Brief Answer:
Please seek help immediately

Detailed Answer:
thank you for the question.

It is very difficult to predict how long these medications will stay in your system. It will certainly be many days. I think with your degree of difficulty managing your current medication regimen it is extremely important that you see a physician immediately.

Please proceed to your local emergency room or call your local physician as soon as possible.

Dear Sir
I appreciate you. However "many days" did not answer. Normally I do not carry them with me but I had just picked them up at Walmart. I noticed my purse was missing when I was reaching for cereal. You assuming that I mismanage my medications is the exact reason I did not call my Dr and tell her. A woman I go to church with car was broken into and they took her purse with medication. When she reported it she was dismissed by her Dr. My Husband works at a program at church and counsels people with addictive problems. I used to work with the women but I do not attend do to my back and fibro. Your short and I'm sorry to say accusatory answer did not help. IS THERE A FORMULA FOR FIGURING THIS OUT? I do know it is illegal to take others medication. I did not know what else to do. I looked up the equivalent between Valium and xanax. It may have been wrong. You must admit if anyone looses their medications. As in go to the hospital you and everyone ASSUMES people are addicted or worse. Tell me sir. What is a person supposed to do?

Not to mention cash, credit cards, XXXXXXX card. My daughters XXXXXXX numbers. My debit card my checkbook and my IPhone. What a freaking nightmare. If I am asked by my Drbvivwill tell the truth. Then I guess I'll be released.
