Question HOW LONG WOULD ONE ISOLATED 1MG DOSE OF XANAX/ALPRAZOLAM TAKE
TO BE UNDETECTABLE IN A URINE ANALISIS ?
Answer Depending on your body composition up to 4 weeks - the more body fat you have the longer it will take - the leaner you are the faster it will be gone. The best option that you have (short of not taking it to begin with) is one of those systemic flushes that you can get at a health food store - they do work. Be sure to take a multivitamin after you do the flush to rebalance.
You (should already know) should not take medications that are not prescribed to you in the future and for the short term if you are within 4 weeks you are likely to come up positive unless you use a flush.
