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. :-)
