Wrong... doctors now prescribe subs for pain relief instead of giving people standard opiates. The whole 'suboxone for addicts' has changed and is being used differently this day and age.

Lol wow you're not arrogant AT all. Lol, you"re response didnt pertain ro anything om topic at all either. I didnt say anythinf about WHY doctors prescribed him the meds. It doesn't matter WHY a person started taking it. That is a moot point. If a person is chemically dependant on opiates, regardless of if they began taking them as heroin use or if it was a prescription, the bottom line is: that person is Chemicslly dependant. Now maybe i misunderstood the person i was responding to because it IS entirely possible that he/she just up and decided to take a sub one day for no reason and maybe thats why hes worried about failing a DT. If that is the case; User, you have nothing to worry about after about a week of time since you took it last. Bupe has a significantly longer half-life than most other opioids (36hour HL). So it will be detectable in your system longer than a drug like H or Oxy.

Now if you did NOT just up and randomly decide to take bupe for any particular reason other than to feel what it does then....

Regardless of what the pervios fool tried to say....... even IF a dr is prescribing low level buperenorphine for pain, if you take an opioid long enough you may become Chemically Dependant. This is a fact that your doctor surely would have warned you about if he gave it to you for pain. Noe it is important to understand there is a difference betweem Drug Addicted and Chemically Dependant. Even if you take your opioids as directed, you may become Chemically Dependant. If anyone tries to argue that, ask them to present evidence. There is a plethera of information supporting what I just said.

Now the following is simply My Advisendue to what I experienced personally. I made the choice to leave the CDL field because it is RIPE with people ready to so any truck driver for any reason they can come up with. Perhapse they believe that who they are suing will be the trucking company and that big companies can take a hit like that. I can assure you they will blood test you if you're involved in a traffic accident where someone is injured and they think they can pin the blame on you. This is why I went back to being an automotive tech as my situatio required me to be on subs for many months. Ultimately its your choice. I hope this helps.

If one takes suboxone, un prescribed, and they go in for a hair follicle pre employment druge test.
1) will this show up?, or is it looked for on a HF test?

I can tell you now for sure it does not show up in the DOT screens, nor does it show up in the hair follicle test. The DOT is a 5 panel test... the hair follicle is a 5 panel plus extended opiates. Suboxone does not fall under those categories. I also know for sure because I, within the past month, have passed them.

I've read totally different answers to this question. I need the truth.
I am taking .25 milegrams of suboxon twice a day. A very small amount. I'm getting ready to take a DOT drug test. Both urine and hair follicle test. Will the suboxon show up

Re: captain jack (# 91)

Did you ever go through with your test? And if so how did it turn out? I'm paranoid just responding to this chat so i really feel for you...same story I've heard a thousand times. Had a terrible thing happen to me... My doctor put me on pain meds... then recommended Suboxone for chronic pain. I could have gone on disability but i chose to work, i'd like to get my CDL but now I don't know. I didn't think much of it till they mentioned a hair follicle test. One story i read from a Dr. who treats with Suboxone and Methodone said his patient lost his CDL after working 8 years with a spotless record.. The doc went to bat for him saying he'd rather have him on the road than someone who took an Ambien to go to sleep. So I've heard both... it depends on the company.. and the doc that does the testing... God Bless... and if anyone else can give an update on the Suboxone testing for Truckers please do.

I have been reading and reading and i keep getting two conflicting answers. I have been on suboxone for 3 years after 6 years of heroine addiction and it has done wonders for my life. I went from being homeless to being a manager making 80k a year. But new HR director came to the company and implemented “safe workplace program” and enrolled everyone into random drug testing. I get the forms to give to my guys and my number hasn’t came up yet but I know it’s coming. The forms say 5 panel DOT equivalent urineanalisis. I’m just very nervous. I just want to hear from people who have taken DOT test and the outcome. I don’t want to hear to just stop taking suboxone. I’m on 2MG a day and it helps me mentally control the urges to use and I can’t take a week off to get off them. It is what it is I’m just looking for answers so I can quit worrying.

Re: Question17 (# 114)

This very same question has been asked several times throughout this thread's long life. When you decide to forgo actually Reading the thread, you're basically telling people "hey, I'm too lazy to read through this whole thing but could you take some of your time to do my work for me and then give me the answer for free?" Just thought I'd point that out.

A 5 panel drug test means that only 5 drugs classes are being tested for. Those drugs are generally THC, Cocaine, Amphetamines, Opioids, PCP.

Many drugs are close relatives of very different drugs. Amphet test will pop you dirty for Methamphetamine and MDMA at the same time. But you could also be called a Methamphetamine-head if you forgot that you took one of your buddy's adderall 2 days ago to help you stay up and study for a test. Similarly, you might be called a heroin junkie if you take a Vicoden as both pop dirty as Opioids. Your test will ONLY differentiate between these alike kinds of drugs if your urine is forwarded to have complete lab work done on it. Some test facilities only request full lab work in the case of your urine testing dirty during the initial Test Strip (similar to an at home pregnancy test). Other facilities will give you AND your employer/potential employer the preliminary test results in the case of your urine came up clean according to the Test Strip method then they will forward the specimen to a lab for complete labwork to be done also. If later they find something, they can update you and the employer. It will be difficult for you to know which version of that will apply to your test. However, the more tests that are requested the more expensive the drug test becomes. Every single test they are asked to perform will raise the cost of the test. For this reason, they will never test for extra things such as male vs female urine or human vs canine urine or pregnancy hormone test. Yes you can substitute your dog's pee and that will work! Only, just hope the dog hasn't pulled a cheech n chong and ate some of your stash. LOL! Just follow him/her around with a soup ladle, trust me it works.

Now, the question of Buprenorphine showing up on the test is confusing because YES..... It is true that it is an opioid. However, it is made in a completely different way. It is made by somehow converting the opiate-stimulant.

Re: David (# 2)

I'm glad the MRO renewed his card. I think anyone going out of their way to make it difficult for the driver is an *****! LOTS of *****s out there. Let the guy do his job. Suboxone has absolutely NO BEARING on a driver's driving abilities. Not mood altering in anyway. No high involved at all!!!

Re: A bupe patient (# 115)

Actually... It's the very opposite... My problem is I did read all the responses... Got 10 different answers! But I found out myself that you do pass a 5 panel dot test while on subs. (I lowered my dose for 3 days and didn't take any the day of test) and passed. So I got my answer...Test will be negative!

I'm going for a drug test for E-ZPASS through Wilson Employment NH and i'm on Suboxone. I believe its a DOT test because its for e-zpass. The test is next week 12/7/17 . I need to know if they've changed the testing style to include sub. I think it will be lab tested! If anyone has RECENTLY passed their test please let me know! I really need/want this job but i don't know if it will be out of my system by then! Thank you

Re: vplw (# 37)

You are right. I have been driving a truck for 22 years and have been on methadone for 17 years. I have never tested positive. I take Suboxone and now I'm getting ready to have my first 5-panel drug screen. I really hope it doesn't show up. I don't think it will.
