I took half a vicoden on Monday, I never take drugs, I had a headache and a friend suggested I take half. I have a test Wednesday. Am I safe? Will it show up? I need a reply, please help!

Please don't keep starting a new thread with the same question. If you want to reply to the question so it gets bumped up the new activity list you can do so.

As far as your question. Did you have a prescription for the Vicodin?

I suggest letting the tester know you took it so he can account for it in the test.

The percription I have is old, but the Viocden I took was from a friend

I'm sorry but you should've known not to take a Vicoden for a headache. There are plenty of other over-the-counter medicines to fix that such as: excedrin, tylenol, advil or motrin.

Dear beautiful brunette, I was not asking for criticism, I was really hurting and not thinking. I was asking for help.

It might, as it is catigorized in the opiate family of drugs. You only took 1/2 a pill, so it may not show with that small of an amount. Hard to tell though. One thing I've heard in a case like this that you can do, is drink loads of water before your test so as you can flush out your system as much you can. No guarantee, but the more water you can drink to flush out your system, the better. I've been in this situation before with a different presciption pain med, unfortunately I failed the test & read about the water trick after I failed. I'm not a druggie at all, but I took something three days prior to a test for bad back pain & the test picked it up. It cost me a job. The best bet is definitely don't take anything unless you have a prescription for it.

It will show up, you need to be honest with the tester, better than them finding it without it. If you had a prescription they may accept you had one left

I'm sorry that you took my response as criticism, I didn't mean it that way. If you weren't perscribed it and it did show up then you wouldn't pass. You claim you have an old perscription. Maybe tell the nurse that you have an old perscription and that you took that because you had a terrible headache and you didn't think over-the-counter medicine would work.

Wednesday has passed so how did it go?
