Will Taking Oxycodone Affect The Drug Screen Test?

Hello Doctors, I took five 5mg oxycodones throughout the day yesterday, and today had a pain management appoint today. They did a drug screen today I m worried about the results, because it was not prescribed to me. I had my last test come back for that, and I let the doctor know that. I have been under pain m. for 20 years, and have never had one come back for anything other than what I was prescribed. I have chronic pain, and Lupus I have lost 75lbs . I use to weigh 375 now I m 270lbs I m 5 11 I drank a whole lot of water about two-gallons. My regular meds are methadone, and hydrocodone. Could you please let me know

nope, if they are at all competent, it will be detected. While the simple dipstick method cannot reliably differentiate different narcotics and indeed might not even show oxycodone (it is set up for HEROIN mainly), the ones they are likely to use are set up to differentiate oxycodone, versus, heroin, versus hydrocodone and will easily be sensitive enough to detect 25 mg the day before.
