How Long Does Morphine Sulfate Stay In The Body?

I have taken 60mg of Morphene Sulfate twice a day for back pain for the past 6 months. I have a DOT drug screen coming up and am wondering how long the drug stays in my system? I m considering trying to get along without it for a few days to see if I can obtain a negative reading and save some hassle. Any educated guess? Male, 180#, 65 years

Hello,
Ideally one should not worry for the morphine levels for the tests if you are taking the medicines legally by prescription.
However coming to your question,it is as follows...
Blood Test. 12 hrs`
Saliva Test. 1-4 days
Urine test. 3-4 days
Morphine, like like many other drugs, can be detected with a hair follicle drug test for up to 90 days.
Thanks
