False negative drug screen

I am taking a low dose of Percocet 5-325 3x's a day, for chronic back and neck pain from a MVA. The problem is that even though I take it the way I should, I have had 2 negative drug screens.  What can cause this. Please help.

I started on pain management just a few months ago and I have had negative test results every time I have been to the doctor.  He doesn't believe me when I say that I am taking the meds.  I have researched the medicine and there are tons of complaints about it. It's the new Watson 853 white hydrocodone 10/325.  It doesn't work.  It seems like a 5 mg hydro.  Last time I went I took two about 2 hours before I went to the doctor.  I don't get it.

I have SEVERAL health problems and I take a lot of meds: Citalopram, Gabapentin, Zopran, Phenergran, Bentyl, Amitriptiline, Trazadone, Dilantin, Wellbutrin, Topomax, Flonase,Protonix, Lipitor, and Coumadin

If you know that any of these meds are interfering, please advise.  Thank you for your help.

I have recurring Pulmonary Embolisms, Lupus, Migraines, Neuropathy, Spinal Arthritis, and Celiacs

DABPM means diplomate, American Board of Pain Medicine.

That "report" button shows up when you roll over a post. It allows users to report abuse posts, spam, etc.
