Also... If you have to take that much Vicodin a day you need your medication changed anyway. You are taking to much Tylenol and doing harm to your liver. I had the same problem and had to be switched to Oxycontin 20mg. and Percocet 5/325.
The Percocet still has Tylenol in it but I don't need to take more than 2 a day which is way under 1 gram of acetomenophen a day. You are taking on average of 5 grams of Tylenol a day. That is toxic for you liver.
Oxycontin has gotten a bad rep because of idiots that crush it and stick in their veins or up their nose. But for chronic pain patients like us it is the best drug to keep you comfortable as long as you take it as directed.
Don't forget to hit me back. I will help you out. I am almost certain that one of those suppliments your taking masked the drug in your urine.
First I would like to tell you that I have had 4 Labral Reconstruction surgeriers as well as 3 other surgeries to repair tears in the cuff on both arms in the last 18 months so I know what kind of pain your in. I also have to get another MRI with Contrast this coming Thursday because the doctor believes I tore mine again as well.
I am a police officer and have a background on drug testing as we random drug test all the time. Your metabolisim may be fast but I don't think it is that fast. You were taking 50 to 70 mgs a day. So you should have been a hit on the urine but not so much the blood as you last dose was two days prior to that test.
These amino acids that you have been taking, whiloe I don't have time to look them up right now could have masked your urine.
How long was that you took those suppliments before your urine test? It can alter the test for anywhere between 5 to 10 hours.
Get back to me and I will check it out for you.
You can PM me if you like.

I posted in your original post:)
It is also my guess that your system metabolized the Vicodin quickly. Something should have remained in your system. As Molly said it will sometimes appear in a Urine Drug Screen as Morphine but it should not in a blood test.
I am sorry that you are in this situation. I know it doesn't help but others have had this happen to them also. It seems to be an unexplainable phenomenon.
Why on earth would they think you are selling? Most likely because there are so many that so sell. I know no body. I rarely go out of the house yet even I know of ppl that know someone that knows someone and so on. Drug abuse is rampant in our country and CP sufferers are continually and microscopically scrutinized.
I hope you will find a solution. I know the military conducts business differently than the civilian world. Good luck to you. I'll look forward to your updates. Tuck
It would show up as morphine. I cannot figure why yours would show nothing. I feel that 3 days will show nothing so maybe your system did metabolize sooner
mollyrae i was give the blood test 2 days after my last dose,, what happens if it metabolizes to morphine? does that mean its possible the vicoden would not show up? i just need to clear my name because i have never been accused of something like this befor and even though my doctors are being supportive and are trying to find the next route to figure out what went wrong it is still my name and pride on the line,, any other ideas?
Hi:
It all depends on when you took your last Vicodin. A blood test is the ultimate test to detect the Vicodin. I'm suprised that they sisn't find any if you had taken it in the last 24 hrs.
I have heard of Vicodan metabolizing to Morphine but not for it to be totally absent when and if you were taking it.
Take care,
Molly
