What Does Heroin Show Up As On A Saliva Drug Test

Updated

Hey, I got randomly drug tested by my pain dr. I am prescribed the Dilaudid 8 mg four times a day as well as an extended release Dilaudid 32 mg every day. Prior to this I was on Oxycodone liquid. However, I decided to try heroin for the first time and also used right before going into the doctors office. I was tested with an under the tongue saliva test strip. Everything I have read seems to state heroin will show up as opiates on these drug test. I am freaking out obviously - someone please help me and give me and any suggestions possible so I can prepare for the worst if need be.

If he does not have a line labeled opioid you will be fine, however most drug tests now days have opioids and opiates separate on the test so you can not lie. Opiates as we all know are oxycodones and opioid is the heroin. So if he tests you, you most likely will fail your best bet may be to get out of there or be honest with him. As far as heroin I have been an addict for 3 years and just stopped this year I'm on suboxone treatment and my advice to you is make it the last time you ever do it heed my warning that drug is literally the devil laced in red it will turn good people evil an after a week you won't be able to go without it and you won't be able to s*** plus you can do what half a bag now but soon you'll be at 6 or 8 bags, hell there's never enough, you could be at a bundle then your f***ed bcuz the habit becomes expensive, too expensive to keep and it literally makes pretty people look terrible. I started to look like s*** and so did my husband, so word of advice, quit chilling with who ever had u try it bcuz they ain't your friend, they just wanna feel high or make money while you fail to pay your bills and run the other way. It isn't worth the problems and s*** storm that it brings. I'm paying 200 a month just to stay off it and I wish I never tried it ever.

Thank you for your story and advice. I have failed the test. I can't even begin to describe the level of Sh** I'm in and the consequences it's caused. I was dropped from my doctor and left hanging with a week of Meds left. Luckily I only take my meds when I really hurt so I have some extra to get me by a week or two before withdrawl, which Im frantically trying to find a good dr and get in quickly, in addition to a bunch of other things to take action on.
I am truly sorry to hear what happened to you and hope you are ok. I have a very complicated medical situation that I've been dealing with over the years and frequently have long hard hospital stays due to the issues. In my moment of weekness that led to all this, I will regret the rest of my life, I wish I had a friend like you to interviene. Thank you again for your help and advice and life story, I really appreciate it.

I had the same exact thing happen. You need to talk to the doctor DIRECTLY and promptly. Methadone is KNOWN to cause false postive results for heroin. It sounds like you are not a regular heroin user. If you are smart- you will steer clear of the H until you get this settled at your drs office. Explain to the dr this- be adamant about the fact that you have NEVER and WILL never use heroin and tell him you will gladly come in daily,, weekly, etc. for a drug test until he is satisfied that the etst was incorrect. Demand a re-test. Walking away without a fight just looks guily. Good luck. I was able to get back in good graces at my drs with this advice.

Heroin shows up just as it is..and whoever said methadone is not and opiate is wrong. It is an opiate and that also shows up as methadone nothing else and it will not I repete will not show as a falus poz for herion..idk where some of you people get your info but some of you have no clue what your talking about. It cracks me up reading some of the stuff on here..unless your a reg user or get tested on a daily basis u shouldnt say anything.once again herion shows up as just that and methadone shows up as methadone..exp when u get tested by your doc or by the hospital..I wish u luck man but more n likely your screwed..

That is untrue! Heroin comes up as a morphine base that is often found in heroin. When I can get to my paperwork in morning I will be more specific. But it came up in my results as morphine as well as some other word basically saying it's a compound found in heroin. It makes no difference if you felt its effects or not, it will show metabolites of heroin and if used within 24 to 48 hours the probability is high that it will show. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but someone is giving you the wrong info! I will get back to you if you really want to know EXACTLY HOW IT SHOWS, AS I HAVE COPY OF MY DIRTY DRUG SCREEN FROM A LAB; FROM URINE AS WELL AS MOUTH SWAB. LET ME KNOW IF YOU WOULD LIKE EXACT WORDING! {edited for privacy}

Saliva tests will show for heroin. Cause they look for opiates but they also look at how your liver emezimes break it down there is a certain molacule that shows up in your liver emzimes once it's broken up. It will also show all medications that were taken by name. I know this personally cause I've failed a few times and I have an awesome doctor so I was able to be honest with him . He understood cause how the opiate academic is plus I've had chronic pain for 12 years. If you wanna speed up your metabolism. I used b12 b6 and straight niacin. It's found in energy drinks or u can get it from the vitamin section in a dollar store. When I did that my test was negative you have to do it over a 2 to 3 day period if you wanna be on the safe side
