My husband is on a lot of pain meds, and his doctors are discharge spinal stimulator with him. How do you like yours? Has it helped you manage your pain better? We have been told it would help get off the meds which is our ultimate goal.

In this year 2015 most tests are using nano technology so if anyone thinks hydrocodone will be out of urine in 24 hrs, they are wrong. It will show even 6 days later if you're given a nano test. Standardized testing is still less expensive so a 50/50 chance you will get that. If you do, it is there detectable for sure 48hrs up to 72 hrs, so again this 24 hr business is just not true. The only way one tests negative in 24 hrs is two ways; spoof test was given since those are cheap. You provide sample for them, they don't really test you so it is all clear & if by chance you took something of course it did not show up but do NOT expect that to happen all the time since 80% of time they will test. Other reason might not be in test is a false negative since no test is infallible but drinking lots of water only makes one look guilty of trying to get something out of system so basically, hydrocodone is mostly for pain in USA & by RX only. It is used to treat depression in Europe but in US, one is taking it only for pain but no worry because you have reason & RX for doing so. If not, seek addiction treatment instead of worry over tests.

None of us in pain with serious medical problems feel high off our meds but we sure go through hell because of addicts so we are getting rather tired of it.

My problem is I take 2 hydrocodone pills every day. Have for almost six years. Yet recently I'm getting drug screens that say there is little evidence that I'm taking the pills.
There isn't the expected residue after enough half-life's showing up. One month after taking 65 pills the test results were I'd only taken 30.
Could my body metalbolize at a different rate. I don't know why the hydrocodone isn't showing up.

For the purposes of passing a test to show either hydrocodone or oxycodone is positive in your system, you need to take your dosage about 90 mins before your appointment time if you are usually taking the medication at least 3-4 days of the week. If you do not take the medication as regularly as prescribed then take one additional dosage about 3 hours prior to the appointment time.

They (both) reach their peak strength about 90 mins after taking it and drop to less than 50% after 4 hours. Regular users will have a residual buildup in their system over time. Anything taken the night before (12 hours) is already 90+% eliminated.

Interestingly, in most UA's performed in a 10-panel cup (like a doctor's office for a quick verification vs a full lab test), the typical threshold for Opiates (including both Hydro and Oxy) is 2000 Ng/ml whereas as a 12-panel test with a specific test for Oxy has a threshold of only 100 Ng/ml. The point of this is that the "test" for Oxy, when used in addition the Opi test, is far more "sensitive" and thus it doesn't take much of it to test positive for it. So if you are prescribed Oxy and happen to take other Opiates on a regular basis like Hydro, it will take very little Oxy 90 mins before the appt to correctly pass both tests.

These recommendations are based on actual practice by other individuals after first studying both the scientific side (drug half life) and also a little testing using a detailed diary and a dozen testing cups.

The best thing to do in your situation is to be honest with your pain man dr. If they know ur sincere there shouldn't be a problem. I've been in same predicament. And be more specific about your pain if new problems r arising. Tell them everything. Drs are people too, they'll understand. If they feel they are being takin advantage of that's when u get cut off. Just do that. God bless hope this helps.

I've gotten some good feedback, but still looking for a bit of extra clarification. I've been prescribed 2- 7.5 Hyrdocodone pills a day. I've taken two a day for the past four years. My tests have always been positive for the amount I take, Until the last two which they tell me the test say I'm not taking what I say I am. Whether you believe me or not, I've been taking the pills, why I would change after over four years on the same dosage when it's for arthritis which is incurable is beyond my ken.

I do take the second pill at 11 p.m. and it's been up to 16 hours without a pill when I take the test. The pain is worse at night not so much during the day. I don't understand after four years at the same dosage why the level would not show up on the past two tests when I know I'm only down about two pills those months. If I'm not in pain I take fewer pills. I am going to ask them to test a hair sample because of an incident when I tried to quit my blood pressure from the pain one early morning had gone up to 278 over 139 when it normally runs 140 over 70; That's stroke and heart attack territory and while it took three months of one pill a day to get there I'd rather not chance that threat to my health. I actually want the results to be fair and honest.

I trust the people at my clinic and they treat me well, so I'm puzzled why the proper level of hydrocodone I'm taking isn't showing up on the test? I can see suspicious minds thinking I'm selling them, but I've never taken more than 75 of the 90 pills prescribed over the past 5 years in any one month. If I'm selling them why would i have enough extra every month to have not needed but 11 prescriptions every 12 months because I build up enough extra? I would suspect that is what they would think because of the test results, but my past behavior and 826 crediit score and being in the top 25% of people my age in net worth makes selling the extra ten or twelve pills a month a terrible business risk hardly worth the money. But I know that will come up in someone's mind because of the false test results. I'm willing to take an outside test to prove I'm taking the two pills a day but my regular doctor won't give me the test thinking they are unnecessary.

I simply would have thought that the test could measure over a months period even if I haven't taken a pill in the past 16 hours when I take the urine test.

They are the same active ingredient, so if it does show up- if u have the script- you're good.

I took one 10mg hydrocodone Saturday night and have to take a urine drug test Monday morning. Will it be out of my system by then?

Two months in a row. My problem is the oppostie of most people's. I'm taking hydrocodone daily and the tests say I'm not. They are measuring what hydrocodoned turns into, sorry, can't remember the name. But it's not the hydrocodone itself.
Strange.

Amen!! I totally agree with you on that. Because of so many people that are illegally trying to do anything and everything they can to get there hands on pain meds, anxiety meds, etc... it has punished the rest of us that are really in pain and in the need of medication...especially the elderly and the people that are suffering from a certain form of cancer or people who are terminally ill. You should be ashamed of yourselves really, if you think your in need of medication that severely maybe you need to go seek a doctor and get some help yourself.... I remember when it was no problem getting medications that you needed but now even if you go to a pharmacy now days and pick up your proscriptions, the pharmacist looks at you like your some kind of drug addict just for picking up medication and on top of that, it isn't even a narcotic...it's sad that the pharmacists just automatically in there minds assume that your a pill popper, and that's because of all of these other people out there that's really doing that.....and I can't really blame the pharmacists because she probably has to really deal with people up at the pharmacy all day trying to do crazy stuff just to find some way or another to get there hands on some narcotics...

To take it less than 24 hours would be stupid, obviously.

I have been on pain management for 8 years I have had 13 surgeries and a real pain issue. Because of people that abuse drugs I have to go through extensive monthly test I can't take cold medicine I can no longer have a small glass of wine I cannot even go to the er. If I have a broken bone and it's after hours of my pain doctor I cannot even go to er to get it cast. If I have chest pains I have to get permission to go to er. It's reficulous. I was cut down by 60 pills a month this is crazy. I have to suffer throughout the month because I was cut two pills a day. I get called in for counts as late as midnight. Druggies have cause all this and I and others like me have to suffer. I feel your pain.
