Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I took a .25mg xanax on Monday evening for anxiety. I have had this script from when my mom passed in 2007. I have not taken this since 2007. I need to do a new employment physical Saturday at 1030 am with either a urine drug screen or a blood drug screen. I totally forgot about the screening, will this small amount be clear in either my urine or blood.
xanax has a variable half-life depending on various factors that ranges from 11 to 22 hours. For almost complete drug elimination 5 half lives are required. Which means that it may take at most 5 days to be fully (more than 95%) cleared, so I guess you're safe!
You can contact me again, if you'd like more information about it.
Kind Regards!
