OK. I have a huge issue and I don’t know where to go for help and I’m not even sure if I’m posting this in the correct place but I hope I am. I have been taking control pain medication prescribed by my physician for several years. I have had many drug screens both random and scheduled as well as medication check up/count and have always done very well without issues. The last part of last month (October) I went for my normal visit for refills and a scheduled drug screen and the drug screen come back positive for Methamphetamines. I have never used methamphetamines of any kind. I received a call from my doctors office specifically from his nurse saying I was being discharged from receiving controlled substances because of the test. I scheduled an appointment five days later to meet with my doctor face to face and spoke with him about the result and he said that he had spoke with the company that does the drug testing and they use a special type of testing which employees a Mass spectrometer type testing which does not give false positives. He did agree that because of my history and I did not show any physical signs of methamphetamine use that I could have possibly ingested d it without my knowledge and allowed me to take another urine drug screens during that visit. This time the test came back positive for methamphetamine and a morphine derivative. Well I was shocked of course because I really do not take anything besides what is prescribed although being completely honest I have and do sometimes have to take more than what is prescribed but always the same as what I am prescribed because I’ve never wanted to take the chance of losing my pain management. I spoke with the nurse once again and requested that all my medications that I am prescribed be tested to see if that could be the source but She informed me that is not something they will be doing and that I need to find me a different physician or clinic to obtain my pain medications. I am totally a wreck and obviously no other clinic or physician is going to prescribe me controlled substance is with that on my record. I don’t know what to do. Could someone please help me. I waited this long to post this because I have researched and researched and researched trying to find an answer to this issue but have not been able to. I always thought that here in the US you are innocent until proven guilty and you have a right to your day in court but I have not been given such a right eye was found guilty and convicted with no defense available. Help!

Perhaps try to get into a clinic that focuses on Recovery that could prescribe subutex or methadone, both which can be useful in treatment of pain. Not sure how many other options you may have. If I supplement my doctors prescribed diet of meds, I make sure I stop taking anything and everything that wasn't prescribed by my own doctor and picked up at my local pharmacy for a period of at least 15 days to avoid this issue specifically. You just never know. Best of luck and keep us posted! I'm sure it will help others here.

 
@never2many I really appreciate your response. They found Meth and a morphine derivative in my system. I have never even seen meth in person and had not taken anything other than what I had picked up at pharmacy for over a month because of funds. I did find this article that seems to be awesome information for folks going through what I am. I’m praying this helps. I’ll keep you posted.

So does it really take 15 days for everything to clear?

 
I'm having trouble following fully but am VERY interested in what happened and how this happened if it wasn't recreational drug-use, this is such a fear of mine! and no one would believe you. Sounds like the worst.

 
Harvey,

I went through  the same thing at an ER a few years ago, I was only taking Fioricet, and they said I was positive for Meth WHICH I HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN IN MY LIFE!  What is with these false positives????? This is crazy!!!!!  I am so sorry you are going through this as I wade through the process of fining a new PM Doc! I am so sorry this has happened to you!  hugs! 💖   

 
@SkyDog Your compassion is much appreciated. Everyone else I have discussed this with always looks at me with one eyebrow raised and I can see they are thinking that I'm telling a lie and that I must be guilty. My doctor himself at first said I do not have any of the physical signs of a meth user but ultimately when he discussed it with his Superior I guess he got his mind changed. I will continue to update on what happens with this situation in hopes that it may benefit someone else at some time. That is if I survive!

  12. C @ Cheesus: Temp.pm down for anyone else?
  13. xenxra @ xenxra: @NYStateofMind my doctor's have always been pretty open minded if i can actually come in and explain the pharmacological action of the drugs im seeking instead of just telling them why i think i should be prescribed. the only time it didn't work out for me is when i was trying pharmaceuticals for depression ten years ago and suggested they let me try testosterone instead (turns out i was hypogonadal so they made a mistake denying my request at face value)
  14. T @ Testisthebest: Even down here in Florida when the pill mill docs all switched over to Suboxone and/or retired you can still find some pretty liberal docs but you gotta know what to look for. Mine does "pain management, detox, anxiety,etc. And no insurance. My doc writes me 60 5mg Valium, 14 2mg Xanax and asked if I had ever tried adderal to get more focus at work as I told him I run my own business.
  15. N @ NYStateofMind: @Alkazar do they know your history? Like I dont tell my doctor anything about myself except what they need to know,...I was able to get my dr to rx the highest dose of adderall along with valiums ..... if they dont know your history or there is no history I would just come out and ask what is the reason for their mistreatment.... they have no problem billing your insurance or taking a payment for the visit
  16. T @ Turbo259: @Layne_Cobain Thank you fam
  17. Alkazar @ Alkazar: It is INSANE how doctors treat tax paying hard working people like criminals when they ask for opioids. This world just keeps getting more and more backwards. But thanks to this site to be able to find people to help when no one in the medical world will.
