I'm sorry Angel but that is the most stupid, idiotic thing i've heard someone do in a long time. How could you think it would be out in 2 hours. In that length of time it's just starting to enter your urine. When I first read that I thought this has to be a joke. I'm sorry i don't mean to sound cruel and I apologize if it does. But we all learn from our mistakes. Next time give yourself a few weeks between.
How long does it take for a 1mg Xanax to enter the blood stream? I have to take a blood test & urine test to check my level of how much Xanax is in my system and & I haven't been taken them in the last 30days. My blood test & urine will be done in a wk.
Attention "bearer of bad news" the question was how long does it take for zanax to get INTO your urine not get out of !
Hey just wondering if you passedm
i took 6 mg of xanax @ 10pm on tuesday i have a drug screen on 1/6 @ 8am will it be out of my system by then? i have a script for them but but i really need this job. if they will not be out by then is there any way to flush them out. please im begging you. you really have no idea how much i need this job. and if i get it i plan on seeking an alternative to xanax. please help me
well given the dates u provided, you'll b fine because ur test is 11 months away
I had a drug test today in the morning and I took a zanix bar right now I have to get a random drug test every moth of my urine and hair every 3month how long will it be out of my system I weight 165 I'm 4'11feet
What neat answers. To the O/P I'd say it starts ENTERING your system in about 10 minutes. To "fiendgenius" that was too funny!
She needs it in her system not out.
I took 4mg of Xanax and had to take a drug test 30 min later. Is that enough time for it to enter into my urine
Hi Angel, Im a pharmaceutical doctor of over 20 years and it looks like you got lucky taking the XANAX when you did because fortunate enough for you XANAX of any kind or any milligram takes no less then 24 HOURS MINIMUM to enter your system. Therefore, The XANAX will NOT show up positive on ANY drug test until it has been AT LEAST 24 HOURS MINIMUM meaning it could take up to as much as 48 hours to enter your system. You got lucky this time Angel, but be careful you may not be as lucky next time. Happy I Could Help, Good Luck To You.
Dr. Martinez, is this information truly accurate...just asking because I'm very interested as it pertains to my co-worker's current predicament. Many thanks, and good luck Angel
Dr. Martinez, could you give me a reference or a source on what you said regarding XANAX not being in your system (or urine actually) after consuming it until 24-48hours
(i took a xanax 30min prior to a urine test)
Thanks!
Hey Sawyer -- did you end up passing your test?
Is this 100% accurate? I took 3 xanax bars last night at 8pm and got called in for a random tox this morning at 11am, so is this true that it won't show up in my urine when I go in to tox today?
Are you sure? And is it same for blood? I got pulled over and had taken ONE xanax bar an hour before, they drew my blood at the precinct. How long does it take to enter the bloodstream?
I suffer from severe anxiety and my pain management Dr refuses to prescribe me anything for it. However I do get xanax from a different Dr but I can't have it in my system when I go to my pain dr. My apt is on Friday if I were to take half of a 2 mg bar will it show up on my urine test on Friday morning. Because as of right now I don't have it in my system but like I said before I have severe anxiety. My chest starts tightening up my breathing turns erratic and I can't sleep. So I would really love to find out just how long it takes to enter you urine? Please and thank you
You'd the foolish one, he said how long till its in your system not till it's out of your system
If you took it on Wednesday morning and you tested Friday, you are going to more than likely test positive, especially if you were taking it consistently before Wednesday. I played around with tests a lot, your only chance to pass the test is to go into a sauna or steam room after you work out and sweat like a maniac and drink more water than it seems healthy and theb you may have a chance.
Beat idea in my honest opinion would be to call him now and tell him you made a huge mistake after you had a panic attack and someone offered it to you during the panic attack so you thought on a panic response. I know it's hard to be honest like that but you will test positive 90% chance and telling the truth makes him respect your honesty and be able to trust you even though you test positive

Within 30 mins you are probably right ... but if you REALLY wanted to be safe, I'd say an hour. Also keep in mind that "peak levels" refers to being in the blood stream, which means if one is checking levels in urine, it needs to be metabolized by the liver first.
Re: Blue (# 61)
I have to agree w 'Not a Doct' on this one.. Almost 99.9% that you will test POSITIVE.. The only way that you maybe possibly test negative is if before you took the Xans your system was absolutely clean of Alprazolam & you pee as.many times as possible (Like all night long) but it would still be a VERY long shot
If your drug screens are NOT OBSERVED & you would like to know how to pass ALL your screens I can tell you... I've been taking them for years (Every week a actually) & have NEVER tested positive for anything that I didn't want to be in my system
Re: Roy (# 65)
Roy out of 60 some comments your comment actually address the ACTUAL ORIGINAL QUESTION lol My digging got me about that exact time frame... Alprazolam (Xanax) is different than almost every other benzodiazepine •BESIDES XANAX ER• bc it is VERY fast acting & by 1-2 hrs the Alprazolam will be at it's peak levels in your system.. Sooo to be on the safe side bc of those 'Peak Level' times I'm goin' to say within 30 MIN the Xanax should be detectable in your system Idk if you agree, but that's about where I'm at
According to EMS1, immediate release tablets and liquid Alprazolam reach peak blood levels within 45 minutes to 2 hours. Extended release Alprazolam takes slightly longer than that.
This site's drug half life calculator states that Alprazolam has an average half life of 15 hours.
Re: Tim (# 47)
This s***is hilarious Lmao, I was actually curious about the EXACT same thing, & came across this thread so started reading & about freakin chucked iPad across the room many times lol. I guess they DIDN'T understand Q at all or just peacockin w pharma info lol
I took peach tablets & was wondering if I had a UDS in 15-30 min would the Xanax have had enough time to be DETECTABLE (ENTERING system not LEAVING Smh) Sooo I totally understood your actual Q, but still have not seen a reply or answer that addresses your ACTUAL Q Lmao
Again the Q was: Time it takes to ENTER system & be detectable not LEAVING your system! I'm still actually looking for an answer if anyone knows tho Lmao
Re: Dr Martinez (# 12)
So taking a Xanax 14 hours before a urine test will end up being a passed drug test? How sure are you about that????
Re: Scared and anxious (# 53)
Unfortunately, yes. Look up the Mayo Clinic drug testing levels. Xanax is 100 LOQ (ng/mL). You took a lot in a short amount of time. Not enough time for your body to get rid of it and it was a high amount.
I took a 1mg Xanax 24 hrs ago and I'm going to take another 1mg Xanax tablet now I have 15 more hrs until my Dr's urine test. Wiil I test positive for benzo? Cause I need too! Please help if you can!!!
Re: Constance (# 16)
you probably failed because the amount you took lmk though
Of course. What makes you think that while you feel the affects of it that it possible won't be detected in your system? I'll tell you what you want to hear. No your clean. Lol
