How Long Does Hydrocodone Stay In Your System (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Hello, how long does Hydrocodone stay in the urine? I have a prescription for 10 mg - 650 mg Oxycodone/APAP. I took 1/8 of one pill due to pain I had in my back. Twenty hours later I had a random drug test by my company. Will it still be detected? Thank you.

Hydrocodone half life is 3.8 hours. Cut the amount taken in half after 3.8, cut it in half again in 3.8 and so on and so on, make it 4 hours it will be easier. Usually after 4 days is good, "usually".

@Jammie, I have never ran into any bad experience having none, in my system, I only showed traces, amounts not usually considered for a positive in court or workplaces. Also been clean, never was brought up. You will probably show up negative for hydrocodone, so, you had a bad first weeks of the 30 days and needed to take more, then back to your regular dosage, and ran out a few days early, and get scolded for not taking them as directed. Not a bad scenario, always save one for the night before or that day, don't always show up negative on your screens. You didn't say how you were going to mimic traces of hydrocodone, hydrocodone is a ketone of codeine. ( a group of hydroyl, in codeine replaced with a group carbon 14) Codeine will show up as morphine, as it metabolizes 10% into morphine, that's why they want to know your prescriptions you are taking. Leave out codeine or don't have a script it will show up morphine. Some opiates show metabolites of others. EX. Opana (oyxmorphone),has one main metabolite the same as one of Oxycodone, but not reversed. Oxycodone, has more metabolites. I'd rather be clean of your script, than try mimicking hydrocodone. All these codone's originate from codeine an opiate, and with one group and replaced with another is all the change in the chemical make up, as the reason they are called semi synthetic. Fentanyl is a pure synthetic opiate. Morphine a pure opiate, but Fentanyl is stronger. Jammie, don't cry over spilled milk. You will know in a month, and I believe you have nothing to fear, except fear it's self.

Pertaining to the last post last sentence. Another reason they all have names that end with "one" , one group of the chemical make up changed.

I took two 5 mg vicodin on 9/26/12. I have not taken any since then and the last time I took any prior was Friday 9/21/2012 and that was also two 5 mg. How long will it take for them to clear in my urine.

I hear you. I was given Tramadol and that is the most useless pain reliever on the market. The drug companies make the opioids for next to nothing and sell them for exorbitant prices. Why can't they solve this? Loss of profit.

Hydrocodone can be out of your system in 6 hrs and even if as needed then.you should have some left and have been willing to show them to your dr and he woild have been fine but with none in your styatem and you being out your taking yo much our giving them away people assume they will be in there system for at lesst a day not trur only 6 hrs. I told my dr i had not taken mine that day he said there was nonreason to test last time i went i showed him how nany i had left he was satisfied i go pain managment been going 4 years

After five years of being on hydrocodone, my question is, after prolonged use, how long does it take for the medication to leave my body?

Re: coloradoan (# 4)

That's happened to me also. I took 1 Norco 325/10 at 8-00AM & my appointment was at 400PM... I didn't pass so I don't think it stays in your system for some people that long. Any answers to this since it implys a different story of what a say?

I took 2 10s around 3 pm and passed a test by 10 pm. I've also taken them for weeks about 4 10s or more a day and passed before 24 hours. Everyone's different I guess but Wal-Mart has $20 tests if your unsure or scared grab one and test before you go

My doctor is who, workmans comp injury, and i have resolved it. but I am a little confused, since it is take as needed for pain, and I have not gone more then a day without them. I do hate taking them, but If I dont, I suffer. I have tried other pain remedys, but they either make my ears ring, and my blood pressure skyrocket, and they make me dizzy, so I take these, even though occasionally they make me sick, It is still not as bad as the other.l
