2 months now oxycodone is showing positive when all I am prescribed is opana. Also they said opana didn't show up on cup quick read and I took it this am. Are they trying to pull something on me or what?

Perhaps something is wrong with the test? I would request (demand) testing at a laboratory, by blood test if possible. You may have to pay for the test but your name will be cleared. Check the contract you signed (if you did - most places do) and see what your rights are. You should be allowed to challenge their results with a test of your own. Doctors are all about the bottom line, so they buy the most economical tests they can which may not always be accurate. Have them test you, then go straight to the lab for your testing. Best wishes -

I can tell you why it showed up as oxycodone in the drug screen. Most "Point of Care" tests don't show Oxymorphone on the read out. It does show up as oxycodone because when your body metabolizes opana it breaks down into get this, oxycodone and morphine!!! On my "POC" test I can test positive for oxycodone and negative for opiates... explain that one to me, lol. That doctor should send that test to a lab to confirm results and if he doesn't then DEMAND that he send it out to an independent lab to test for oxymorphone specifically. You have the right to challenge, as respectfully as possible, the results of any drug screen you take and respectfully request that your sample be sent out to a lab to be tested.
