Urine tests

Does Klonopin show up differently in a urine test than Xanax? I Know, it'll show as a benzo...but then it is sent to a lab, what happens then? Do they show up differently?

Hi there...it depends on what test is being ordered. If you are referring to an employment type screen, they use a basic test that will look for the presence of more common benzos.  Various benzos follow different metabolic pathways, therefore if a certain drug was being tested for, a more specific lab test would be ordered.

Hope that helps some.

I wondered that, and also different types of opiates such as t3/or hydro codiene and percaset..do they show differentlly on tests? if sent to A parole officers' labe? My friend uses alot of these because of a job related injury...sometimes he needs more  or less and he says his PO is counting his perscriptions!! If he replaced them will he get in trouble? It would be a shame, he's a good kid.
