In reply to how long does xanax show in urinel, posted by Dona on February 18, 1999, at 19:03:32
> I have been on about 1.5mgm of xanax for last three months for anxiety. I have a new job opportunity and worried about will it show in urine drug testing. Does anyone know if it will show at this dosage or if I stop it for a few days witll my urine be clear?? Thanks
Of the benzos, Xanax has a short half-life: 10-20hrs.
Compare that with Valium: metabolites appear up to
200 hrs later! So it should clear your system if you can stay off
it for at least 2 days. However, I would speak with your
physician or pharmacist to confirm this and/or to explore
your rights during drug testing. Remember, this applies only
to URINE testing; if they request a hair sample (and this
type of testing has accuracy problems) it probably will be
there.
