Suggest Dosage For Hydrocodone, Xanax And Elavil
Question: I use a laxative frequently because of Elavil and opioids for pain. I really need one now because I am so uncomfortable. In 2 days I will have urine drug screening and I don't want to endanger thr creatinine number . I take one 7.5-325 mg Hydrocodone daily and one
1 and 1/2 mg Xanax daily. I take precisely the correct dosage but am aware that people hydrate before test to cleanse to hide what they take. And the testing will catch on to that. I just want to do the right thing.

Brief Answer:
ok.. several first things to try.
Detailed Answer:
There are narcotic blockers for opioid induced constipation. MOVANTIK and RELISTOR. They are not likely to do anything to a urine test. Other laxatives make the system more abnormal and have issues on whether they are good for you, BUT they also won't interact with any urine testing.
If you are prescribed medicines, then that won't affect the drug test if you have me online. For example, oxycodone is not picked up by urine tests for heroin or "opiates" and this gives a reading looking like you are selling and not using them. Observe taking of the medicine, and peeing 6 hrs later will confrim to any skeptic, the test doesn't pick it up. People taking Codeine takers will have morphine in urine. It is broken down to morphine by the liver (and brain). There's a lot of these. Regular doctors are untrained on interpretation.
So, ways to treat constipation outlined. Your medicines will show in a urine test. They are likely to give a lot of information on the drug test that needs interpretation, BUT having drugs that you ARE SUPPOSED TO TAKE be in the urine test is far better than having them NOT SHOW UP. I think that covers all the questions currently. BUT I will be around for follow ups.
