negative result despite taking meds and patch was currently on

I was on oxycodone 5mg and a fentanyl patch 12 mcg per hour my doc had me give a urine sample which i could have refused but thought I had nothing to hide.  2 weeks later I went in and he told me that my results were negative for both meds and my anxiety med that I take 1-3 times daily he said he had to discharge me. i begged him to give me another test and showed him that I had my patch on. they let me give another urine sample which again was negative.  they said they could not prescribe me any more but did find a place that would take blood for a serum drug test.  what withdrawls symptoms will occur  and why would they not show up in my urine.  after 7 years I finally found the right meds that did not make me sick and now they are taken away.  I understand on their end why they can't but I don't understand the negative results. any ideas why this happened or any one who has experianced this would help.

I am having the same issue with my 10-325 Percocet not showing up in my is. My PM Dr says I need to have genetic testing done to see if I have enzymes that cause this. Is this a possibility? My ua's only show metabolites and not the drug this is why he is going to stop the scripts.  After 5yrs of being told nothing is wrong and then Dr realizing there is this is unbelievable. PM Dr told me he would send me back to the chiropractor, physical therapy, and give me a RX for muscle relaxes.

Molly, I also need the journal location. My wife has false negative results in drug testing. We know for certain she is taking hydrocodone on a regular basis everyday. Her doctor appaers to imply , because of negative drug tests, she may be selling!! My wife is and has been disabled for many years due osteoporosis, diverticulosis, IBS, stenosis, arthritus, asthma, degenerating cartlidge in knees,sleep apnea, etc.. Actually the prescription for the Hydrocodone says take every 6 to 8 hrs. She cannot take that often as it basically knocks her out.. She takes instead one time per day before bedtime. The strength is 5.350 mg....Why is the drug test negative when she is taking her meds. Please help!!!!!!
