How Long Do MDMA Pills Stay In The Body?

Posted on Thu, 7 Jan 2016

Question: Hi, around 7 months ago my drink was spiked with what I believe was an MDMA tablet or some substance along those lines. I was wondering would you recommend having a drugs test to make sure whatever the substance was is out of my system? I am worried that should I apply for a job after my degree that I may need to supply a urine sample, which could ruin my career. I seriously appreciate the help.

Brief Answer:
The drug is out of your system if you took it 7 months back

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxx745,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. If your drink was spiked 7 months back then it has been a long time and the drug will not be traceable in your system any longer.

2. Most drugs get washed out of urine and blood samples in few days. By the end of a week most substances are not found in urine and blood tests.

3. Some drugs can be found in hair in first 3 months after using it. In your case even this will not show the presence of any drug.

In conclusion, applying for a job should not be a problem keeping in mind a drug which you have taken 7 months ago.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.

Doctor thank you so much. Would you recommend getting a test for peace of mind or is there no need?

Brief Answer:
No drug test is required for you

Detailed Answer:
Hi Cormac745,
Thanks for writing back with an update.

1. If it is 7 months then there is no need to take a drug test. However please be informed that certain over the counter medicines can cause a false positive drug test. Therefore take medicines only when required from one month before you go for the test and inform the authorities of any recent medicines that you have taken.

Hope your query is answered.
