1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    You can dismiss this message by clicking on the X in the upper right corner.

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    Post-dose 4 hours (PEAK): The half-life for methadone in plasma is 15-55 hours. This is the time for 50% of the dose to be metabolized and excreted in the urine

    A half life is the time it takes for HALF of the drug to be metabolized in your body. Then an other half life for the other half, then an OTHER half life for that half ect. Most drug tests are sensitive for 4-6 half lives, which would be, at most about 330 hours. Although everyone's liver works a little differently. And the "noise level" they set the drug test at is different for different testing laboratories.

    If you have a prescription, it shouldn't be a problem.
