How long do prescription pain killers stay in your system?

Q: I am applying for new jobs & am afraid that when I take a drug test i’ll fail. I recently began Massage & Chiropractic Therapy rather than having going to the Dr. for pain pills. I don’t want to take them my whole life… I did however have to take 2 pain pills recently & my prescription has since expired! I try to drink plenty of water as well.

A: Technically, drugs that you have taken stay in your body forever. Since they leave your body in an exponential decay, there will always be a little bit of that drug in your body. Drinking water does help, too. It clears away any toxins that the drug could possibly leave behind. A good way to find out is to research the drug and find out it’s half-life. You can find that info by just Googling it. Hydrocodone (vicodin) has a half-life of just under 4 hours, so after 8, there will only be trace amounts left inside your body. If you’ve waited a little while (maybe 2-3 days), they won’t be able to detect it and you will be fine because it would have decayed to a small decimal. It’s a simple piece of knowledge and I learned it in my Algebra and Chemistry class. Hopefully this helps and if you are nervous, just wait a couple of days and it could help with stress. Don’t worry, thought. It’s your personal life!

how long will vicodin or other pain killer stay in your blood ?

Q: ive taken probly around 20 vicodin 500mg in the past 2 weeks, and im going for a blood drug test. how long do pills stay in your blood? and is there a way to detox and clean my system without buying the expensive kits online ?

A: I assume that since you are asking about detoxification methods that you do not have a legal prescription for the drugs that you took. I am not sure about how long it can be detected in your blood, but a urine test will come back clean after about 72 hours from your last dose. It has a very short half life. If you have a prescription for the medication you need to take the bottle into the testing center with you. If you do not, you may very well be screwed.
