I took 1 lortab on Monday night at 8pm, which is the first one I have had in over a year.. The drug test was wed at 10am. Will it be positive? I am honestly upset, because I just got hired for a job after wating for them to respond to my application after 5 months. This job is eaxactly what my children and myself need. And I made a terrible mistake on Monday night when I tooki this lortab from one of my prescriptions(which is out of date). I was in somuch pain from my sciatic nerve after working for 13 hours and I took it so I could go to sleep and go to work on tues for 12 hrs. What am I going to do? Please help I have made myself sick... with worry

Usually employment drug testing is very basic and checks only for illegal drugs. A basic 5 panel. If so, it will not detect Lortab (acetaminophen and hydrocodone) because that requires a different test.

Also hydrocodone is fast acting and one dose is probably going to be below level of detection even if tested for.

Thank you so much.. I feel so stupid. I work all the time and I make bad mistakes when I am tired... and I definitely am not a drug addict since there are 18 tablets out of 20 left and they are 6 months out of date. Thank you thank and thank u
