? about PM urine test after DT'ing off fent and smoking a little pot (

I have been having a rough time coming off 125mcg Fent and 2 mg Klonopin, along with other meds. It has been 13 days now, but I did take a couple of hits of pot about 10 days ago in the thrawls of DT's. I really regret it, but at the time I felt I was about to lose it. All i did was take 2 hits one night, to try and sleep. I did smoke pretty regular back until the end of last year. I go to a new PM doctor in one day, and I know they will urine screen me. Should I be worried about failing? Should I just fess up on the front end? I don't want to screw this up, although I may have already.

Don't worry about the pot.  Just stay hydrated and you'll be fine.  I started smoking it a few days ago to help with the WDs.  It really was a lifesaver.  I wish it were legal here.  I would use it instead of narcotics.

I am not getting back on the Fentanyl, that will not happen for a very long time(years) and only as a last resort. I do believe in PM, and feel that I do need to get back on something for my chronic pain with my feet, back and neck. I hope there will be something they may be able to do beyond injections in my back or trigger point in my feet(those really hurt more than the foot pain).
I am not sure what I should take, as I have said in other posts, I have another 30 or 40yrs here and want to enjoy and remember them. Coming off the Fent, I am amazed at how foggy my memory is of the last 6yrs.
I at one time did have an option of amputation, but my orthopedic told me in JAn. that would not eliminate my pain since it has been chronic for so long, I would just have no foot and still have phantom pain. Hopefully, medical sciance wil be able to do something in the future. Until then, I will have to manage my pain best I can, I will make sure I do my research from now on before getting dependent on something.
I will give some thought to the honesty thing with the Doc. I just don't want to give the wrong impression. Maybe they will be understanding with me coming off all the meds cold turkey.
Oh, today has been a little rough, chills, agitation, depression, ANXIETY. I have been trying not to think about my ex, but it has been very hard. I sent her pretty cold text friday night after she sent me a dear john text, then felt bad today and sent her another text, saying 2 wrongs don't make a right, if you love something set it free... Allt his crap has just hit me at the same time. I know I am getting anxious about the appt, and have to keep calming down my breathing and BP.  I will be ok, I have made it this far :)

I agree just be honest. Most likely they will not drug test you the first time always. Not until you have a contract with them I believe. So they may in future visits but I wouldn't worry about this one. Good luck let us know how it goes
