If you google elavil on the internet and urine tests, they can indeed detect it in your urine, if you are taking it every day and they have a reason to suspect you may be abusing this drug, they can see it under testing.
I did a google on elavil and urine testing which is where I go my answer for you. The internet is a wonderful tool to use. Sometimes you may think somthing is just too "stupid" or "dumb" to look up, or you'll never find an answer for this, never give up, I have found information that really baffles me, and I was thankful I turned to the internet for an answer. Have a great day, be careful with this medication, and never stop it abruptly, you can have serious problems. Take the time to look it up, you'll be happy you did. :) Bless you.

Not everything on the internet is correct. I've personally worked for a Urinalysis lab and have never seen a positive drug test while a patient was on Elavil. Just an FYI.

I guess it could depend on what type of drug test they use. We would use a chemical urinalysis machine (Can't remember the name of the machine) as well as dip stick tests. I guess it's possible but I've personally never seen it in the 4 years of working for the Urinalysis lab.

If you do a google search on Elavil and Urinalysis, everybody will tell you it does not cause a false positive- probationees, health care professionals, nurses, etc. who know from personal experience. The only people who will tell you it does are the people selling UA-fooling devices and products, and they are just out to make a dollar, as most of those kits are as effective as drinking extra water. I know you feel smart and satisfied with your answer, and the internet is a wonderful tool to use, if you know how to use it. If you take the information at face value you will always be baffled, because it is biased. Learn to assess your sources before you become satisfied with your search results.
Elavil will not show up on a typical 7-panel drug test.

Hi jttt33,
I just have to say, if your drug of choice was other "narcotics", they would have no reason to look for elavil in your system. Also, because elavil is used in lower doses for soft tissue pain, it may not show up, and it used in higher doses for depression / anxiety etc. Because doctors use this medications for other reasons then say pain, your probation officer would not think to have the lab test for this drug. And if you're taking it "legally" by RX from a Doctor, they have no reason to suspect you would be abusing it. Just thought I would share that with you. You have a great day. Bless you!

just a word this is a 7 panel test and elavil is not a narcotic and why would you want to abuse it it doesnt get you high all it does is make you sleepy..so trust me you are safe unless they do bloodwork and find the chemical..
