Question 1

will 4mg of suboxone show up in urine test in 5 days?

Accepted Answer

It may: Buprenorphine is a very long-acting drug with equally long-acting metabolites.  However, it depends on exactly WHAT they are testing for.  Most screening tests look for standard opiates and buprenorphine does not show up on those tests. If they are doing more sophisticated testing, it may well show up - there are significant individual variations on how long any drug may be found.

Question 2

how can i get one 8 mg suboxone out of urine quickly. i am aware of the 5-6 days it usually takes. but i would rather it not show up in urine ?

Accepted Answer

No Magic: The best way to avoid showing buprenorphine/naloxone in your urine is wait the allotted time.  There is no magic chemical way to block its metabolites and it will show up in a screen.  Best advice--don't take a urine screen until after the waiting time.  Otherwise, do not take the drug.  If you have a problem, get into a program and get counseling.  Help is available.

Question 3

whats the longest suboxone can be detectable in urine with heavy use?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Depends on how to delivered and rate of individuals metabolism.  a guess might be a week or so.

Question 4

how long does it take for suboxone to test positive in urine after taking it. say i take suboxone at 1pm will it be in my urine by 2pm?

Accepted Answer

Suboxone: Suboxone is rapid onset - so yes it will be seen in the urine. Probably the metabolite will not. This could be a problem especially if you only take the Suboxone just before your appointments. If the urine shows no metabolite then the conclusion is that you are selling the units and taking one or two just before the urine test.

Question 5

is suboxone detected in urine tests?

Accepted Answer

Not routine: It is not tested for routinely on regular outpatient urine drug testing. If you are suboxone your doctor will check you randomly to make sure you are telling the truth.

Question 6

i heard that taking 0.5mg daily of suboxone is such a low dose that it is not detectable in urine drug tests. is this true?

Accepted Answer

Opiates: Suboxone is an opioid agonist antagonist and is 27% excreted by the kidneys.  So no matter what concentration is taken there is a chance of having a positive drug test.

Question 7

when can you test negative for suboxone in urine and blood test? my friend is very ill and fears that he won't be taken seriously and like an addict.

Accepted Answer

Not sure of ?: Unfortunately, all too many physicians and other health care providers have negative views of people with addiction, whether they are receiving treatment or not.  The doctor providing the suboxone can recommend colleagues who are more open-minded and should be consulted. Most common drug-screens do not include buprenorphine (the active drug). Blood tests aren't often used.

Question 8

how much time does it take for one 8mg strip of suboxone to not show up in your urine?

Accepted Answer

Testing: are you being specifically tested for buprenorphine? a standard urine drug panel will not test positive for use of buprenorphine. if they are tesing specifically for the buprenorphine it could take more than 5-6 days to exit your system. if its an employment drug test and they are doing a random screen, chances are that you won't test positive for opiates - assuming no use of other opiates.

Question 9

if i was taking suboxone everyday and my dose is 24 mg a day, is it normal for  it to show up in my urine 7 days after taking the last dose?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Buprenorphine is a long-acting drug, and both it, and its even longer acting metabolites, may remain in urine for weeks.  I don't imagine you are feeling very good if you just stopped 24 mg per day.  This is not generally a very good idea, and the likelihood of prolonged withdrawal symptoms and relapse to use of your prior opiate drugs is high.

Question 10

how long does it take suboxone to show up in your urine? if taken hour before a test, will it show up?  40 year old male, 160 pounds and 6'5. thanks!

Accepted Answer

Depends: Unfortunately, this answer depends on a lot of factors (eg, individual metabolism or exactly what test was ordered).  An hour before is too close to call ... Could go either way.
