Methadone not showing up in my urine?

Tina14275621 over a year ago

I have been on methadone for 8 years, clean urines the whole time etc. I have "earned" all 6 of my take homes(in PA your only allowed 6) and have had them for years. In November, 2012 my urine came back with no methadone, I was on 48mgs. I was on other meds at the time for an UTI, I was also recovering from bronchitis and pneumonia so I was on a few antibiotics. I had them check if any of those would interfere with the test and the lab said no! I had no choice but to earn my way back up. I currently have gotten 4 of my take homes back and was getting the 5th this month. My counselor called me Wed. 1/16/13 and told me again there was no methadone in my urine!! I am extremely upset, lost, confused and feel like I've been smacked in the face and everything I've worked for is gone! I am currently in 43mgs. Why isn't it showing up?? Of course the clinic thinks I'm selling my dose or messing with my urine, which I'm not. I am terrified of going through withdrawal or being sick so believe me I take my dose as prescribed! Please help me with figuring this out!! Something isn't right.

I completely understand. The same thing happened to me at my clinic. I've always had clean UAs and never skipped a dose. I too was at maximum privileges and was taken down recently because, for the second time, methadone didn't show up in my pee. Metabolite of methadone did, but no methadone. I am at 46mg and have recently come down from 80mg within 8months. I'm afraid that even if they take all my privileges away, this will still keep happening and the thought of being kicked out of this clinic terrifies me. I take adderall and don't know if this causes an interaction? But if anyone has any knowledge about this issue please share!

I am having problems in Kalamazoo Michigan I'm at about 56 maybe 54 as my dose is blind. I am unable to get this lifted my counselor said I obsessed by over my mgs. But I found out today that out of14 screenings 5 had methadone present my mouth swab came back positive. I am angry over the dirty I received as you know how long take out privileges take to accumulate. Also the "metabolites" however are present. I was menstruating and was forced to have a female nurse inside of the bathroom which is already under surveillance. I attempted twice and was unable to urinate. I begged for a mouth swab they refused and gave me the dirty due to the fact I just had a mouth swab and 2 urine screens. They keep telling my counselor that I'm lying there is no possible way no matter what the methadone should be present.WELL I'M LIVING VERY PISSED OFF PROOF. Ideal like I have no rights at all n it's my fault for thinking they'll help.ive never given any reason to be questioned they tried to say it looks suspicious on camera but they can't prove it. Even though not one not two not three..but all 4 nurses have made comments about the way I flush the toilet with my foot never NEVER NEVER NEVER DID ONE NURSE EVER SAY IT WAS SUSPICIOUS. TELL THEM YOU WANT A PEEKENTRAUTH OLD SPELLING (PEAK_EN TROTH) IS HOW IT SOUNDS. Otherwise theyll just keep digging and trying to pin it on you . Im not supposes to be upset if im not dpimg anything wrong lmao I call BS! I wouldn't give a rat's was if I deserves this torment and anxiety. People recovering fight every day for their clean drops and take pride in them. Apparently they don't understand accusing people bcuz of their faulty tests is both wrong and devastating. It's tiresome and ridiculously busy sometimes with 72 people in que! And when doing nothing wrong forces you to go there EVERY SINGLE DAY when you shouldn't have to YOU well...for me anyways ,makes .e lose faith they are trying to help and not solely be doing it to line their pockets . There is absolutely No reason the educated people employed there shouldnt be able to figure out what aspect they are missing.I mean I can even connect the dots I weighed 152 in November And today (june) I weigh 123.. My blood pressure is 92/37 o And why the hell did they not have any concern about it 14 urine screens ago?!?!?!? I m rambling now let me know updates

I feel as though my story was told by someone else. Down to the menstruating and having the nurse present Im also in the Kalamazoo location.Im just 30yrs. Peak and trough results( although Im at 58mgs)revealed that i metabolize rapidly.
