I am a pain specialist patient and have been for about 5 years. I take 150mg of Nucynta ER twice a day. Two months ago I was taken off 50mg of Nucynta/day for breakthrough pain. For the last several months, I have been required to have a UA. Today, I was told that the UA from last month showed no traces of Nucynta. How can this be possible? I do occasionally fall asleep before taking my night medicines, but I can't remember if that was the case last month.
If I take 150mg of Nucynta ER twice a day, what can cause my UA to show no traces of Nucynta ER?

Kcgracey; Sorry I can't buy this either it sounds like someone screwed up which some of these places do as you should know or they mixed yours with someone else's. FOR ONE thing, I don't like they would not test you today and mention to you that you were positive last test Something sounds fishy here. You had BETTER DO SOME CHECKING WITH THEM ON HOW AND WHY YOU WERE NOT TOLD OF A PROBLEM PRIOR TO NOW ABOUT A U/A THAT WAS A MONTH OR MORE AGO. ChUCK1957
