Hi im new here. I have a question that i know has probably been asked 1000 times but i cant find the answer i need using the search. Just friday i took 2 and a half hydrocodone 10 mg pills from about 3pm till 11pm. I took these because my dad gave them to me for my back i used to be perscribe but im not anymore. Just so happens i have a urinalysis either this monday or tuesday. I dont take these daily and havent taken any for a month. Should i be ok if im taking b-12 complex which i always do and drink water. I know no answer is 100% just looking for peoples personal advice. This is a test for my job which is a cna. Thank you for your help

Usually most narcotics will

Usually most narcotics will remain in your system for a minimum of 72 hours. I do not know if drinking a lot of water will pass it faster but I am sure someone here knows

Here's what happened to me

Here's what happened to me once.....I ran out of my pain pills one wknd and a friend gave me 2 Darvocets to take. This was on a Saturday night. Thursday morning my doc popped a surpriseSurprised urine test on me. It came back + for the Darvocet and I was dropped from the practice. I was very surprised that after 5 days I tested + for the Darvocet. It was my own fault, though. I should never of done it. So....That's my own experience. Everything could turn out different for you, though. No one ever knows!

Good luck.

Well honestly I think you

Well honestly I think you will be ok if you drink a lot of water and to be extra safe go to a GNC and get an overnight detox kit.  I did almost the exact same thing as you two years ago for an engineering internship that required a drug test.  Instead of pills I took hydro cough syrup and I had a drug test two days after.  Drink as much water as you can tonight and tomorrow and try to put the test off till tuesday.  U should be ok if all you took was 25 mg and you drink alot of water.  Try cranberry juice and like I said if you want to be extra safe go to GNC and get the overnight detox.  It might be expensive but I'm not sure how important passing your drug test is to you.  Is this drug test for you to get a job or are you already employed and have to take a drug test. If your employed most companys have a policy that if their employee tests positive for something then they send you to like a substance abuse program or something of that nature so you shouldnt get fired.  Good luck.

I don't know this to be

I don't know this to be fact, but I have heard that prescriptions remain valid for one year after they are dispensed in regards to a situation like yours.

Do a flush

Some places are hip to this but if you drink water every 15 min or so until you are peeing clear every 5 to 10 min then go take the test after you pee clear about 5 times you will pass no matter what you have in your system. Drink a glass of water everytime you pee once you get this going. This is called flushing. Be careful not to over do it. I have seen this get kicked back as a flush but most companies will accept it. You body is just dumping the water and does not have time to absorb much on the way through you system.

I have my CDL and in

I have my CDL and in Michigan it is required for a random drug test. The guys I know use a product called Minute Man, I am 100% positive it works, at least for 5 so far, you may want to look into it.
