Suboxone in urine : You mentioned you took 4mg (I'm assuming it's 4mg) Suboxone for two days, Sunday and Monday, and want to know if it will be detected on a pain docs drug screen thu. The answer is it might. But if it was prescribed to you, all you need to do is show your doc the prescriptions bottles made out to you -- or depending on the state ur in, the doc will see it in the PMP. Tell all new docs all of ur meds

Best lie: the truth: Suboxone has two ingredients: Naloxone and buprenorphine. The Naloxone will not be in your urine days later. The Buprenorphine will likely not be there; in any case, it has to be looked for specifically in the urine test. Always best to simply be truthful with your doctor.

Suboxone half life: The elimination half-life of Suboxone is 36 hours. It takes approximately 6 half lives for a drug to be eliminated from your system. 36*6/24= 9 days. The Suboxone will stay in your system for about 9 days.
