Does anyone know if propoxyphene will show up on a drug test for opiates?


Question:
Does anyone know if propoxyphene will show up on a drug test for opiates? I know drug test can test specifically for propoxyphene, but if the urine screen is for opiates only, will propoxyphene cause a positive for opiates?


Answer:
Believe it or not, Proproxyphene actually has it's own column/field on the drug tests I've seen -- it is directly identified, not lumped in with category of opiate. So, no, it doesn't just register as "opiate." Queer, eh?

I was taking it the night before I had a test, and I didn't get any trouble about it; it didn't show/they didn't ask/etc. Perhaps the drug testing policy of the particular company didn't care if it showed up and told the testers so. Who knows... Imagining someone maintaining an illegimate/illegal Darvon addiction is difficult
