2 days: Oxycodone has a half life of about 4-5 hours so it is essentially gone within 36-48 hours of the last use of a short acting oxycodone preparation and perhaps 12 hours later after Oxycontin use.  Withdrawal will take significantly longer to resolve.Peaking in 2-3 days.  The urine tox should be negative in 4-5 days.

Accepted Answer

48 - 72 Hours: The drug is clinically not active after 15 to 20 hours. It is still probably detectable in the bloodstream or urine after three days. It will only be detectable after two months in other tissues such as hair.

Always take exactly the Rxed dose.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

You must define sick: If it is a true allergic response - hives, wheezing, skin rash - you may respond to other opiates similarly. If it is related to histamine-release (which is prominent with hydrocodone and less so with oxycodone) - which can cause itching, flushing, GI symptoms - you may not get it with oxycodone. The best answers would be from your prescriber and/or your pharmacist. Please ask them for advice.

Most likely: officially, you need to wait at least 24 hours. Practically, many people do it and even earlier. Legally, you need to do it in the presence of your doctor. Practically, if you are sweating, have muscle cramps, goosebumps, diarrhea – you can do it. Just start with a very small piece of the film to test if you are not precipitating further problems. good luck. Get treatment.
