Depends on a lot of factors. If you took just a single dose (and haven't been using it before), and that dose was an average dose (doses range from 0.5 to 2mg, assume 1mg is average), than it should be out of yoru system (urine test wise) in 3 days. However I would give it 4-5 days to err on the side of caution and also because metabolism for each person is different. Now if you take it consistently, then levels have built up in your system. It would take 7+ days to clear.

Alprazolam has an average half-life of 11.2 hours. The half-life is the time it takes for half of the medication to clear your system. Therefore, if you took a dose of 1mg at noon on Monday, there would be .5 mg in your system at 11:12 p.m. At 10:24 a.m. Tuesday, there would be .25 mg in your system, etc.

Simple answer: it doesn't. Very few or no drugs are directly detectable in the urine. Your body, primarily your liver, turn drugs into other chemicals called metabolites. Each drug has its own particular metabolite, and it this that is tested for in a urine sample.

Alprazolam has a longer half-life than most other drugs, so its metabolite may be detected for 3 weeks, more or less.

What does xanex show up as in a drug test?

alprazolam.....and it is a benzodiazepine (like diazepam which is valium). The benzodiazepines have metabolites, which are the chemicals resulting when the original chemical...the alprazolam....breaks down as it is metabolized and exerts it's effect on the body. The alprazolam will show up in the urine for a couple of days, but the metabolites stay in system even longer, meaning if you take one xanax...one alprazolam...it can be detected in the urine up to 8 days later

On a drug test do Ativan and xanax show as the same thing?

In regular drug-test for jobs or at home drug test it will show up as a benzodiazepine, BUT if you are on probation or its an extended drug test and they send it into a lab they can tell the difference between the chemical makeup of the drug xanax is alprazolam and ativan is lorazepam. so basically if your urine gets sent to a lab then you will fail. oh and also xanax can show up as a false positive for oxazepam it happend to me recently
