How Long Does Xanax Stay in Your System
The question of how long does Xanax stay in your system has many different answers depending on who you talk to. Xanax also known as alprazolam is in the Benzodiazapines (Benzo’s) family and most experts say that it stays in your system for 24 to 72 hours. It is stored in your liver and released in much of the same way sugars are. Three to four days is much safer if you are going to be tested for employment, longer if you are going be tested with more accurate and expensive machines that the government or parole officers use. The Urine Tests that a lot of employers use are a cheap test strip that don’t pick up on stored benzo’s in the liver.
So the the effects of How Long Does Xanax Stay in Your System will vary depending on who you talk to, the amount of time you have been taking it and your metabolism. If you have a prescription for these meds then you don’t need to worry about these tests.
On a personal note of someone who was on Xanax for over 9 years, I highly advise anyone from taking any Benzodiazapines. You do not want to get hooked on Xanax, Valium or Librium as they will mess up your life and brain with lasting effects. It took me approx. 1 year to quit Xanax and it was hell. In my personal opinion the effects of xanax on my brains have lasted approx. 1 year after I quit or stopped my prescription. Meaning I haven’t functioned normally untill just recently and it has been just over a year since I quit using Xanax.

What was your dosage on xanax? I have been on it for approx. 7 years. My prescribed dosage is 1mg. tid. I cant ever remember taking that much in a day. Lately the most I take is 1/4 of a tab for the day. My problem is that I am so caught up in the thought of getting off of it, the more I think of it, I work myself up, then have to take 1/4 of a pill. Some days I dont take any. Any suggestions about how to get hte thought out of my mind.

I was prescribed 3mg. per day and some days I took only 3mg., others i took 5 to 6mg. I also drank alcohol everyday with the xanax. Xanax addiction isn’t really about the amount of Xanax take. The Addiction is about how long you take xanax. Its good that you only take 1/4 of a tab or .25mg of xanax. I think it will cut down your time of quitting. I think the thought is there because you are addicted to xanax, once you are completely off it, you wont even think about it again. Quitting was very hard for me, exspecially when I got down to .25mg. I actually used a razor blade to shave it down. My last week on xanax I was only taking a piece a little bigger than a coarse grain of sand. Every time I did a cut back, I stayed on that dose for 1 to 2 weeks or until i felt ready to cut back again. When I started to quit Xanax I was cutting by .25mg. I hope this helped. Good luck you can do it.
