oxycontin is an opiate (derived from the opium plant). morphine is an opiate as well. the test that you took may not be sensitive enough to distinguish between these two opioid compounds. i have read in other sites that these 2 medications have the same properties. oxy often shows up as morphine. i am very lucky that my dr. told me that the test that they are made to do in the dr. office are often incorrect. if my dr. is knows the patient well he will not dismiss someone based on the urine test. these often show up as other drugs. good luck.
i was in a accident and now in pain mgmt. i get oxy 10s & was tested positive for morphine! never used. how/why in urine. my motorcycle accident killed my friend and i was in hospital for 8 months. i had 2 urine tests and it shows positive for morphine. how can this be in my system if i am not & never had used morphine/heroin! i am prescribed oxy 10's and take clonazepam adderall keppra melozicam. how is this showing on my urine test? this will ruin my life if positive & will not be allowed to continue pain management. please someone help me & answer. thx - jenna
