how long does percocet ten stay in your urine
I was maulded by a pit bull dog and thank God i lived ,i live in severe pain and anxiety,my cronic pain clinic did a urine screne and i am prescribed percocet 10/325 ,4 to 5 times a day and if i take it five times a day ,which seems to help more and then i run out three or four days early ,well i find i can deal with those days with tylenol and my other meds, but they say i didn't take it correct,but i did, but it was the only thing that didn't show up in my test and i was wondering how long it stays in your urine?Not sure who or if there's an answer on this site,just joined. I do the best i can considering how bad things are and was hoping to get an answer from someone, hope someone can help.thanks
Ok....Something didn't make sense to me... You said well i find i can deal with those days with tylenol and my other meds....You have to take 5 peracets aday to help ur pain, but then u run out, and then u can do OTC meds for 3 to 4 days and it helps u....well if that is the case ur peracets u could have took 3 aday, with the tylenol and had a better out come...I really have a problem with people who say OMG I have chronic pain I have to take 5 peracets 10's a day, but then I can go 2,3,4 days without any pain meds at all other than OTC meds.....there is so many of us on here, that really suffer from chronic pain, we can't say well 3 or 4 days I can just take tylenol if I run out, and it helps....
I don't know what pain ur in...but I will tell u this...If u can go 4 days on tylenol and it helps, when it took 5 peracets 10 mg to help you, there is something very very wrong with that picture....

3 days.. it doesn't matter what ur reason , if it isn't n ur system then they can kick u out and never let u come back.. i know it's hard not 2 take ur meds they way they have u taking them, but stick 2 their way , b/c u could have no meds at all. i'm not trying 2 sound mean.. i just know how they r .. i have heard so many stories from people like u who now have no pain medicines and other drs won't c them b/c it's now on their records.. it's their way or no way.

If the Dr. perscribed 4 to 5 times daily and you take 5 daily, then you are taking as perscribed and don't concern yourself with other comments. Urine tests can test up to 72hrs. depending on your body fat, and other physiological attritutes it may be less. I passed a test in less than 48hrs. after taking an oxy 20mg.

What does it matter to you how people take their medication? You're not them, and you're not their doctor. I hate it when people that say "omg Im in so much pain and I take my medicine how I'm suppose to so allow myself to enforce my methods like some kind of nazi or old school crusader upon others!" thats crap. If you don't want to answer the question without placing your own opinions into it, just stfu and go to another topic okay? People's reasons for taking pain meds are different, and there are always going to be people that abuse these medications and your critisism on how people should do something is not help at all. I will state this, not everyone can gain access to the pain medication that they need because not everyone has those "nice doctors" that give out pain meds. I once had a major kidney stone problem where I had a stone so large that I had to undergo an operation to shatter it. I was passing kidney stones for 3 weeks, which I have to say is more pain than giving birth and I've been told so by several women who have given birth and had kidney stones. After the operation I was prescribed enough Lortab to last me a week, but after that I was still passing stones and going back to the surgeon was going to cost me another 900 bucks. So I went to my doctor, and the idiot tells me to take Tylonal and that the pain is mostly in my head lol. So what did I have to do? I had to lower myself to act like a druggy and buy my pills off the street, but it was because I was in such severe pain I could not continue on without the medicine. Once the stones were gone, I quit taking the medication. Unfortunantly when I couldent find Lortab I was forced to purchuse percocept which was said to be the same thing, but in a lab urinalysis it will show up different that hydrocodone and I worked in a state job and could have been drug tested at any time for abuse of my pain meds or any other flippin reason that the state wanted to lol.
Anyway to answer the question, any opiate pill is water soluable. Depending on the amount of water you drink, how many times a day you urinate and the amount of sweat saturation you produce a day can determine how fast or slow it takes for the medication to exit the urin system. If you are athletic and do a reasonable amount of sweating, drink plenty of water and urinate regularly then it will only take like 24-48 hours at tops. If you arnt, and you just sit around getting stoned off of them it still would only take 3-4 days and thats if you arnt drinking any water during these periods of time and are eating a lot of fatty foods which will cause the molecules of the opiate to stick to the body longer.
Any opiate in general only takes around 2-3 days to get out of the system for a urinalysis but for a blood analysis it will take 5-7 days and this goes into further examination of how much of the opiate you take per day.
Anyway I hope miss lady chick can get a life outside of crying about how people take their meds, and I also hope this answered your question. :-)
