Metabolite

Today I went to dose, at my wonderful methadone clinic. I had to do my reg. urine sample, and when it came back they told me I had metabolite in my system? Dose anyone no what the hell that means. My dose is only at 7mgs right now, do you think that has something to do with it? Thanks Cole

methadone metabolite is what the liver converts methadone into. Try this link for info:  http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15501692

first, congradulations on getting down to 7mgs
metabolites are the end product of something in your system being digested, did they tell you what the substance was, thats really a strange thing to tell you
are you sure they said metabolite, or was it metabolife, which is a diet pill?
ask your clinic "therapist" (i use that term lightly) to give you more info. on your lab
hell, clinics are so cheap, the actual test they use can be innacurate

did they tell you what the metabolite was from. (i.e. meth, narcs, etc)
In drug use, the term metabolite usually refers to the end product that remains after metabolism (of the drug).
I hope this helps.

Are you taking any antiboitics.
That will trigger a metabolite in your system.
