I am not asking so that I can get some…
Someone dear to me has just passed away. He was a cocaine addict and experienced a lot of back pain. After he died I found out he had been taking Methadone for 3 days. He had more than 100 pills prescribed by his doctor. He basically just stopped breathing in his sleep and his heart failed. Why would his doctor prescribe him Methadone when a simple blood test would confirm he occasionally takes drugs? I thought patients on Methadone were monitored not handed hundreds of pills…

If they screen for opiates, then they would show up and it all will tell them is you have opiates in your system. If you have a legitimate reason for taking these and a doctor’s prescription, I cannot see any reason why they would not hire you, unless they don’t want someone who is taking pain medication working for them. Good luck.    Read more...

Yes it sure does. Methadone is an opiate the same thing that is the main ingredient of heroine and morphine and Oxycontin even Vicodin.
They will all be listed as opiates without differentiating them.
So if you took a little Methadone and little VIcodin and a little Heroine. It all adds up under OPIATES.
It is very hard to get past a urine test for opiates.
I don’t know about Qtpie but I am the guy in the lab doing these tests and methadone is lumped togehther with all opiates. There is no way to separate them    Read more...
