I had my last drain in for 6 weeks and then lied about it so I could get it out. It was very close to the number the surgeon recommended and the stitch was starting to pull so making it painful so I really needed to get it out. Luckily there were no bad side effects for fibbing a little bit to get it out. I know that when I went back to work @ 4 weeks the increased activity caused the drains to output a ton more than they had been and then eventually went back down to where they were before going back to work. Hang in there as it does stop and you will get it out even thought at this point it's very frustrating.
