Quaaludes don't exist, but it's sometimes still possible to find methaqualone out there...
I'm very curious about why the extensive drug testing, and whether a doctor's prescription will make a difference for you? That is, are you trying not to disclose the disorder for which Xanax is being prescribed, or is this a situation in which it doesn't matter if the Pope, the President, the Prime Minister, and the Heavyweight Champion of the World couldn't change the prohibition for this medication? (You know, something where it might actually make a very real difference -- commercial pilot, air traffic controller, rodeo clown; a profession which requires a high level of alertness at all times.)
I did a little search, and the answer I got that looked most reliable said that Xanax would probably not be detectable after 6-7 days. The site that looked least reliable to me said 1 - 6 weeks. It's going to vary based on how efficient your metabolism of the medication is, but I'd speculate that a week or so should be safe.
I very much hope that helps.
