Question
how long is xanax detectable in the urine? i used it one day only. i am not a regular user.
Hi Michelle,
Xanax is rapidly metabolized in the body, with a half life of around 4 hours. Metabolites of xanax remain in the body for about 24 hours. To be 100% sure, if you leave a gap of 48 hours the drug will not be detctable in urine.
