I dont think they can tell the difference but they might be able to measure the amounts of the drug in your system.
I think the drug testing is to make sure you are taking them and not selling them or taking other drugs like street drugs heroin etc. I never had to have a drug test or even sign a contract with my PM. I am on the OXY IR..Percocet combo perscribed by my PM and its working pretty good. I wish you the best of luck getting relief.

Autumn Angel,
Thank you for the information, and the well wishing. I think you are right about the testing to see if you are taking "street drugs". That, I am not worried about, since I dont take that stuff, ie heroin, pot, cocaine, etc. I guess some would consider the Oxycontin that I take a street drug, since I dont have a script for it yet. I a fourtunate in that I can buy it from a long time friend who has a prescription for it but cant take it because it upsets his stoumach too much. Atleast I know its safe and straight off the pharmacies shelf; and hasnt been "cut" like alot of illegal street drugs are.Do you have any idea how long Oxycontin or Percocet stays in your system? I guess they do a urine drug test, rather than a blood test. I read somewhere on the net that 3 to 5 days is the time frame that oxycondone; in whatever form, shows up in urine. Thanks again for your reply, and I am glad that your medicine is helping you with your pain.

Autumn,s right,they want to see what else you may be taking other than prescribed meds.There won,t be any difference in the Perc and Oxy,other than it will show that you,re taking 2 or3 times more than you,re supposed to be.You,ll need to taper down back to what the doc has you on before you go.I can find out how long the extra Oxy will stay in your blood on another Forum.I,ll try to get an answer for you by tomorrow.

J. Beanstalk,
Thanks for the help. I will taper back, and take just the Percocet before I go, I just need a realastic idea as to how long the "extra meds" would continue to show up. I can do 5 days, I hope, but not much more. Thanks again, and please let me know what you find out about the blood test.
