Wow, thanks a ton! I was indeed hoping to smoke you personally out amongst any responses! And might I add that I love your PB name. So melodic. Does it translate into anything? : )

Yep, caucasian female. I haven't had problems with hydrocodone taken several days in a row after recurring dental work (with the remnants admittedly used up as special, one-dose treats for other aches and pains). But I guess those uses too might have been too infrequent to reveal such a deficiency.Is the available testing only for the purpose of discovering how a person metabolizes drugs in the class you mentioned? Or could a deficiency discovered there also translate to problems with other types of drugs -- even psy drugs (so that I could know not to bother with them)? Are there other things that this deficiency can state about a person; such as that irrespective of any ingested drugs, their bodies usually need the supplements x, y, and z? Or that this is actually their only real problem in life, and they can now proceed to move mountains, win friends and influence people on a large scale? (Ok, maybe I'm kidding about the last part). : )

Ahh, and the REASON I could prudently note that is because I read through all the archived threads on opiates as ADs; meaning a lot of your posts! It was all so very helpful in giving me well-rounded data and opinions. And, is exactly the kind of thing that inspired me to post on Admin that people should more often try searches/focused searches of Babble data.
