I need to know how long lortab and soma stay in your system for a urine test done by a standard pain clinic. I have had perscriptions for these both a few months ago and didn't take them all and still have some and occasionally take one but I don't know how long a script is good for. I am returning to the doctor for help and want to know how long each drug stays in your urine. And how long a perscription is good for.

The length of time in which a prescription can be refilled varies - it should state the time frame on the bottle.

If you have a prescription what is the problem with the testing?

It stays in your urine approximately 4 to 5 days but that depends on dosage, usage, how your body functions. It varies from person to person.

In my area it is difficult to get into a pain management clinic. If you don't follow the rules you are removed from the program - and that includes one dirty urine. That policy tends to keep people in line. The sad part is that one mistake gets you thrown out.
