appt in 2 days and will have to drug screen. This could be an immediate termination at my Drs and I'm freaking out!! It was the worst mistake I've made in so long. I'm so disappointed in myself and also fearful of my future if this Dr kicks me out. I picked up activated charcoal and also niacin supplements from the dollar store. I've been looking online about the activated charcoal and 50% says its ok to use while taking suboxone and 50% says it will hurt me. I'm so scared. If anyone can please suggest anything it would be so appreciated.. Thank you.

Ok, so I have a drug screening tomorrow at 1:30 pm. I took half of a half of a 1mg suboxone (from an 8mg suboxone) this morning at 8 am. If I drink a lot of water and caffeine, do you think it will be out of my system by then? I really need some answers, but accurate ones. Please and thank you.

For everyone who needs to test positive for suboxone - I used Upass (a brand of synthetic urine) when my probation officer had me drug tested last month (98% sure it was a 12 panel) and the lady who watched me pee looked at the results and was like "hm, Do you take suboxone?" Luckily I do have a prescription, I just smoke marijuana also so I use Upass. So I told her yes, I'm prescribed it and she was like ok that's what that is then. My probation officer said I needed to bring my prescription in next time and I'm sure they will test me again. I've been worried and confused about testing positive for suboxone when I used synthetic urine so I ordered a (12 panel) drug test, (which now has suboxone on it- I wasn't aware, I thought suboxone only showed up if you are given a test that is just for suboxone or if your urine gets sent to the lab) and I bought more Upass and when the drug test arrived I tested the Upass and it shows up two lines (negative) for everything except suboxone! There is a VERY VERY faint second line for suboxone but it takes a while to show and you can BARELY see it at all, in my opinion the line is so faint anyone drug testing you would say it's positive. But, the drug test shows you how the lines look for positive negative and invalid, some show invalid- blank or a strong line on the bottom; positive- one strong line on top; negative- two strong lines and one strong line on top with a somewhat faint line on the bottom. And some show something different - it's the same for everything except negative; negative is only two strong lines. So, to be clear... UPASS WILL MAKE YOU TEST POSITIVE FOR SUBOXONE!

SWIM took approximately 6mg of suboxone yesterday (Saturday) and may have to take a drug test for probation on Thursday. He is not taking heavy doses anymore. Before yesterday, the last time he took any sub was about two weeks prior and longer prior to that. He is very concerned because he has hep c, but starting today (Sunday), he has been drinking lots of water and mixing up homemade detox drinks consisting of freshly squeezed lemons, cayenne pepper, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, etc and plans to repeat this daily until thursday. What does anyone think about his chances? He thinks he'll be ok but is really worried about going back to jail because for the most part he has done really well since being released a month ago (prior to going to jail this last time, he was strung out really really bad on methamphetamine and suboxone), has only slipped up a couple times, yesterday being one, and is mainly concerned about losing his newfound trust from family and friends alike.. Any help or advice is appreciated. Thanks.

AL DHR is requiring a drug screen tomorrow prior to releasing custody of my grandchildren to me. I was on heavy painkillers for years but my son kept stealing them, thus costing me several doctors. I've been taking 1/8 to 1/4 of Suboxone daily for about 6 months. Will it show up?

I've been taking suboxone for about a year..only 2mg a day...I have to test clean in two weeks...since I switched doctors, and benzos are what I'm prescribed..I just need a legit answer... I'm 120lbs, fast metabolism.. If I just stop now cold turkey and deal with it, can I test clean in two weeks? Preferably someone who has actually been in this situation to answer.. Or any similar situation. I plan to dead the subs all together if I'm going to suffer for the next couple weeks. I just need to test clean or I'll be in deeper than ever...my doc knows I've taken it. I'm hoping that he'll see the drastic low levels if it does come up.. But I just want to know if all the suffering will be worth it (as far as the drug test - since I'm going to suffer, there is no reason to continue suboxone... I'm legitimately prescribed benzos, high doses).
