Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Depends: Freq and amt of use matters, so does BMI, age, etc, etc. Half-life varies from 1 to 10 days! If you rarely use a bit and are thin, a week may be ok but not for sure. To be safer a few weeks are best. Good luck! Do the water several days before but esp test day!
