Afrin (nasal spray) and its generics make you positive for speed/meth

Prevacid and other like antacids make you test positive for weed.

I used to have randoms urine teats all of the time and if i tested positive for these, i printed up the info from the mayo site and presented it to my boss. I have never used speed but i smoke every day and this info has come in real helpful for me.

 
Wonder if Tagamet also could do that - it would be great for it to have a "double purpose" (also theoretically a potentiator of SOME opiates) LOL. Anyway, thanks for the info!

 
Hi @Catinthehat,

Thanks!  Great info.  I use Afrin during allergy season and in my line of work this could be a real problem if I came in positive.

Regards,

PR

 
Welcome. Thats when i use it too. I am lucky i had an understanding boss.

 
My Gf is hooked on Afrin, if she doesn't have it. her nasal passages go into over drive. I never figured a nasal spray could be such a serious habit. I'll loook into the Tagamet. Thxs Opiated-

 
Afrin should be scheduled. I am totally strung out on it now from having a cold. Hooked... Thanks Cat great info.

Good info CH. I'll be taking a p test sometime in the future for a new job when I get it.

 
This may sound dumb....  but if you take prescribed trams then take an old vic that was laying around, will that affect a UA?

 
Tramadol will NOT show up on a standard urine panel - not sure about Vic.

I'm not an expert in drug testing but we all know about half life. If you were to take one pill it would probably be out of your system in 3-4 days for drug testing. It's just when we start taking something regularly or more than is required is when it takes longer to clear your system.

If you used Vicodin for months it would probably show up for at least a week or two. But one and done and it clears your system much more quickly. I am just giving my opinion. There are some fairly accurate home testing kits you can buy. I actually tried to prove if they were accurate and they seemed to be.

One time I took a few Vicodin for a couple of days and a few days before that I took a Percocet. Now remember one is an opiate and the other is an opioid. So I took two different at home test about a week after the Vicodin but at least a week plus a couple of days for the Percocet.

The at home test showed negative for the perc but positive for the vic. Now the vic probably should have been negative too even though it was longer than 3 or 4 days according to half life  but  since I took the vics for a few days in a row that probably caused the clearing period to be extended slightly.

Again this is just my opinion. Please do your own research too.

HB, I'm exposing my ignorance a bit here, but after 6 years I never knew there was a difference between opiate & opioid.  Perhaps that's why I prefer one over the other?  No testing for me, thank God, but I had to ask that question.  Can you touch upon that difference a bit more?  I would appreciate it /default_smile.png

Nope...Not unless they test for it specifically...I prefer fake urine..It settles all the problems with drug tests! /default_cool.png

 
I was on long term perc treatment prior to a back surgery. I took ONE sub 8 days before a test, just one to try it and I tested positive for it. Couldn't believe it. 8 days. Don't know if it was because I had been on percs for 2 years (I know the 2 drugs aren't the same) but maybe my body hung on to them longer I don't know but I was dropped that day because of it by my pm doc. There was no excuse for sub in my urine. I'll never take one again. I wish I knew a way to just clear the amount in my system. My levels may be higher than they should be. My new doc has mentioned it. I'm not off the hook crazy but a few extra here and there. **Anyone know a way to get it out of your system faster. Water, vitamins etc ??**

Side note, most of the docs in maryland have full panel ruined now. The one I'm at now has things like lyrica, Bp meds and tram, etc. The last 3 docs had full page tests. And these tests cost me $80 more a month out of pocket. Doc said Maryland has some strict rules and most legit pm docs test and differentiate for everything. What do they care, they pass the extra cost onto the patient

In the U.K, the term opiods has been used for some 10 years now. Opiates was the term before that but they are both one and the same here. I know because I asked and not just one person. I also avidly read the doctors prescribing guide the BNF and MIMMS. Both are available if you look.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢

  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
