Take good advice-avoid opiates altogether. They can kill you. Young people are dying and becoming vegatables because of this crap.

If you haven't been taking it everyday, for a long period of time it should be gone in a few days. Find a test at the drug store before having some1 else test you.

I don't know where these people get their information. I could go into this long explanation of the half life of a pill times 5, but I don't want to confuse anyone. Just remember this, the basic rule of thumb is 60 to 72 hours on everything, with the exception of methadone and marajuana. Methadone is about 6 days. So give yourself 7 days to be safe. Marajuana is anywhere from 3 days to 30, depending on the amount you use and if you are a regular user. For everything else, legal or illegal, you should be safe after 4 days, give yourself 5 days to be sure, don't mess with your freedom or your dr.'s appointment ! Water or any liquid will help flush your system, but don't drink a lot on the day of your test or it may dilute it and they will think your trying to hide something and fail you. Also be aware of of the detox juices, as most of them contain creatin, which most places test for. Probation will most likely fail you if you have creatin in your urine, or your urine is too dilute. So in short 72 hours minimum boys and girls!

Please! do NOT take this drug! Unless it is prescribed by a DR.
I am speaking from experience. Last July, they cut me off because I tested hot for weed. After 24 yrs on it, I went thru hell. Until, I found after months there was no relief. No sleep for weeks and no help from medical, until I began to lie and manipulate them to get my stuff. I am addicted and I don't want to be, but, have little choice! If you do not need it-AVOID opiates. Better to have some discomfort as opposed to a lifetime of "where are my meds" and going nuts when there are none.

You shouldn't tell them that. Xanax saved my life. My anxiety and panic attacks were so severe that I was a recluse, shut up in my room with the room darkened rocking and crying cause its like no other hell on earth you could imagine. I finally ended up in the ER 220/180 was my BP and they'd yelled crash cart stat. Gave me a 3mg shot of Ativan prescribed me 1mg Xanax 3 times a day and for the first time in MONTHS I slept. I slept for 2 days. Then the third day. I was able to leave my room no attacks. As I sit here's and write this I begin to tear up knowing how many years of my life I lost because they wouldn't give me a life changing medicine. Ya. I'll probably be a lifer on this medication but at least I have a life again. So for those that were on them and didn't wean off correctly don't speak for all of us please. I would probably have ended up in a mental hospital because a chemical imbalance that happened from a pregnancy.

Re: me (# 5)

Once u start taking methadone or suboxone, I wouldn't take anything else cause being that both are blockers, you'd be wasting them and if u wanna just stay with tabs then I would take a week maybe 5 days without taking anything like methadone or suboxone before anything else to work... And never mix methadone and suboxone together cause u will detox.

I don't know many if any opiate addicts that take methadone recreationally. Either on a program or it will keep them from withdrawing. It really has no euphoric effects.

I use my dose for detox but also per docs advice, split it daily for pain. I'm slowly weaning off but am afraid how bad the chronic pain I have will be the lower my dose.oh well. Thanks for the advice & reply.

Re: me (# 5)

I know this is old but yeah you can take them with it. I wouldn't really recommend it, especially because of the acetaminophen thinning your blood out; it'll really intensify the methadone, but word of advice, get off the methadone completely. That s***s bad news. It's worse than opioids, when you get it as a liquid the bottle says "Take orally. May be fatal." That's kind of messed up. I'm assuming yours are pills but same goes for those and don't drink alcohol with it at all. One beer and one methadone can kill you. I know because a friend died this way. I do understand the need for painkillers and also the addiction side of it too, but for real, try to get it out of your life. It will slowly ruin your life without you noticing and then it is too late and nothing will be the same ever. I wish you the best.
