Considerations needed
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for submitting your question to HCM.
If I understand correctly, you have a urinalysis lab test coming up soon and are concerned about the levels of certain substances in your blood. The sensitivity of these tests varies and there is no medically valid or medically endorsed way of manipulating these levels.
Products that claim to reduce or clear these levels are often not approved by the FDA and may be dangerous to your overall health. If this is not within the scope or the nature of your question, please do not hesitate to submit a follow up with further details to help clarify.
Chronic pain, anxiety and depression are understandably difficult conditions to monitor and you shouldn't have to suffer. A pain specialist might be able to help, as well as a psychiatrist or psychologist.
I highly suggest that you speak with your physician about modifying your current treatment plan if it is not working and if your only relief is smoking, especially if your smoking is deemed illegal by your local legislature or employer or poses any risk to you or others.
Again, you shouldn't have to suffer and I hope you can find medical therapies with your physician to help relieve your pain and other conditions.
Sincerely,
Dr Galamaga

The levels of these metabolites in your system cannot be altered except with time and refraining from using any substances.
I do not recommend ingestion of anything in the attempt to change the results. As suggested before, please speak with your physician to modify your current treatment regimen(s).
