I have been using xanax about two bars a day. How long will it take for me to be able to pass a urine test? Im about 200lbs. And how do u deal with the withdrawals?
Hi Mack,
Xanax (Benzodiazepines) can be detected in your urine for up to 1-6 weeks after your last dose.
To get a bit more specific, the average elimination half-life of alprazolam (xanax) has been found to be about 11.2 hours (range: 6.3 to 26.9 hours) in healthy adults. Half-life here means that, say, 11 hours after ingesting Xanax, half of the active amount will be gone. This doesn't mean that 11 hours later, though, the other half will be gone. At that point half of the remainder will be gone, then another half after the same time interval, and so on, until the drug is eliminated from the body.
As far as avoiding withdrawals, usually for drugs like this the safest way to stop taking them is to tapper off them, if possible. Some medications can be taken in fractions (actually cut into pieces) and these smaller pieces can be taken in place of the regular dose for a period of several weeks until the body is no longer dependent upon them.
I hope this info helps!
