Can they test the milligrams of suboxone

[mcray]

in your urine? Or just whether it is present or not? Or how present it is, but not milligrams?

[ready2help]

to my knowledge, suboxone is not detectable in the usual urine toxscreen. I would guess that there is a way to test for it specifically in blood/urine? However - it probably costs big bucks so I don't believe they would do it. He may be saying this to try to keep you accountable. Good luck.

LOL....I agree....now mcray, Maybe he would make u go in and bring your pills, and count them....But to say to test and see how many milligrams is in your system is just nuts!!!

Yey....does sound kinda strange to me for a doctor to tell u that...he kinda sounds like a tyrant!  LOL

Because I got prescribed suboxone and the doc told me he would test to see exactly how many mg of suboxone was in my system. I thought it sounded like ********.
He is allowed to call me at any time and make me take a random urine test. That's unreal, but I have to comply because I need the subs.

There is no test that can test for exact amounts that someone took orally...it can be a high level or a low level but everyone's metabolism is different and lots of things affect urine content such as kidney function , water intake etc...why?

[mcray]

No, sorry. I meant, can my doctor who prescribes me suboxone test for the actual milligram count of suboxone in my system? Or just see if it's present?

Suboxone does not show up on a typical urine test. I think they would have to do a special test for it to show up.
