30mg of methadone for severe pain not enough,5mg for breakthrough How long does the percocet stay in my body?

Question

I Know the methadone is a long acting med & stays in the system for at least a few days. The percocet lasts for about 2 hours how long is it in my body for?

Answer 1

If you are asking how long you would test positive on a drug test if tested for percoset, then the answer is between 2 and 4 days. For methadone the answer is at least a week. Both answers are irregardless of how long your pain relief from either medicine will last. Be very careful taking escalating doses of methadone as this can be fatal even 48 hours after your last medicine ingestion due to suppressed breathing, especially if the drug is mixed with alcohol or tranquilizers.
