Same thing happened to me. I take 1 ml nightly.I have had 3 urine tests they all failed to show the zanax. The practitioner is giving me a hard time.It make s me feel like a criminal. What is wrong with these tests? I have been taking zanax for 20 years.

Always ask for a blood test, I learned that after I had a doctor who trusted me, it never showed in my urine but my blood level was spot on

Although most benzodiazepines show up in standard urine tests, some don't. Alprazolam (Xanax), clonazepam (Klonopin), temazepam (Restoril), and triazolam (Halcion) may not be found in many of the common tests.

To add credibility and to acquire answers of my own, I'm responding to this post... I also take Klonopin A.K.A. Clonazapam approximately 2-4 MG / day (as needed) for anxiety. Recently, I needed a copy of my drug screen from the doctor and noticed the Benzo category did not show positive... At first, I thought this to be a typo or mistake, yet a few weeks later another 12 panel urinalysis (same as first doctor) and it showed no Benzo... Now I have taken 4 panels or 6 panel urinalysis at home with Positive Benzo results... I also worry they will think I am not taking my meds... Could this be less medically related but possibly have anything to do with the lower panels vs. the 12 panels I receive at the doctor's office? I'm not a doctor and have no medical training or experience, other than that of a patient.

It's happening to me right now I have taken 2 urine tests in 3 weeks both negative I take 2mg of ativan a night to sleep now Dr won't prescribe bc it's not detected, I have been on it for years to sleep, and he cut me off cold turkey today

Tegretol (carbomazopine) can drastically lower your levels and speed up the half life so it is excreted faster. Could this be a correlation?

klonapin doesn't show up in a basic benzo test where they test for all benzos with on e test. it has to be tested for specifically, looking for the metabolite.

Same thing happened to me as well. IT caused bme to loose my script. I went from 2mg 3 times daily,
To 1mg twice daily, to f*****g HALF MG (which didn't do a damn thing being as how long I was on double that... 4 years, and I was weighing in at 210 at the time).
I even told my doctor, LET ME TAKE ONE RIGHT HERE, in FRONT of You, for f**ks sake. First thing in the Morning, Then I will sit here ALL DAMN DAY, and just when you are about to leave, I will piss for you... And PROVE TO YOU, WITHOUT A DOUBT, that I take them. And it is in fact YOUR CHEAP URINE TESTS, which are SO INACCURATE that they ARE NOT allowed in a Court of Law as evidence.
One must get Chromatography or Gas Spectrometer to use in court. And I EVEN DEMANDED one of those to Prove I was taking them. He would Not do it.
I think he, being an Internest, felt uncomfortable prescribing a Psych med to me. However, my Previous doctor, AN ADDICTION MEDICINE SPECIALIST, and one of the MOST respected in the city, saw fit to prescribe it to me, while also on Suboxone.
Also, this Doctor narrowly missed the fallout of a Scandal of Doctors who were way overprescribing certain Lucrative pain meds to some of their patient's, supposedly in hopes to curb the need for them to buy street drugs. Noble bleeding heart cause that Blew up in All Involveds faces. How he got out of that oneu scathed is Beyond me. He was WAY overscripting people, to the point of being Lethal!!

I had the same problem and my pain doctor sent the urine out for additional testing and it came back positive for benzo...if anyone sees a pain doctor and is told their klonopin does not show up in their urine test demand they send your urine out for a better test vs getting relieved by your pain doctor
