Updated

I took 10 mg of Ativan on Saturday night and have a urine drug test today, Tuesday at 5:30. Will it be out by then?

Once I took 0.5 mg of Ativan on a mon. Had an interview 8 days later on a tues, and it still tested positive for benzodiazepines. It can take up to 14 days sometimes longer to pee clean again.

Ativan most definately veries from person to person..I have a drug test every month and as long as i give it 48 hours i have never once failed my labs..I have been doing this for almost 3 years now with no problems..Sometimes i wait 72 hours just to be safe..

I hadn't taken Adivan for a really long time, until yesterday. I took 10 of the 1mg (had a bad couple of days and gave up on myself) The last ones I took were at 6pm yesterday and I may get tested tonight or tomorrow and I am paniced. Been drinking pomegranate juice, water & detox tea like mad crazy.
1) are you sure i will be good 24hours from the last pill taken
2) is there anything I can do to speed the process??

How many hours will it take for my Ativan to show up in urine? I will be tested 3-4 hours after only consuming one 0.5mg dose. Also, does anyone know how long clean frozen urine will stay good?

The medication can/will show up in your urine within 1 he of taking the Ativan. Frozen urine is good for up to a year if kept frozen. Once thawed and re-warmed three times---you need to get fresh frozen and start over. Believe me, I get tested regularly and I've definitely had my experiences with subbing urine! ;-)

First I can't stand reading semesters to peeps q's that are dead wrong and obviously assumptions. Ativan is a benzodiazapine and benzos have 2 seperate mechanisms that cause a failed test . There are three types of benzos short acting , intermediate acting and long acting . The short acting meds have a urine detection time of only a few hours , the intermediate will be 1 to 2.5 days and the long 6 weeks. Ativan falls into the intermediate class. The other factor is metabolite s many benzos metabolize into other benzos in the system causing them to hang around in the body. For example Diazapam metabolizes into oxeazapam , tamazepam and nordiazepam which are all dead ringers for the use of benzos. But here is the good news ativan (lorazepam) has no active metabolites and is a 2 day urine clear. My scource is NORCHEM'S published research on benzos.

Here is a link to there pdf file: norchemlab.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/Benzodiazepines-facts.pdf.

The problem is that people assume that cuz one benzo. Metabolizes and ligers for 6 weeks that they all must which is simpley not true. When you are reading an artical about drug detection times and benzos says 1 day to 6 weeks

It depends on the type of testing. If the test is a simple drug panel dip test Ativan will show up depending on weight, metabolism, and other factors for 5-7 days. If the test being used is a GC - MS test it can show up for a much longer period. If its a hair sample it will show up for 6 months.

The website that was given is not an app. It is a link to a pdf file with Norchem's benzodiazepine fact sheet/study. If you click on it, it automatically downloads the file for instant viewing.
Thanks to AlliedCries for posting it.

I'm on the methodone clinic and unfortunately I dibble and dabble with benzos all the time. I have to agree with a couple of ppl-- it all depends on what benzo u take...Zanax has been out of my system as short as 72 hours where Volume has taken quite a bit longer(almost 2 weeks) and recently I've been taken atavain which I've only took a couple of times and I'm pending results on a drug test now...I REALLy hope I'm clean... Its been over 4 days and I will post whether I'm clean or not.....

Thought I would pass my experience along. First, a little background to put this in context. I am also on MMT (Methadone Maintenance) and have been for many years, and I have never had any urinalysis' come back positive for illicit meds, as I have taken nothing but Methadone since I began MMT (over a decade ago), other than non-addictive meds such as antibiotics for example.
Recently I have had 3 trips to the ER due to some symptoms I was having, and after going through many tests and seeing many drs (including a full cardiac workup), doctors kept insisting that I was just having panic/anxiety attacks. Well, I knew they were wrong and I now FINALLY have been diagnosed with a hiatal hernia.
ANYWAY...before this was found, the ER gave me some Ativan which helped tremendously with the anxiety I was experiencing (I had major anxiety due to the symptoms). Several weeks back I took a 1mg Ativan on a Thursday night and on the following Tuesday I had to give a UA, and it did come back showing positive for Ativan. SO- just know that Ativan obviously does not "get out of your system within a day," as I was surprised that the UA picked up ONE 1mg Ativan pill taken 5 days before the UA. I didn't receive any "punishment" for having it in my system because it was a short-term legit prescription.
Sorry for the length, but I just wanted to explain the circumstances involved. Bottom line: DO NOT assume that Ativan leaves your system in hours or even in a day or two, because evidently it CAN stay much longer (though it stays in your system the least of the big 3 benzos; Xanax has been shown to stay the longest, then Valium, then Ativan).
GOOD DAY ALL!

Don't give people bad info. Ativan will leave your system anywhere from 7 to 22 hours after ingested. It will NOT be in your systen 6 weeks after you take it. Weed is gone after 28 days. Ativan is the shortest acting benzo there is. No way it could ever be found in your system 6 weeks after your last dose it. SMH.

I agree David...I do not think Ativan would be in your system for a UA 6 weeks later. Although, I have to say that I was so surprised to have Ativan show up on my Urinalysis 5 days after ingested. I took a little over 1mg (probably 1 and a half mgs I suppose) on a Thursday night and I gave a urine sample at 5:30am on the following Tuesday and it came back positive. I was not expecting that...but now I know for the future just in case, if I ever have to take any again. I try to just stay away from benzos, as these past 2 months is the only time I've ever had to take any. I was amazed though at how effectively the Ativan was for the anxiety. It melted right away! I actually cried at how well it felt to have that anxiety gone for the first time in weeks, as what I was going through with feeling as if I had a rope tied around my esophagus was not fun. I now have a diagnosis of hiatal hernia and I feel 80% better since starting Nexium, but before that happened every doctor was trying to tell me that I was just having anxiety, and them not listening to me caused me even more anxiety, as if I needed more of that. So the few times I took Ativan, it helped me tremendously.

Hi Tracy-
Chances are- YES. If you read my story below, you'll see why I give this answer. I also attend a clinic and took 1 and 1/2mgs of Ativan on a Thursday night and when I was given a UA on the following Tuesday morn at 5:30am...it came back positive. I was surprised because I had researched it here and most say it is out of your system in hours, and I also knew it was the benzo that stays in your system the least amount of time, so I thought I was fine. But NOPE...I took that UA 5 days after taking Ativan (the only ones I have ever taken) and it came back positive. It was prescribed (a small prescription, as a result of an ER visit, but still, I didn't want to have a positive test.

Maybe you'll have a different experience! I wish you the best. Keep me updated on how it turns out.
