How long does it take to get Vicodin/Lortab out of your system when taking a urine test? And if you drink A LOT of water how long should it take?

yea it definately depends...

on a number of factors, like how much and how often u are taking it.  i have cleaned out my system the day before a urine test just by drinking a lot of water, and cranberry juice.  and i had a screaming habit so my system was FULL of opioids.

i would say three to five

i would say three to five days, and five being the most. i have been on these kind of pills for 8 years and have never failed a u-a because i gave myself five days before the test and have always passed it! but every one is different when it comes to this sort of thing so just because something works for me doesn't mean that it will work for you or be the same amount of time for you to clear out, you could clean out in 24 hours like some one above mentioned but every one is different when it comes to medications so i hope this helps good luck and have a good one

yea i agree with DUH..

I agree, the most common answer is 3 days.  But like I said in my last reply, I can clean myself out in one day if i have to.  it takes a lot of cranberry juice, and a ton of water, but it works.  my metabolism must be fast so there isnt a lot of opiates left in my system, so if i know i have a urine the next day the previous day is all i need.  not even the whole day.  i stop drinking the water and juice around 10 pm so in the morning my urine has some color to it.  So on the way to the clinic before my test, i just drink my iced coffee, and a little water so ill be able to go when i get there, and im good.  u dont wanna drink a lot of water right before the test coz some places will not use the sample if its clear coz they know u have been flushing.  some places thats an automatic positive, like my 'done clinic.  but like 420 and I said...EVERYONE is different so give yourself plenty of time.  

   Heres a weird one for ya,  I dontknow if its coz my metabolism is so fast or what, but i went on klonopins for anxiety and panic attacks, I am lucky coz my clinic allows u to be on benzos if the rx is from a psychiatrist. Anyways now that Im on the pins I want to test + for benzos at the clinic, so they dont think anything bad.  BUT since I have been on the pins, about 5 months, EVERY single drug screen I come up negative for benzos!   Every time!!!!!!!!!!!   at first they were questioning it coz they thought i was selling them or abusing them and running out, but my rx dose is only 2 mgs a day, so the nurses say its prob coz its such a small dose and I am such a big guy, 6'1"  260.  So they dont think bad thoughts anymore but its so ironic, when u wanna come up negative u come up +, and when u wanna be + u come up negative!!  me anyways!

Just be careful....depending

Just be careful....depending on what kind of opiate you are taking, immediate release, or extended release......some of the extended release pills take much longer to get out of your system...Just keep that in mind.  Otherwise, 5 or more days w/o opiates of any kind and you should be in the clear...Good luck..
