how long does the pill xanax stay in your system
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

If you have never taken Xanax 2mg before and some one puts them in your food or drank how long will it take to be out of your system approx. 6-7 pills given at one time.
