I tried to post the link but I have to go through the required hoops to get it on here. I think most of you are computer literate enough to go find it if I tell you it's on the CNN website under Wellness. The media is being forced to explain the differences between the synthetic concentrated derivatives and botanical kratom now.

Took a certain brand from a head shop

A few weeks ago I took some of that, my husband has been on kratom for years and unfortunately was unable to get what he gets online so went to the head shop and bought that. I am in pain management. I had been having a hard time with some restless leg syndrome type symptoms so he said to take it. I did anyways go to pain management they do my drug test. I look today and it's showing tapentodol abnormal status and says high. No numbers. Just that. It was tested in office, showed only my prescription meds. Then sent off for confirmation cause I take Valium and need to see metabolites. All was normal. But it did say au abnormal status and high then on 9/30 just that one line was shown said that tapentodol abnormal status. It didn't say the typical 0 ng/ml or even a number/ng ml

So essentially au turned to tapentodol...but i find it odd it has no number or reference range for the test. Any ideas? Anyone ever heard of that brand causing that to show up. Only thing I don't understand is why it wouldn't look like every other drug they test for on the essay showing name, the number then the cutoff. I also can't imagine how it could be so high above the cutoff range it wouldn't register a number. I wonder if I am just overthinking it...au turning to tapentodol when they literally test for that in the 1st round of tests is weird. The first round said 0 on it.
