    Alright, so...

    For the past week or so, I've been taking a lot of oxycodone (pure stuff, no APAP or anything else), snorting it and taking it orally. Just the other day, I snorted 15 mg of oxycodone in the morning then went to school. Unforunately, I was randomly selected for drug testing.

    Wooo me.

    They used saliva testing, with a little cotton-sponge stick thing that goes under your tongue and when enough saliva is absorbed, the end of the stick turns blue.

    I've been reading a lot on oxycodone and drug testing, and most sites say that it's not detectable in standard NIDA/SAMHSA drug tests and is rarely tested for in extended tests, too. Others say that is cross reacts with morphine and will show up as a positive for opiates on standard drug tests. I know there are oxycodone specific tests out there, but I just want to know if the oxy will show up on the test that I took, or am I safe?

    The only information we are given is that the test will screen for up to 10 substances and their metabolites.

    Up to 10 substances? I could bet hydrocodone and oxycodone are in there. They both produce morphine as a minor metabolite. If you've done enough, there will be enough morphine for a standard test to find that's not even looking for oxycodone specifically. I would be worried to be honest, but I'm not entirely sure on this.

    Alright...
    Do you think if I took about 15 mg every other day for about a week and a half beforehand, that could leave enough morphine in my body?

    I've got about two more days until I get my results and I'm extreeeemely nervous...
