    5 Panel Expanded OP Hair Follicle Drug Test?
    I have just applied for a new job.. Great pay great benefits.. I had to take two drug screenings. One was urine and one was 5 panel expanded op hair test.

    I have taken Vicodin and Percocet in the past three months. I think it was about 15 pills total. I have back issues from a car accident and had a really bad cold a friend told me to take Vicodin to help with cough. For my back I take them occasionally only one and at night. Not all the time just occasionally.
    I think the most I ever took at one time was one pill each night for three nights when I was really sick coughing and then nothing for up to a week. My father gave these to me thinking he was helping me I cannot afford to go the doctor with my current job. I don't make enough to make ends meet. He will be sick if I do not pass.
    I haven't taken any for the past two weeks. I was unaware that I would need to have a hair follicle test. I do not use cocaine or marijuana at all. I am really afraid I am not going to pass the hair follicle test and am sick to my stomach.

    I did do the shampoo things listed on the internet regarding stripping the hair.. Not sure if that does any good. I used baking soda, vinegar, acne cleanser and tide.. I am surprised I even have hair left.

    If anyone has any information of if you think I will pass or not it would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for your help..

    I'm reading it shows in hair for 90 days. The Internet "how to beat the system" products do not work.

    You were taking these drugs for treatment of a cold and sleep problems, without prescription. If someone decides to question you the person with the prescription who is handing them out could be in trouble.

    These are not aspirin - but I'm sure you now know that.

    I'm confused that your father will be "sick" if you don't pass -didn't he give you the medication?

    My father will be sad (not sick) if I do not get the job. He will feel bad. It wasn't his fault he was just trying to help his daughter.

    I do not believe you are going to pass. I'm sure you know your father - and you - made a big and costly mistake.

    There is nothing to do except wait for the results of the test.

    I would also be very careful about taking medication prescribed for another people.
