Benzo Half Life

The half life of a benzo is 12 hours, period. Look it up before you start spouting crap. The average person at average weight will be clean of benzos approximately 2 days from their last dose based on its 12 hour half life.

Hello, Kalenvex! How are you?

I'm sorry, but that is not correct. The half-life of benzodiazepines can vary from one to another, for instance the half-life for Xanax averages about 11 hours, but for Valium it is about 43 hours.

And the elimination time from the body can be anywhere from 5 to 6 half-lives, so Xanax would take anywhere from 55 to 66 hours, while Valium would take anywhere from 215 hours to 258 hours, in some cases, Valium has been noted to have a half-life of 100hours, so its elimination time would be 500 to 600 hours.

You can Google this yourself, if you'd like, such information is freely available in pharmacology text books and websites.

All of these medications also carry the risk of being habit forming.

Are there any other questions or comments?
