How long does morphine stay in your system?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below : It depends on the formulation and delivery system but immediate release morphine gas a half time of 2-4 hours. Like all drugs it take 4 half lives to be eliminated so 8-16 hours.

I've been on Morphine for years;prescribed 15mg 3per day. I have cut back to 30mg per day, but just had a urinalysis that showed a high level. Can gastric motility or esophagus problems cause morphine to stay in my system? I'm really careful?
