Drug testing

I didn't know how to word this on google, so I figured I'd ask you guys and gals

If one has a script for a certain substance, and they were administered a random test by an employer would they be in the clear as long as they have proof of the script? It's probably better to explain my exact situation. I have a script for 15 hydrocodone (as needed, no refills). It doesn't expire for a year, so I'm assuming it's good for a year to be used as an excuse if a drug test was to happen? My main question is, if I use another opiate/opiod, whether it be oxycodone, oxymorphone, etc., will the hydrocodone script cover my ass on a random drug test? Will the test differentiate the oxycodone from hydrocodone, or is a simple positive for any opiate/opioid?

It depends. I'm pretty decently versed with drug tests. If the drug test is a simple assay then opiates are opiates. Heroin, morohine, codeine will trigger a positive and cannot distinguish. Vicodin can sometimes trigger the opiate panel as well. Oxy will not and Oxy requires a special test to test for it.

Generally when the assay triggers a positive, it'll be sent to a lab for GC/Ms verification. This is extremely accurate and WILL tell which drugs you have. So they can distinguish be the any of the opiates or opioids.

Do you know if it's an assay with gcms verification? If so there is no tricking it. If it's just an assay those are cheap and unreliable. Many employers will use gcms to verify. For me, hydrocodone sometimes will not show up unless an extended opioid panel was ordered. But taking a lot of hudrocodone can trigger it. But an extended opioid panel usually will include Oxy and hydrocodone and the like.

Remember drug tests check for drug metabolites. Not the drug itself. They can tell by breakdown what you e taken. For instance, dialuadid is a minor metabolite of hudrocodone. Someone taking hydrocodone will also have dialaudid in their system and its metabolites. It someone just had dialaudid and not the other metabolites then the MRO will know the patient just took dialuadid and not hydrocodone.

First order of business - are they ordering gcms confirmation? If so, then they can tell exactly what you've taken. If not, they might not be able to distinguish. However Oxy will not show in a standard assay so there is an Oxy assay and obviously if that's triggered you e taken Oxy. On home assays I've triggered positive for Oxy when all I've taken is norco. I don't know why but just be aware of that

yea you can store the clean urine. you'll need to freeze it tho cuz it only lasts about 1 day or less at room temp it will smell and they will know something is up. What I've done is freeze clean piss till I know the day of the test and an hr before unfeeze, get yourself some "hot hands", those packs they sell at Walgreens for a dollar. they are little bags that when exposed to air get warm. get some kind of discreet bottle and rubber band the prewarmed hot hands to it and jock if. the temp needs to be around 92-98 so when you defrost use hot water to get it right. the other option is the whizzanator which is a fake dick and it has a pouch to store the urine. I've used that with much sucsess however if they pat u down its game over. good luck

Probably won't even show up. A lot of tests don't check for the codones.

I passed a fest high on vicodin once. I wasn't allowed to take it at work but could use it after work. Had a script...

Synthetic urine can be your best friend...

i read this in a drug user publication, can anyone confirm?

certain types of opiates (H, morphine, done) are detectable in your urine for approximately 24 hours before being converted/metabolised by your body. after the 24 mark they can only detect that you have some kind of opiate in your body, not which particular type (or whether its legal/illegal)

They usually do a dip test and if you fail on anything then they send it away for gc/ms to tell actual amounts. If you have a script they can tell how much should be in your bodyand compare the amount in your body to what they figure it should be. I've probably taken 7 piss tests in the last 8 years and done a lot of research on it, never failed.
