Opioids Oxycodone Half-Life?

[MyronPecz]

So, I have a drug test Monday that I just got a call about (lol) and I just took 7.5mg of Oxy last night (just enough to not be sick) and my test is tomorrow around 1pm. All together that will put me at about 40 hours clean when I get tested. Do you think I can pass? I was completely clean prior to this, by the way.

These questions are frowned upon on BL so this will be shut down soon all I will say is everyone is different and metabolises substances at a different pace meaning some people with slower metabolisms will fail but others such as me can get away with that o remember detox telling me it was normal for patients to come in with clean urine from oxycodone even if they did big doses the night before. Also you say you did enough not to be sick but was clean before that? Don't make sense if your doing it to get well then your addicted not clean.

 

[Lorne???]

Man, it is not a t all "normal" to do a big dose of oxycodone and pass the next day, in fact, it's quite rare.(though I guess it depends on what a "big dose" is, although if you slam 150mg, you're failing the next 24 hours, although I've definitely gotten away with it(MMT, I ain't got no damn probation son!)

Hey, this thread tricked me! I though you we're asking about oxycodone half-life! Well, it's
2-7 hours, mean 3.5-4 for oral/IV/intranasal, slightly longer rectal.

And drug testing Q's are very much frowned upon. You should be ashamed of yourself!

I guess the doctors in detox know nothing then eh Lorne lol your funny Wi-Fi still doesn't replece medical school Lorne haha

I did 400mgs of oxy from about 5pm to 12 midnight then at 300pm the next day went to detox with clean piss and they said that is normal. Same thing happened to a lot of friends I know.

 

[Lorne???]

... I said "but I have gotten away with it". I meant you shouldn't risk it. The one time I did fail? 90 fucking mg! I've done twice that much, timed it to be nearly 30 hours and passed.(I wouldn't risk more than 400mg!)

Med school doesn't teach you how to beat drug tests And I can't talk about what makes the body clear drugs faster cause it's against the rules.. Blah.

But in the end there is an element of randomness and anyone advising you that it's normal to do 400mg and pass the next day must want you to fail. They wouldn't have drug tests if they sucked that bad, all the time.(Well, heroin tests fucking suck, but they still pick up morphine)

And how did you know I WIFI? I only recently switched. You spying on me son?

I don't know much about them at all... but would a simple drug test be able to differentiate opiates such as Oxycodone from opiates such as Loperamide?

I'm sure a very specific test would, but how would a normal one know the difference between somebody who's taken Oxy, and someone who's just had the shits and taken some Loperamide?

 

[Lorne???]

Oxycodone and loperamide are semisynthetic. All opioids are semisynthetic or synthetic.

Therefore, tests have to test each of them Separetly. Loperamide is legal, so no one tests for it.

Of course, every test checks for morphine, one if the only 2 natural opiates, and thus a metabolite of both codeine and a few other opioids(ethlymorphine, a few others I can't remember.)

Everyone would test for common ones like oxycodone and hydromorphone(taking hydrocodone will make you fail for both oxycodone/morphone) but in my experience, it seems a lot of PMD's don't check for buprenorphine.

Hope that clears it up.

BL doesn't allow drug testing questions. I'm going to close this. I suggest actually reading the rules since we follow them very closely.
