Lortab and Vicodin have the same narcotic, dosing may be different, but it's the same drug.

@Tina - till will be ok. With that many days in between, his test will not show it. I noticed a lot get scared about taking these meds even when they are prescribed to them. To give you a load of confidence and yo ease others who read this, as long as you have been prescribed for it, you should be fine. Even if the bottle was expired. As long as it originated to the one that takes it.
I have been on hydro 10/500, oxycodone, soma, tizanadine, naproxen(which is just aleve basically), amitriptyline, and fenytnal the past 5 years. I have had federal government jobs and work at a major hospital as part of their IS Dept. Both were really strict in their hiring process. Both are critical and supervise on their drug test. I pass easily with both, but always told them or made them aware of my condition. And if I was capable and able to control my mental state and work with no issues. Then I am acceptable without any type of dicrimatory issues.
Now for this who do take it with no prescription and illegally. I don't judge you, and do understand your situation if your concerned. The withdrawal effects of any of my drugs that are out. Even a day, are horrible. Lucky for those who take it once in a while. To be dependent due to real actual pain, is sometimes pure hell! But my condition wasn't something I was born with. It was caused by carelessness of another driver on the road. Try to live with a pacemaker implant and still deal with chronic pain with no job and no health issuance! Lol, i dont proclaim I am an expert on this stuff. All I can share is my experiences. Take care everyone. And hope my little info helps.

Drink a lot of Gadorade or powerade. They contain Niacin. Also vitamins that any test likes to see. You can go buy Niacin at your local drug store or GNC. Look it up on google too! Just a recommendation. ;)

I have a question? I am prescribed 7.5 loratab through my PM doctor. I have an appointment tomorrow but my pain was horrible this month and I ran out four days ago. How do I explain why I don't have any in my system or do you think my Dr will kick me out of the clinic?

My friend, it seems youve got a good plan of a attack or a head start! Keep drinking the powerades etc. That should hold you off fine! I have taken some INTENSIVE drug test due to previous jobs. And also take occasional ones for my continuing prescribed but insane amount off pain meds, sleep meds, wake up meds, irritated stomach from meds, etc!! And I still get asked if I am actually taking any of them!! It's probably due that I drink Dr. Pepper like it was air! Lmfao I think I down min 4 1 liter bottles a day. But can't gain weight worth of crap! Still way between 150-165lbs. I am also 5'10". Not really tall. But I say average. Just letting anyone know what my stats are. Not a bean pole by no means. Just a long torso short legged. Lol

Also, I like to thank anyone for asking me for my advice! I do not acclaim I am an expert by any means. And I have been there were many of you are worried about now. After learning more about how much I was taking and that I was getting away with or say passing the screenings with "exceptions" of the rules. I thought since I was taking some of these major drug screens since I am monitored due to my pain pacemaker. I would see how a person that would take even a fraction of what I take would pass a drug test. And found many ways to mess with the tests. Not on purpose. I do nothing illegal. I just always been a good sources amongs friends I know that actually do them illegally. And give them advice how to pass that test. Now.... It doesn't mean I have advice if you actually take marijuana or heroine. That's on you. But use my info wisely. Thus far, I have yet have one person I know, even in a worse case senario, not pass their drug test. So, do your research folks! Just google it. But if it makes you feel more clear talking or texting me. I'll try to give you the best support I can! Be well my friends! As my life I live with horrible chronic pain. And it gets harder and harder for people like me to get properly treated, due to the malpractices that some doctors create for not properly prescribing patients the right meds. I find it extremely ironic, that in my youth.. I abused... And that an actual incident that left me sow what disabled. I now have depend on this stuff that is also slowly killing me... Karma can be a real b**** at times! ;)

Where there is love..... There is pain....

Thank you for saying what I have for years, I am so sick of the people that abuse the right to have pain management so that people that are actually in pain (and take it exactly as prescribed, and do not sell it), have to feel like an addict because of the hoops we go through every single month! It is about time that the people who abide by the system stand up and tell the people that ruin it for us....

I would like to share my story so that maybe just maybe it might help anyone that may be in a simlar situation. I have a herniated disk in my neck that causes me to have very intense pain. I go to the spine center for pain managment and I am prescribed oxycodone. I try my best to only take the dose that is prescribed but sometimes the pain gets the best of me and I take more than I should. So here goes with my long story. Last month I ran out of my medicine like 10 days early. I saved one 30 mg oxycotin because I knew it was time for me to have a drug screen. Well I was in a lot of pain and a friend gave me 24 7.5 hydrocodone on a Tuesday and I took 6 on Tuesday 8 on wed. 8 on Thursday and 2 on Friday morning. Then I had nothing on sat. Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Then on wed. at noon I took the 30 mg. that I saved. The very next morning on Thursday at 9:45 they gave me a urine test. I worried myself sick for a month. I worried that 6 days wasn't enough time to get so many pills out of my urine and also I worried that maybe the 30mg I took 22 hour before my test maybe wouldn't show up. It was an awful worry. But thankfully I passed my test. And the test they give is a very expensive test. So I can say to anyone worried that 6 days is enough time to clear the urine if opiates and that in 24 hours opiates will still show up. I hope my story will help anyone in a similar situation.

@ Melinda- What's the time when you took it between when you were tested? And I know this might sound weird, but when you woke up, did you use the bathroom before going to take the test? Reason is for those who hold it all before a test. This is a no no! Your first initial morning pee is usually the more strongest or say potent. It's even thing that's been expelled while your asleep. Jet advice for some, do your business when you wake up. And if your scheduled to take a test.. Go buy done Gatorade or Poweraid. Drinking water can make the test come out inconclusive. For those who do a lot but don't have prescription. Go to your fitness shop or Kroger or Dillions. Buy a bottle of Niacin. (sorry if my spelling sucks) depending how long your notice that you have to take a drug test.
Here's one of my personal experience. Before my accident, I use to smoke pot a lot. Wasn't a stupid kid, some grown ups know what I am talkin about! Lol but I had a new job but had three days till I was suppose to take the drug test. I bought niacin, took it three time each day and drank poweraid. I passed my test! And they even told me that it was the cleanest test they had seen.. Which honestly sounded weird to hear! Anyways, that's my two cents. Lol

@MR learnthefacts..
First off.. He or she gave no false hopes. He or she never said "THIS WILL WORK 100%" The person seemed to always promote people to LEARNTHEFACTS. Lol sorry, I just had to do that!

Yes, your right. hydro and Oxy have 15 different makes up. Both Hydrocodone and Oxycodone are narcotics, opiates, and opioids. Technically speaking, hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid derived from codeine and/or thebaine (two naturally occurring opiates), while oxycodone is yet another semi-synthetic opioid derived from thebaine. The term narcotic originally referred to opiates (morphine, diamorphine-heroin, and codeine), but is now used more loosely to define all DEA controlled substances. All opioids are opiates, but not all opioids are technically opiates. For example, most semi-synthetic opioids are derived from either morphine or codeine; both of which are pure opiates. Examples being both hydrocodone and oxycodone, and meperidine (Demerol). Then you have methadone and fentanyl, neither of which are true opiates, but nonetheless they are each synthetic opioid agonists; with there chemical make up each created from an opiate structure. Tramadol is another example; being a synthetic analogue of codeine.

Like you, I agree they are opiates. People, I make mistakes. We all make mistakes. There are only a few posts on here. That try to help to give comfort. But be imformative. Do the research. Those who come on here to "cry or call for help" need someone to listen to. I I have plenty of friends and family I know of that have abused or actually take their prescribed meds like they should.
No one wants to hear a negative approach in response to their questions. Have someone ever came back and say, "hey you dude! You lied!" I just read through and didn't see any.

Lets not be so negative. This forum or bulletin allows us to share experiences and ask questions. It's cool if your job is being a Doctor, nurse, pharmacist, etc.. But try to put yourselves in some of these people's shoes.

A rough way I compare this is being a male gynecologist. How can a male doctor be really that understanding than any female? Or a female proctologist!
Ok I am drifting off topic there. Lmfao!
Lets learn,advise, and help. Stop pointing fingers at people or calling them out. And it doesn't look like he or she had responded a while anyways.

So... I actually do have a question. What's the benefit of a doctor prescribing Fentanyl instead of basic opiates? Cause after an operation I had on my back. They gave me a prescription for 25microns. And for three days.. I'll tell ya.. I feel great. But when I am off. I feel like death! Lmfal

I hate the fact that anyone has pain! Yes It would be ideal if everyone had a script but sometimes that is not possible for whatever reason. I have been a pain patient since 2007 and my heart goes out to anyone who has pain. My doctor gives me kadian extended release caps ( morphine sulfate) 30 mg every 12 hours and liquid morphine 30 mg short acting dose 3 to 4 times a day as needed. I want to thank everyone for the advice but mainly because we are a community and we understand pain and sometimes in our life we may not have people who understand pain and everyone here knows and understands pain. Thanks and may you all have more pain free days than pain days.

Uhmm if it's just half and it's the only dosage that your taking that day. It won't even effect the test! Trust me, I don't even freak outm cause I take hydro four times a day along with a few other pain Mede and still pass my drug tests. Recently they questioned me whether I take my meds cause the test showed no trace of any narcotics. I just laughed and say wow!
