Your "5 Panel" test:
What Does A 5-Panel Drug Screen Test For?
A 5-panel drug test identifies metabolites in an individual’s system, which are chemicals that remain after your body metabolizes certain substances, such as food or drugs. They typically screen for metabolites linked to the following drug types:
Amphetamines, such as ecstasy, crystal meth, or Ritalin
Phencyclidine, also called PCP or angel dust
Cocaine and crack cocaine
Opiates, such heroin, oxycodone, or hydrocodone <--- major ones
Marijuana
Detection times:
Opiates:
Blood : up to 24 hours
Saliva : up to 4 days
Hair : up to 90 days
Again, tramadol will not appear on a standard pre-employment test—better known as a SAMHSA-5 panel drug test; however, it will appear on toxicology screenings designed specifically for detecting prescription drugs.
We know you fear the hair test....for OBVIOUS reasons. So your case of tramadol not being an opioid due to the 5 panel is bullshit. Its just that it is not tested for. I guess because testosterone isn't found on the 5-day test that its not a drug. Right? Sounds like hankins logic to me.
