Is Tramadol(Ol-tram) supposed to show positive for Methadone

[sanelb]

So whenever I take Oltram or Tamol XX (Over seas brand) and I decide to dip my urine with a drug screen, I test positive for Methadone. Anyone else have a similar experience? Or does Tramadol just show as a positive on a urine drug screen as methadone? I’ve never done or touched Methadone and don’t take any other drugs. But  I use Oltram to manage back pain, 100mg a day. And every so often I like to test myself on a urine drug screen and everything shows up negative except Methadone. Do these over the seas brand contain Methadone?

Also, does anyone know if regular Tramadol pops up positive as Methadone on a urine drug screen? I’ve used multiple different screening strips and they always pop positive for Methadone with the Oltram and Tamol XX brand.

Havent heard of trams popping for m3thad0ne, but i have heard them popping for PeeCP b4.  T@pentadol will pop for m3thad0ne with a lot of tests though.

If you want to know for sure, you should probably try testing the pills with reagents.  There are a few reagent tests that specifically test for Tramadol.  It will show as O-desmethyl tramadol which is the main active metabolite of tramadol.  Here's one from BunkPolice: https://bunkpolice.com/product/marquis-spot-test-kit/

OTC urinalysis testing isn't always 100% accurate which is usually why doctor's send drug screens to the lab for further analysis.

Just to clarify my previous comment, i was referring to giving a false positive on a test, not that they actually contained those substances. 

@Clarissa There are no reagents that will test for trams afaik.  You cant test for what something metabolizes into because it hasnt metabolized yet.  That would only happen after taking it.

@DoomKitty I took this screenshot from the BunkPolice website.  It shows it will test for a reaction to O-desmethyl tramadol (which I guess is the main ingredient).  I was going off the assumption that it's highly unlikely that tramadol metabolizes into methadone.

I find it highly unlikely that trans would pop for Methadone as it’s mentioned that they don’t metabolize into Methadone which is what the test would look for. But with dip tests things can be funky. Overseas it would be more likely trace amount of Methadone might be in the meds if they are processed in same facility. But I can’t say for 100% sure

@Clarissa  The metabolization happens in your body.  So the tramadol wont react the same as o-dsmt cuz it hasnt converted to it yet.  Same as co3ine, which metabolizes into morph in the body, but they react differently to reagents cuz the code hasnt changed yet.  Hope this makes sense

Tramadol tests negative in urine for methadone. I know. I get one every 2 weeks.
