Hi Susan:
Xanax (brand name for alprazolam) is excreted from the body in the urine and the feces (stools). According to the Center for Disease Control, 95% of the drug is excreted within 120 hours i.e., five days, mainly in the urine (88%).
So it should still be detectable in the urine after 5 days.
Alprazolam is a type of benzodiazepine. The detection period in the urine for benzodiazepines in general is 3 - 7 days.
If you have a prescription for Xanax, tell your employer and show them your
prescription. If you don't have a prescription for it, good luck. Unfortunately, you will probably get caught, because employers are known for surprise urine tests.
Hope this helps,
Dr. Diana Walcutt
