Q: I took half of a 2 mg Xanax about 24 hours ago. Will it still show up in a urinary drug screen?
Suzie...were you prescribed the Xanax? If so...this is not a problem. If you are taking this drug without a prescription...yes it is a problem.
The on-line literature on this estimates that it may take 2-8 days for a benzo to be out of your system.
