Question: Hi, I am taking pain medication for my chronic knee pain, in my case I'm worried about my test being clean. I take my medication , I take Vicodin and methadone, I'm not one that follow direction to the letter , so I miss some once in a while sometimes even 2 dose and I think that should be my choose to do as long as I don't do anything wrong , yet this is how I'm being made to feel , my Vicodin test came out clean saying I did not take any , and I have , I wAs so upset that my doctor of over 20 years ask me who was taking them.? I have been under a lot of stress and my doctor is retiring plus other things , until my doctor called to tell me this I realize I have not been taking my Vicodin for a few days , this has happen before but i never worry about it before until now .I usually just keep my extras for a while then get rid of them by destroying them, I have grandkids and no one in my family takes what I take so I don't need to hang on to them . Now he sent me to a pain clinic and they took a test also, I'm so worried it will come out clean again, and also worried they will measure my methadone , I never had to worry to make sure I take every single dose, I do take my medication and I don't want to keep asking for a different amount every month so, with these new rule on pain management , I get my refill and anything I have left from the month before gets destroyed , simple as that , I never count how many I have left , I try and take as prescribed but I sleep in late sometimes and I'm not working because my knees got worse so it just depends on how my day is going, so my question do I have anything to worry about? Will the test show I'm not taking exactly what I'm told to take . And I'm still upset that my test came out clean when I've been on Vicodin for years and I would think something should have been detected , I know you don't know me and it's only my word but I do take my meds , one would thing I would get I. Trouble if I took more the. I should and now I have to worry about taking every single pill. Plus my retired doctor told this to my new doctor and now I don't feel comfortable with this new doctor .
