How Long Does Klonopin And Xanax Stay In Your System?

Updated

i was diagnosed with panic disorder and given xanax but then changed to klonopin last may of 09 as it has a longer half life and controls anxiety better. now i have to take a drug screen for a new job. just curious and will provide the rx.

If you have a valid prescription, then there is no need to worry, just provide them with that information, when you go in for the test and be prepared to give them proof, if they ask for it. They can't deny you the use of legally prescribed medications, except for certain jobs, such as being an airplane pilot.

And to answer you initial questions, Benzodiazepines can take 5 to 6 days to clear your system.

if your script is no good or expired go to the hospital and tell them your having a panic attack and ask for something to help there give you a benzo probably adivan. just show tne hospit. al paper to the drug lab and you should have no problem . the test usually clump all benzoes together anyway

up to a month depending how many you took... a week if it was a couple... if you take em daily it builds up so does your tolerance and it stays in your system longer.. 30 days ... years of use 45 or more... guesstimate.. but i know my stuff

Well, I lost my Xanax because I had Klonopin in my system, so they can tell the difference now between the 2. The doctor had give me the Klopin a couple months earlier and tried to explain it to her but she says in the contract your suppose to eliminate or bring the old pills back in. Just now got my Klopin back after almost a year.

No they can distinguish between diff types of benzo at the labs. I. Was taking Xanax an got some klonipin from friend to take thinking the couldn't tell the diff. I thought it would just show benzo but they distinguished the two separately

9 times out of 10 the test MOST (not all) widely used will show Xanax and Klonopin simply as Benzodiazepines therefore no harm no foul..... However if this is a doctor checking your levels or a court appointed "officer" who happens to be a real pri... Stickler for the rules then you may have some cause for worry just remember folks there test cost money and the more sophisticated they get the more expensive it's going to be so first think about who and why you are being tested and then ask your self how much would this person spend for a test if you line in a fairly rich community they suppose little expense I'd it's for a job most smaller companies will use your strangers stick dip urine test or make you pay for a better one and if you are really worried and can afford to go to your local pharmacy, Head Shop or just hop onto the trusty old internet where you can purchase any multitudes of drug tests that you can then use to "pre" test yourself and I'm not saying to try or do anything illegally but again if I could afford it I would buy a bunch and try to find a way or ways to beat them because that is information worth knowing and there are a lot of people that would love to GET sold off that information who knows maybe if I win the lottery because they cost anywhere between $20 on the low-end (usually a basic tests for marijuana) and up to and well over $100+ depending on what substance(s) you are wanting to test for and how accurate you want to be you can even find labs that will send a specimen cup and you send it back and they will send you your results.. for a price of course... please just remember to use common sense and Be Intelligent, Be Aware, Be Considerate, Be Responsible, & most important of all Be Careful & Be safe.

I am on a methadone program. I take klonipin.... On the lab tests, its never came up, on the insta cup tests they do.... They ARE grouped as benzos, however, you can request further testing for levels and for which benzo it is. .
