I took a 1mg xanax at 12:30pm and have to take a drug screen at 2:00pm the same day will it be detected in my urine
Re: McConnell 84 (# 66)
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.

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
Re: Mason (# 56)
I meant 36-48 hours after taking it. Not days. lol
The original poster in this thread (among many others) want their urine to test positive for xanax. Their doctor is checking their urine to make sure they are taking the xanax. Unfortunately, based on many of the questions in this thread, these people are not taking the xanax that's prescribed to them. They're selling it.
What really irks me is that they're most likely on medicaid and getting the xanax for free. Then they go sell it on the street. Then, when their doctor orders a UA they come running on here saying "oh please help me"!! No, I hope you medicaid fraud dealers rot in JAIL. You're committing several felonies including fraud and sale of a controlled substance.
Re: Scared and anxious (# 55)
It's going to show up in your blood. No doubt about it. Xanax has extremely high bioavailability and actually peaks in the blood approximately 2 hours after taking it. It enters the blood with 10-15 minutes of taking it. Based on the mean half life the xanax will still show up in your blood up to 36=48 days after taking it.
So, yes, again... It IS going to show up in a blood test. I'd hire a good lawyer ASAP.
My saliva test showed nothing and they tossed out the second blood test. Should I still be worried or is it true that it takes 24-48 hours before it shows up in your blood?
Re: Scared and anxious (# 53)
I had a fatal one car accident. I was legally on methadone and Xanax at the time. I was taken to the hospital and examined and blood was taken. I was released. 4 months later I faced dwi, and manslaughter 2, some mv charges. 6 mo later sentenced to 6 yrs. Connecticut. 1999
Re: Dr Martinez (# 12)
I was in an accident yesterday about an hour before I took a 2mg bar of xanax and about a bar and a half earlier in the day. I took a bar the night before as well. They took my blood at the station. Should I be worried?
Re: Dr Martinez (# 12)
If a took one of my prescribed Xanax and than got sick 20 minutes later, do you think it still will work or should I take another one
Re: Dr Martinez (# 12)
If I take 4 xanex at 6:30 pm and have a drug test at 10 the next morning will it show up
She needs it in her system geez read the poor girls question.
Unfortunately it stays in your system up to 4 days. The only thing I can say to you is to drink about 2 gallons of water. This way you'll piss straight water which they might say it's diluted but just tell them that you drink a lot of water because you train hard.
