There have been some drug related charges filed in my immediate association with someone and that person has been trying to get off of opiate based drugs with the help of Suboxone film. We need to know if it will show positive on the drug test administered by the court system.

Patti,
I wonder if one day this will change also, due to the amount of people that seem to be abusing it more and more. Thoughts?
Normally it does not. Also depending on your dose it might not even show up if they tested for it. I have been tested 3 straight months now and even though I am on 2 mgs per day the DR has told me the suboxone does not show up in my urine screen even though he is looking for it. Not once has it appeared. It says it is not uncommon. Since I take my dose in the morning I am going to take later in the day on my next visit the 28th to see if it then shows up then. I do not know your dose nor do I think it is something they check on since their panel usually is for cocaine, pcp, tsh, opiates and alcohol.

Dear jilly, girl, shhhhh don't say that too loud, they might start if they hear that it doesn't show up. Of course I am being facetious. And my dearest coby, thank you for that, I bet you have a really high metabolism. One person who used to come here called the company that makes it, they said between 11 and 24 days for it to be completely undetectable. She tested clean for a court ordered ( ex husband was trying to get custody of the kids, he asked for a bupe panel) hair and urine test and she was clean 2 weeks out at 8 mgs per day. I think once a person gets lower than 4 mgs (the true therapeutic start dose) it wears off and out much quicker than 8 to 16 mgs per day. Thank you for adding that. Patti
Dear Patti my DR says the same thing. Ok so I have a degree in Microbiology believe it or not. I know what it means a high metabolism. What I do not know is; does it make detoxing more difficult or easier if it is not in my urine after like 8 hours? MY DR has no idea. I am trying the later dose on day of testing to come up with some kind of hypothesis, yet I do not know what I am trying to predict. So if it is not in my urine or absorbs into my body and leaves my kidneys quicker then most, am I almost detoxing on a daily basis? At the end of the day it might not mean a thing, I am hoping to hear something like you are indeed detoxing daily and by the time you get to .25 if you can tolerate it, then withdrawals might not be nearly as severe as I have been agonizing over.
So I continue to over analyze over think and over worry. But, I remain to supportive to all and committted to the process.
your friend, always

Coby, I think as long as it is on the receptor sites and you feel fine, don't worry unless your dr thinks you are not taking them and doesn't want to give you anymore. I have tried so hard to let you young ones know that you were started at 2 mgs, I was started on 12, so you are going to be so much better off than me when I tapered, but I was fine, I promise you I was fine. Was it all sunshine, rainbows and videos of tiny kittens playing, NO, but there was no appreciable withdrawal they way I did it. I was living with a bi-polar cousin who hated my cat, she actually disappeared the cat, i had to move in with a elderly sick former neighbor, my bf didn't understand my fear of coming off, but I still was fine. And Booter46 sent me a text every day when I got down to the skip and asked how I was. He is one of the ones who jumped at 2 mgs and he said it wasn't too bad. I will be waiting to hear about your experiment and hypothesis.

I didn't feel the subs wearing off at all until I got to the .5 mark per day and it was very slight, more being afraid than anything and i PROMISE the fear makes any little symptoms seem magnanamous, you just have to keep that in mind. mpvt, a methadone community member here, who used this trick to get from a super high dose of methdone down to a normal one, said to walk when you are tapering, he was so RIGHT. I promise it works. Those who don;t heed that advice do NOT stabilize as quickly. I went thru a super rough time in my personal life when I was at 2 mgs down to 1 and I promise, I was fine. I know the fear, and mpvt said the fear is what makes it worse. He was right about that too. Now, I am fine, it will be a year in october, I have changed jobs twice, no relapse at all. Had a crown put on my tooth, no opiates needed. I am fine and so are several others who did the slow taper and the exercise, They include, Used2Be, UNLVgrad and ski801, check their profiles and it will make you feel better when you read their stories. And thank you for your experiment, but as long as their is some on the receptor sites, you should be fine. Patti
Patti my dear friend. LOL I am not a young one. 40's closer to 50. So though I may feel young I am not. True I am paranoid and I think you are indeed right when you say the mind and the fear of feeling like I did before when I went 8 weeks of pure hell. I feel bad talking about me here on anothers question. I will send to you a PQ and update you about my hypothesis. Will it be in my system or how fast is it leaving my system etc. And what it might mean. It would be cool if it meant it will be easier.
Ok enough talk to you later somewhere else.
you are a sweetheart!!!
