Follow-Ups to Answer from Expert Jerry Rhodd

I'm not an expert, just a person whom took 2 tabs of Darvocet 100 on a Thursday late afternoon & took a drug test for employment on the following Monday morning (about 9:00). It showed positive for the drug & I lost out on the opportunity, even with an RX (I take it about 2-3 times a month for a neck / shoulder injury).



Jerry, can some people hold on to the drug longer in their systems than others?



Just curious!



Respectfully,
