    We consulted the company's doctor and I believe he said he thought about 3-5 days since I only took it once a day for 3 or 4 days, and up to 10 at max. He said that one wouldn't show up but I did have hydrocodone separately so that would of been there either way.

    I'm the same as you too as far as some being different than others. I've never had one that messed me up like this stuff did. Let's just say I had some pretty happy ride a longs when I could actually stay awake through it. I wouldn't of even thought of driving on it.

    Thanks for the input guys. I'd make the same decision again if it comes up again, but I was just wondering what everyone else thought about it. With lawyers ready to tear into everything these days I just don't know if it'd be smart or not for something like that to be in your system even though prescribed. I guess my question was a little less geared toward the specific drug being a muscle relaxer since they don't show up, but more towards everything in general when it comes to this situation.

    Exactly what my thoughts are on it too. I just don't see the need in today's world to push it when someone will dig up everything on you.

    It is a 2 way street, your counsel can respond by doing the same to the other party, I really loathe the legal profession, can't you tell?

    There is money in it, but even that seems to be drying up when law schools are cutting allowed enrollments.

    I stopped taking it before the relaxers and opiates come out fast so I was not worried about it by the time I would have driven. The relaxers were also what I'd feel unsafe driving on as well so that's why I focused more on that as far as getting into an accident goes.
