Well the peak plasma levels and the controlled release, result in the XR pills being at full potency for 5 hours and in your system in lesser amounts for another 6, so just the half-life, where the med is down to 50% of its peak concentration in your body is a long time period. If you ate high fat or cholesterol rich foods near the time you took it, then it is even longer as these slow the absorption rate. So the half-life, depending on your diet, can be as high as almost 17 hours.

So, since the elimination from your body slows after that, you are actually looking about 72 hours or so, before one pill is out of your system and undetectable in a drug test, and if they do a blood check, instead of just a urine, it will be detectable even longer.

I am assuming that since you are asking about this, it isn't something that is prescribed for you, or you wouldn't have to worry about it.

You should know that Benzodiazepines are nothing to play around with. They are very dangerous, easy to od on, and they are very highly addictive and the withdrawals as hellacious.

As long as you are legally prescribed it and you provide proof after a work related drug test is given you should not be penalized! However if the job feels that this medication may alter your ability to function at your job you might need a legal doctors note stating it will not impair you on the job! I am on a fairly high dosage of Xanax XR(6mg)! However it has never affected my ability to do my job

Benzodiazepines are not easy to od. People have been known to take 2000 mg of xanax with only minor toxicity. A quick google search can verify this. I would not recomend this. People run into trouble with benzodiazepines when they mix them with opiates leading to respitory depression.

2000 mg when the holder of the patent warns not to take more than 4 mg daily. I really doubt someone could live after ingesting the amount you suggest, despite what advice Google might offer?

I'm talking about toxicity buddy. Not therapeutic doses. Look up the concentration per kilo necessary to kill someone. The medical literature can be accessed via Google.

Look up the article titled "fatality due to alprazolam toxicity"

While much of what you say is correct, it's really very difficult to o.d. on benzos unless combined with alcohol. In that case, yes, a person can die from the combination due to resporatory suppression.
