How long to pass a drug test?

I got to pee in a cup tomorrow. Took some percocett about 5days ago.

Seven days.

You are almost certainly fine. They are probably doing a simple (and cheap) EMIT. The oxycodone from the percocets breaks down into a generic opiate metabolite---your basic employer given drug test has no idea whether you took a T-3 for a migraine, or you are slamming a couple of bundles a day.
If the EMIT reads positive, which it occasionally does erroneously, (they split up your urine) they will probably run a GC/MS on you, which could turn up some traces---but, they aren't going to run it unless you fail the EMIT.

Unless you work for a federal agency, I would bet 10:1 you are absolutely fine--just stay away from the pot, its that [censored] that gets you caught everytime.

Long story. I even got a scrpit for it. They are giveing me a hard time. They want a clean UA. I am assumeing that it is a UA.

Well, if it has been five days, and you have an "average" metabolism, I still would lay at least 10:1 on being fine. If the testers are using an on-site kit, I would up those. Since you think they are sending it off, it will get some version of an immunoassay (IA) (including EMIT) and as long as there are not more than 2000 ng/ml, you are hot. If there were 1900, they could order confirmatory testing, but if they follow the federal guidelines from SAMHSA, even if the secondary testing showed 1999 ng/ml, they have to pass you.
Unless you ate 24 of them five days ago, you are fine. Drink a little extra water (but not a ton, because that decreases creatinine in the urine, which they use to see if you intentionally diluted your urine by drinking a lot). Just make sure it isn't the first pee of the morning.

I haven't thought about this stuff for a few years, so sorry if I am rambling. I was once quite good at not failing drug tests, but like ridiculous overbets, they don't exactly need to catch you much.

You are fine then, don't worry. Just show them the bottle/script and you will be cleared.

If you were given a script for this, what's the problem?

Well, if the stipulation is a "clean" UA, and there will be rigamorale involved in presenting the script, not to mention the "long story" about said script alluded to by the OP, then it would be even easier to simply pee in a cup, go home, and fail nothing.

I am supoposed to goto Veags for work next week. I took the bottle in and gave it to the company. 120 7.5 percs. Then we get into questions about how long I have been takeing them. BLAH BLAH BLAH.

I got 120 due to the fact that I am leaveing the state and have kidney stones.

Fair enough. Hope it works out for you.
