Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You're taking about which metabolte? You already mentioned many drugs about which drug your asking? Nicotine may stay up to one year in hair follicles. 3-8 weeks in blood. But other drugs may vary 2-3 days. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
