How did the test turn out? For future reference, Hydrocodone and the Codeine in Tylenol 3 are different drugs and in a broad panel test that looks for specific opiates, they will be detected individually. It may be up to 30 days per half inch of hair.

I have to take a hair follicle test for court purposes. There is a custody fight and I have been accused of abusing rx meds. I have a rx for lortab and xanax, I have not abused them but have at times taken doese closer together than prescribed or had bad days w/pain..How exact is this test, should I be worried if some days I have taken more or less than prescibed? I have taken them for years and never abused.

Jules, if you have an RX then I don't think you have much to worry about - UNLESS you have deviated from your prescribed amounts in a big way. I believe the hair tests can detect levels of the drug in the system, but those are measured differently than levels appearing in something like a blood or urine test. As to the original question, I agree with Verwon that they they hydrocodone vs codeine will most likely be detected separately if that's what the test is looking for.

As long as you're not doing it too often and still taking them with in your doctors general scope that he's dispensing them to you, I E if you're supposed take them every six hours and you're taking them every four hours for couple days and then you go back to taking them every six hours you shouldn't have a problem , they can determine how much of each medication in your system very accurately show it! Count your medications you're off ( over or under ) and by how many tablets you have left - you can pretty easily identify whether or not you're going over in detectable ranges or not if you're supposed to have 20 tablets and it's the third week of the month and you have 10 depending on the milligram strength you may have a problem if you have 15 depending on the milligram strength it probably would be OK unless of course you took all those tabs in the last week and start your measurements from the day you got the script , I have always done it to check my own self and make sure I'm one track and make adjustments if needed- good luck !!
