drug screen not showing clonazepam

WHY WOULD CLONAZEPAM NOT BE DETECTED IN URINE SCREEB

WHY COULD CLONAZEPM NOT BE DETECTED IN URINE SCREEN

This happened to me just last week and I was taking them 3 times a day but my doctor said it didn't show up in my urine and took me off of them. Now I can't sleep. She said that it's not in your urine so where are they going like I was selling them or something. I have been through so much and I feel like nobody believes me when I say I'm in pain or can't sleep. I feel helpless. Should I go to another doctor? Somebody please help me. Thanks. Cynthia

the same exact thing happened to me. I take generic Klonopin .5mg 2-3x daily prescribed by the pain Dr I've been going to for over 2 years. All patients get urine tested 2x per year. Because I take a light opiate for pain I have urine retention and hardly ever pee until 7pm the earliest (even though I drink ALL day long). Instead they give me an oral test where I have this piece of blotter paper in my mouth for like 3 minutes. All my tests have been fine. Now all of a sudden 2 months ago my Klonopin didn't show up so at my next appt a month later they did the test again. here I am a month later (Yesterday) and they're saying test was negative again so the Dr wasn't going to prescribe it for me any more because he doesn't want any problems with his clinic (he is totally afraid of the DEA) cold turkey for me. (during all this my appts were with the PA not the Dr) meantime I'm swearing on my eyes that I go blind that I'm taking my meds...omg which I am or I would be a panic maniac. So I get a urine test cup go to bathroom & sit there literally praying (I'm an agnostic) that I can pee into that darn cup. I get a few drops out. They must have dip sticked it because they gave me the results right away and they were negative. So I said I would do a blood test right then and there. Dr said take it up with my general physician, for him it was a done deal period. At least they have given me an appt for next month. I don't think a positive test next month would change his mind because it wouldn't be a "pop" test. My GP told me 2 yrs ago that she won't give me benzos as it's out of her practice's purview. Now I'm tearing apart the internet looking for answers & finding many people with this klonopin neg test problem.

THE ONE THING I'VE FOUND IS TO ASK for a GC-MS test ( Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) said to be very expensive. I know nothing else about this test or why it would show different results.

What I can't understand is if I googled this to find a page of results, all chat boards like this filled with people with this problem....then wouldn't someone else in my Dr's practice have had this problem? I'm so scared that on my next appt he's going to fire me. Which would be a huge problem for me.
Yeah, long answer. Thanks for letting me vent. I have no one in my life I trust enough to talk about my health and meds problem. I live in a small town and it's very gossipy. I used to live in NYC but my friends up there, tho they're close and I trust them with anything else just not this.

the DEA polices all drs that prescribe controlled substances. So. yeah, drs are afraid big time!!

This just happen to me day before yesterday. I been kicked out of not one but two Dr's because they think I'm not taking them. I take 1mg 4 Times daily. If I don't have them I can't go out of the house or do nothing. Been on them for About 25 years now. She done a blood test and said it came back negative. Idk what to do cause I have.... to have them . I even went to my Po and did a 12 panel urine test and it didn't show up . Really I need some info please.

20 mg of klonopin will not kill you.

I ALWAYS fail my benzo test for clonazepam no matter how much I take. I was tested weekly, and always would fail if I even took 1mg and stopped 5 days before. Does anyone have a Detox solution I could take the day of the test that actually WORKS?

20 mg of Klonopin?? That would prolly have serious affects since the standard dose is 2mg.

It's a shame so many doctors don't understand why klonopin won't show in most patients in the expensive urine testing methods. I don't care how advanced the testing is in 2017, it's not going to show in more than half the population as a benzo thus; they if dumb will think you didn't take it.

Best you can do is have them call the manufacturer since klonopin 8 hours later isn't going to show in the blood as a benzo either and it has a massive half life but it's secreted by the kidneys quickly so 3 hours after dose it's not showing in most people yet it's still affecting them. It's amazing that pain management clinics & other places don't get this. Doctors, Nurses, lab specialists, are clueless on this one so it seems. This harms patients but as stated, have them call the manufacturer to get educated since this isn't in Nursing or medical school yet.

I was taking 6mg a day and it didn't show! I took my meds the right way too. I've never done an illegal drug & never sold anything or been in any trouble in 50 something years. I nearly sued that clinic. Next time I would if it happened again. I advise others here to take legal action if tossed out aka cut off cold of klonopin for bad test since going cold on that med is dangerous.

whats her number

I'm having the same problem, failed urine and blood test, take clonazapam 3xdaily. 0.5 ml both acsme back negative, what did you find out cause I need to fix this, I am not selling my meds,

Same issue I am having. I've been on klonapan 1ml x3 daily for 13 years, fought finding a Dr in NC which I recently moved to who no drug tests me for a monthly refill, went in last Friday, and being forced to go back today. Was told my urine screen showed no signs of benzos and that if I don't adhere to another costly screening she will not write another script. have never missed a dose ?
Frustrated

Clonazepam doesn't show up positive in almost all urine tests. It has to do with the chlorine group attached to the molecule at the front (the "clon" in clonazepam).

The chlorine group makes clonazolam metabolize using different metabolic pathways, which standard UA tests don't pick up on. That's why a blood test will show it, but a pee test won't: the blood test people know which metabolites to look for.

Hope this helped answer your question!

The only way 20 mg of klonopins wouldn't kill you is if you been on them for a long time an been abusing them on a regular basis.
