I have a drug test for new job (Wed), on Fri I took 1/2 a vicodin for a toothache (not RX) should I report?

You'll be fine.  These drugs are metabolized right away, and anyway, employers are not looking for OTC pain relievers.  You don't have to tell anybody you did not have a prescription for the vicodin, but you can tell them that you took some and when.  If there is any problem, you have the proof of the tooth extraction and the legitimate provenance of the drug.

yes they will show up and if it is an employer they probably will test for all drugs.  i think they all leave your system in three days so drink a lot of water(like a gallon a day at least).

The amount of time any drug can be detected in one's system can vary from person to person and test to test. It certainly can also depend on the amount of the drug taken and when it was taken relative to the time of the test. Keeping in mind that there is no 100% hard and fast rule for how long a drug will be in one's system, Vicodin can stay in your system for approximately 5 days after use.

No one can give a straight answer. Everything is "Dont do drugs, etc." A*sholes...\n\nDepends on what drugs youre doing. Crank, coke, its out of your system within three days - but if they take a hair sample, youre f*&ked. That stays for five YEARS.\nIf its pot, go to your local head shop. They sell products that you can drink that mask pot in urine, and they are pretty effective. Even offer a money back guarantee - which isnt much consolation when youre failed a test and lost a job, but hey - you get twice your money back. Stop smoking at least three days prior to the test if using these products....\n\nOf course, the way I proteccted myself was by getting a prescription...once you have it, when you take a test, the doc will call you and ask if you have an Rx. If you do, you fax him a copy, and the ONLY thing he can tell your employer is whther or not you passed or failed - and with an Rx, its a PASS! \n\nGood luck bro. Ignore the other morons here telling you to stop, etc. Live life like you want to. As long as youre not hurting anyone else, f&*k 'em.

Ibuprofen is your best bet.  Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory.  Since you do have an abcess this will reduce the inflammation in the nerve chamber of your tooth.  The reason you have a tooth ache is b/c the nerve of your tooth is inflammed.  It is in a tight and enclosed area and has expanded.\n\nIt is OK to take 3 or 4 at a time in your case.  I know it may be hard to believe coming from an assistant and not a Dr., but if you call your Dr. he/she will say it is OK.\n\nAlso rinse with a solution of warm water and salt (if it is not too painful).  This will reduce bacterial growth and may prevent further infection.

Advil and go to the dentist!

I would say probably not, but if you are asked if you have taken anything recently that might impact the test, be honest about it. You think they wouldn't hire you for taking an over the counter FDA approved drug.

There is a very strong seditive called Halcion that your dentist will precribe for you to take one hour before a procedure, and they will also give you nitrus oxide if they have that in their dental office during the procedure (if you even need it along with the Halcion,) Halcion  has a amnesiac effect, where you won't even remember getting any work done, you have to have someone drive you to and from the appointment, trust me, if you take this pill, you won't care where you are going, at leaste that is what i have seen, my spouse also had to take this before he had some extractions done, he appeared to be in la la land with a big smile on his face, hope this will help.

I had this done a year ago- cuz Im like a total WOOSEY when it comes to the dentist!  I paid out $250 to be knocked out while he worked on me.  IT WAS WELL WORTH IT!  If u r as afraid of a dentist as Iam its worth the money.  They do the work and u wake up with a bottle of vicodin in your hand and u didnt feel a thing!

Take 800 mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength.  It has an anti-inflammatory in it so it's going to work better than Tylenol or aspirin.  And make an appointment to see your dentist asap.

List all your scripts; its a lot easier to explain the absence of something you are permitted to have than the presence of something you are not permitted to have.  Having the list on file will prevent awkward moments in future meetings.  IF you have to pee in a cup, and IF the tox screen even tests for your scripts, and IF the liquid stuff even screens it, and IF your PO even notices it didn't show up, you can always say "I guess I didn't take that medicine that week."  I wouldn't let it happen too often, though.

If your doctor won't give you more by prescription you need to rethink your need for it.  It is addictive and people routinely abuse it.  Are you doing that?  Getting vicodin by any means other than legit prescription is illegal and dangerous.\n\nThere are many other, effective, non narcotic medications for pain that you should consider instead.  Speak to your doctor about those.  In the mean time use ibuprofen or acetaminophen (according to the directions on the bottle).\n\nGood luck.

Taking pills is not a good idea unless you have a prescription. Vicodin is highly addictive and is in the opiate family (same as morphine/heroine) With that said, depending on how many you are taking each day, it can stay in your system anywhere from 3-5 days. I have seen people taking these pills and it take 30 days until their body has fully gone back to normal but that is at taking numerous pills a day. Please be careful with this medication.

I had my two bottom wisdom teeth pulled a while back and if your not in a lot of pain now, its only going to get better. They gave you some Vicodin right? just take that until you feel like you can be OK without them. After like three days you should be able to eat normal food again. If you have any concerns about it, all you have to do is call up your dentist and ask them about it. they will gladly help ya.

wheres the vicodin from you need a muscle relaxer and demerol that helps to get the pain down for me but see the doctor sometimes it takes me a week to feel right and you may need a doctor slip to deal with work issues
