Question Regarding Drug Testing and This Pill I Took?
Question by Ashlee: Question regarding drug testing and this pill I took?
So I go in for a drug testing Monday. I took a percocet(spelling?) Thursday night. My original plan was to tell them I took it for a migraine and I had the pill left over from when I had my wisdom teeth, which is technically true, but if it will be out of my system by then there probably isn’t any need to even say that right? So my main question is will it be out by then? Should I mention it still just in case? I’ve heard things stay in bigger peoples system longer, and I am chubby so if that is true, keep that in mind.
