How Do You Get Benzodiazepine Out Of Your Urine

Updated

Okay, I am a former benzo abuser, mainly xanax. Many of the information on here is incorrect. Yes, benzos can be dected in the system for up to a month, but this is only true if you use it everyday and typically abuse it. However, if you take a benzos very rarely then it can only be detected for 2 to 3 days. Your metabolism and body fat play a big factor. If you are in good shape and exercise pretty regularly then the drug will exit your system quicker. If you have a higher body fat and lower metabolism then it can stay in a bit longer. I went to rehab for xanax and it was still in my system for over 3 weeks. I quit using xanax for months, but I had a close friend pass away and I became very anxious and depressed. My mother gave me a few of her xanax which I took over a 2 day period. I had to take a urine test for probation 3 days later and I passed. So yes if you use and abuse benzos on a daily basis then it will show up in your urine for weeks, but if you take it one time out of the blue then it will be out of your system pretty quickly.

Thank you this was the same kind of situation I am and I go to a soup box in clinic and had a tragedy in the family so I took 1.5 mg of Xanax one day and I have a drug test and three days and I haven't used any type of benzo and more than three weeks so I should be OK? And whenever I used before it was only maybe a total of 1.5 mga a couple times a month

I meant suboxone and I'm on my last strike even though my old doctor never striked me before and this new guy comes in and says I have one more chance after never failing a test under him!!! Would rather not get kicked out

Long term benzodiazepine user. More specifically diazepam 2mg, 5mg and 10mg. I am prescribed these drugs along with nitrazepam (Mogadon). I'm an engineer and I have to drive. There is only one way to eliminate these from a urine test. Use a blocker from a local shop that flushes cannabis as benzodiazepines bind to fat cells as do cannabinoids or thc. This gives you a window. What not to do is exercise as this only makes it more likely to fail. More specifically, on your test day whether your a man or woman, when you start to pee take the sample mid stream. So not at the start or end and before the test drink and dilute you're bladder with as much water as possible.

Option 2, is to get clean urine sample from a friend and if you have enough privacy to use it, use it. Tips to this are pre test hold the urine sample bottle in a kettle to he's to 100 degrees and then either put under you're arm or up you're blah blah. Also you can heat it and use heat patches to keep sample warm. If you're going tho route be sure to buy a heat temp strip for your bottle or container. Lifes a game and in every game cheats win xx

That may be true for you but that is not my experience. I am a 5'9' 165lb female and took 5mg of Valium 14 days ago. I had not taken anything in the previous six months. I am still testing positive with at-home drug tests.

Thank god for your post. I am on Suboxone and have a urine screen in 6 days. I have depression and anxiety and my therapy dog of 10 years passed unexpectedly. Its pushed close to edge. My mom gave me a few of her 0.5 mg Xanax and I was terrified they would show up making me feel even more horrible if that's possible

I hate to rain on the ego parade but I was prescribed clonazepam .5 mg for anxiety a few months ago. I was having palpatations that the Doc thought was a panic attack. Anyway... I took 1 per day for about 5 days but the symptoms were getting worse, so I stopped. Now, 40 days later, I am still positive for benzos . NOT A CHRONIC USER!
What I am is worried, because everyone seems so very convinced that the only way I could still have positive benzos is that I am abusing the drug.
