My doctor has prescribed 150mg of tramadol a day for arthitis and chonic neck pain?
I have been free of pain since I started taking it. The only thing I am worried about is my drug test at work. Can you tell me if tramadol will show up in a urine drug test, and if so what will it show up as?? Opiate???
Will tramadol test positive in a urine drug test as an opiate?

No it wont
Yes
Everyone's answer has left me more confused! Some say yes some say no! Who has a definite answer?
Where do you people get your information from. Tramadol will NOT show on a drug screen unless they are testing for it specifically. Again tramadol will NOT show up on a drug-screen unless they are testing for tramadol!!!
Take your prescription bottle or paperwork from your pharmacy or doctor to let your work know what kind of medication your taking
Agreed. I "passed" a drug test for a job before when I was on Vicodin. I brought the bottle in with me and self-reported. Never heard another word other than my start date.
Yes
Never showed up on my tests, and I was taking 600 mg a day.
Yes!!! This will show up... It will be a "weak" response to being positive for codeine
Never showed up on my tests, and I was taking 600 mg a day.
Had a 5 panel uds for a new job- it tested positive for opioids & pcp (never did illegal drugs ever!)
So they had to send it out- got called today by the medical review officer and was asked to list the prescribed meds that I was on- when I told them tramadol- she said "that's it" and asked for the prescription number and the pharmacy #. In Tennessee, Tramadol is a controlled substance.

i have herd more than once that is dose not BUT Iam not 100 percent.
well i know first hand cause my probation officr showed up at my home today and did a 5 panel drug screen and I told them I was gonna test positive for tramadol and they assured me it would not show up and I stood right there and watched them read it and no it did not show up
No they would have to do a special test I've been tested a few times for my job and they where always good
Hi, Tramadol will show up in a urine test if the test is checking for opiates. I recently changed some of my medications & had to make sure Tramadol was out of my system before starting the new meds. It still showed up 4 days after my last dose!

No, tramadol doesn’t show as an opioid on a basic urine test. They have to specifically be testing for it.
I had a drug test last year and passed it without any problem. At that time I was taking 400mg of tramadol per day. I guess it depends on the drug test panel. Make sure you list it before you take the test.
what kind of drug test did you take?
10 panel urine.
