Hi Alison.. As everybody knows alprazolam is short acting Benzo. As you stated you took it six weeks ago and the drug itself would be out of your system. Test yourself prior to the screening to ease your concerns. Good luck.

I just got my negative result this am. I had an old prescription for Xanax 2011 which was for prn use. Had a big test at school 2 weeks ago and took 0.5mg. After passing that exam I had to get a 10 panel drug test for clinicals. Didn't take the xanax for 15 days, told my NP (who wrote the rx 3 years ago) about my concerns. She wrote a memo on a script that said she had given my xanax prn only in 2011 and said not to bring it up unless an mro asked bc it's got a short half life and probably wouldn't show up. I was just so afraid bc the rx was expired. Anyway, I take 0.5mg to .75mg once a week usually. Got my negative results this am! So relieved! I am 28 5'1" 126 lbs and have hypothyroidism (take synthroid) which I guess also helped my metabolism. Hope this helps, good luck.

depending on what parameters they set i think u will be fine drink lots of water DONT take any more DUH and pee mid stream, most all your metabolites are in the beginning and end. Good luck i dont take anything anymore it gets tough when i have panic attacks but i found if i stayed away from certain people and took a different outlook on my job & life I could control it 90 % of the time There are occasions where I NEED them and I saved enough for those occasions and i need very little I went fro 120 bars to 2 mgs of klonopin in 3 days! and within a month was at 1mg or under and then just SLOWLY tapered off over 3 months until one day i forgot and i went to bed one night and said oh s*** I did it !! I had been on them for over 10 years THEY are Brain erasers get off them please if u can They killed my twin brother last year along with to much to drink He never woke up So i know You do not want to live that horror horror show!

I have a drug test coming up tomorrow and am worried about it.

I take suboxone and recently started with a new doctor since my old doctor moved and it was too far for me to travel. I had established a very good and trusting relationship with my old doctor and as a result he had no problem letting me continue to be prescribed Xanax on a as needed basis. I have never abused Xanax and only take .25-.50 mg very rarely. Of course my new doctor isn't okay with any benzo use, ever. I had no choice but to not bring it up in my consultation because I have no where else to go for my suboxone. So though I still legally have a prescription, they don't allow it to be taken. Well late Thursday night I started having a panic attack. I tried everything I could to get it to go away without taking the Xanax but eventually had no choice and took .25 mg. Now, tomorrow at 1:30 (about 4 1/2 days later) I have my suboxone appointment and am worried it will show up. I have never had a dirty drug test (other than when I first got on the program 2 years ago) and have no idea what will happen.

I personally think its a bit crazy that I am denied the ability to take a medicine I really need because some people abuse the combination. I maybe take 1 a month if that and would have no problem bringing the Xanax bottle in at each appt to show I am not abusing them, but with most all sub doctors, benzos are an immediate no, with no discussion allowed.

I will update tomorrow afternoon with the results of my drug test.

I had those drug tests all the time, if a faint line shows up at my clinic than its a positive for benzos.

Drink a gallon of water the night before your test than drink more before the test. When giving your specimen give the pee mid stream. A lot of the toxins come out first, so make sure to put the cup under after you have peed for a sec. Also you could always get someone else's pee. Just have a thermometer with you and make sure the temp is just right. You can do that by putting the per in a little med bottle than microwave some boiling water, drop the bottle of pee in the water, take it with you to the test site, test the pee before you go in get it to be about 100 degrees because the temp will drop while you are in the waiting room. Keep the pee close to your body. Good luck

I have read on web MD but they are not always completely accurate thatXanax remains in the bloodstream long after its anti-anxiety effects have worn off. Xanax’s average half-life is 11 hours. This means that it takes an average of 11 hours for the body to eliminate half the Xanax dose. In older or obese people, or those with liver disease, Xanax’s half-life is longer, as long as 40 hours.

It takes several half-lives to eliminate a drug completely. So for most people, there may still be a small fraction of Xanax in your blood two days or more after taking a single pill.

I'm legally prescribed suboxone and xanax daily... so no, suboxone and xanax won't kill you ...as I am clearly still alive rebutting your inaccurate post.
