Urine test at pain management

[safesinger]

I have been seeing my pain management Dr. for almost 4 years.
Was previously at the methadone clinic for 5 years before seeing my phsycian aka: Pain mgmnt.
Anyhow I go bi-monthly in December they gave me a urine test. The only things I took was my Methadone which they prescribe me and 3-4 days back took a 30mg roxy and a 1mg xanex which is not prescribed to me.
So took the oxy on Thursday & the Xanex on Friday or Saturday and my urine test at the pain management was the following Monday.

After all the years i've always seen my Dr. well yesterday I get a call saying that my appt was pushed up to 2 instead of 1:30 and I would be seeing the Physicians Assistant.
Am I introuble? I've been taking Metadone on a regular basis for well over 9 years and if they cut me i'm in a lot of trouble:(

I've heard nighmares from others saying that when they were going to a pain management clinic that the Dr never discharges them it's always the PA or by mail.

I won't know until Friday.
Got a call yesterday that I would not be seeing my Dr and would be seeing his PA. Instead of going in at 1:30 they pushed me to 2 instead.
In all the years i've been going i've never seen the PA at all.
This is what concerns me.

Was reading your thread, just wondered how you made out? Xanax does not stay in ur system long, I am prescribed it & even though I take it 3x day per prescribed it occasionally does not show in my drug screen. Hope this helps

Hi,

First I want to welcome you to the Pain Management Forum and let you know that we are glad you found this Forum. I want to let you know that there are NO Doctors on this Forum only CP - Chronic Pain - Patients that help each other with our OWN expertise and experiences that we have developed through our OWN CP Issues.

I wanted to say that MY Pm Doctor has so many patients now that they have changed it to where I see him 1 month and then I see the PA the NEXT 2 months. In your case it could be something as simple as the Doctor MAY have some reason than he can't be there at the time of your appointment and thy thought the PA could handle your meds for you this month. I KNOW that MANY people on here SELDOM see their PM Doctor's and almost ALWAYS see the PA's instead.

That said, what you are doing is VERY dangerous and IF you did fail the UA then you will VERY possibly be dismissed. IF you aren't, I HOPE that you will STOP taking meds that AREN'T prescribed as that is a formula for disaster.  I would HATE to see you lose your one connection to what is helping you and I hope that you have learned from this.

I wish you the very best and hopefully you will keep us updated as to how your appointment goes today.  Am I reading it correctly that your appointment IS today?

We will be looking for your update...........Sherry
