and that no other opiates are present? I know the test they use is checking for Oxycodone and Buprenorphine levels because apparently the Buprenorphine or the naloxone .metabolizes into oxycodone. And from what I gather oxymorphone also metabolizes into oxycodone... not sure though... So will they detect the oxymorphone or will the results be the same as if only suboxone was present... Thanks
Will oxymorphone show up on a test that is checking to confirm suboxone is present in your system?

I can't specifically answer your question and not really sure where it is going but my sub doctor gives monthly tests. They test for the buprenorphine at the office but then they mail the sample off to a lab to check for anything else to make sure I'm not taking anything I'm not suppose to be.

When they tested us, it did show other opiates if someone had taken them on the quick test they do in the office. The mail off tests are supposedly more accurate, so, it show up as both. That is the purpose of the test, to see if anyone is taking something they shouldn't. If the person keeps taking opiates on top of the subs, they will usually kick them off the program, but, i think they may let them have at least one slip up.

The test will confirm the presence of suboxone and (maybe) its' level in your system. Then it's mailed out to a lab where it's checked for other substances. Oxycodone, Vicodin, Percodan, codeine (opiates in general) metabolize in to morphine in the system. But suboxone is different. They have a way to distinguish this med from all others. Regardless of what it eventually metabolizes as in the system. I think this is correct. Patti's right in that subs will test as subs only. Then they can check for other things too.

I know that that is not entirely accurate, as Oxycodone metabolizes into Oxymorphone NOT morphine.That's why i took oxymorphone and not morphine. They test for oxycodone levels when checking for sub, because it metabolizes into Oxycodone... and since when you TAKE oxycodone it metabolizes into oxymorphone. So i am assuming when the Sub breaks down into Oxycodone... that Oxycodone will break down further in Oxymorphone, I'm just not sure of the levels and if they can tell the difference.

NO OFFENSE but what you said about all those metabolizing into morphine is WAY OFF,,you shouldn't post if your not POSITIVE that it is 100% accurate. thanks for trying though. :) J...

right I know they do that, but what I'm saying/asking is if you use oxymorphone/Opana close enough to the time time your drug test at your opana Dr's--will it be distinguishable from the the suboxone?/because from what I was told by my Dr is that they test for the suboxone by checking the for Buprenorphine and Oxycodo
buprenorphine and oxycodone which the suboxone breaks down into. And I found out that Oxymorphone breaks down into Oxycodone. So Im wondering if the oxymorphone will show up in that test. Or will the results just be consistent with having suboxone my system?
