Xanax, A Nostrum for Anxiety Disorders
Before getting into the intricacies of how long does xanax stay in your system, it is really good that we understand the dosage, administration and usage of xanax.
Xanax Response to Depression
Every individual faces stress, tension or anxiety due to hectic routine of daily work, but it does not require any medication. If the problem persists for more than six months then it has to be looked after. Xanax is very helpful for such persons, who have symptoms of depression. Xanax is also recommended for panic disorders.
SleepWell (Herbal XANAX) is a medicine for managing insomnia. It contains
only herbal components that make it safe and side-effects-free. Because of
this fact SleepWell can be taken without a prescription. Also this remedy
gives a depression relief effect.
Administration and Dosage
To get maximum benefit out of xanax, the dosage should be individualized. The normal dosage starts from 0.25mg to 0.5mg three times daily. The maximum dosage for this tablet is 4 mg and can be divided into three doses. For continuing the treatment, reassessment of the patient is essential. The patients may tend to depend on Xanax when the dosage and the duration of the treatment continue for the long period. In order to avoid withdrawal symptoms patients have to reduce the dosage gradually.
To be successful in panic disorder treatment, 1mg to10 mg of Xanax is to be given. The dosage of 5mg-6 mg of Xanax is approximately given daily to the affected patients. Some of them require a maximum of 10 mg of Xanax every day to get a positive response. The dosage should start with a minimum of 0.25 or 0.5 mg daily and increased after three to five days to 1 mg daily. The dosage should be distributed evenly throughout the day. To reduce the adverse effects, minimum dosage is advisable to the patients. Avoid abrupt discontinuation of taking medicine since it is very likely to result in adverse effects. A gradual decrease in dosage leading to getting rid of the medication can lessen chances of getting addicted.
Uses of Alprazolam
Alprazolam (brand name is Xanax) comes under the category of benzodiazepines. The benzodiazepines are capable of activating central nervous system to produce calmness. As the human body contains some natural chemical such as GABA, Alprazolam works with it and bring positive effects.
How long does Xanax stay in your system?
Xanax comes under the group of medicines known as benzodiazepines. The antidepressants such as valium and librium also come under this group of medicines. They give effective results if the dosage is taken properly. The dosage varies from person to person. If you want to know how long xanax does stay in your system, the answer is not very simple. Because it depends upon how long Xanax has been taken as a drug, what is the dosage, age, and length of the treatment Xanax generally tends to stay in the blood for nearly one to one and half days and it is evident in urine for a week.

Alprazolam is xanax. Hence the same holds good for this too. But ensure that you keep away from drugs for at least 15-20 days if you are an occasional user before going for the urine test.

Mindy, I was in a methadone clinic for two years. You are signing your own life away missing a benzo with methadone. The methadone will only show up if they test for methadone, it is like suboxone it does not show up as a true opiate. Leave why it really doesnt show up to the experts I am just going from experience. There is a chance the benzo will show in your system which is the XANAX not a Z. During my treatment at the clinic that was one the biggest no no’s you can do. I hope you get clean and sober through this program. Because if you are mixing xanax and methadone to get high at 17, you will be tracking up your arms by time your 20. Stope while you can!

mindy,
i am going through the same thing. i did some research and talked to my doctor. if you use occasionaly in can take 3-5 days. if you use heavily like everyday in can take 6-8 weeks for the xanax to be gone. i dont know about the methadone i dont do that shit. my best friend od and died on that. dont let that be you. disregard the fucking asshole that responded to you as a whore, you are just going through some things and i totally understand. i’ve been thruogh this before and i’ve learned that you have to learn from your mistakes. this will all pass soon enough. you can e mail me if you need to. good luck.

Mindy,
I am not trying to be your mother or bitch at you by far. However, as an addict in Recovery for 2 years and 2 months… I’m advising you not to take Methadone and Xanex at the same time, in the same day, or within 3 days of eachother. Methadone and Xanex mixed is a lethal combination. I promise you that there isn’t anything you have taken that I haven’t, but please take my advise. Look up the overdose rate for a Methadone and Xanex mixture. You will not get good results. Just telling you. It may save your life!!!

You will have no problem passing your drug test! Both of those drugs stay in your system for about 3 days! It does depend on how often and how much you use but from your question I gather that you only used a little and only on those two occasions! You have nothing to worry about!

I will tell you from my personal experience because I had a drug test the next day after I had taken .50mg. . I want to give you all the facts. First of all I am about 40 lbs overweight. I took the Xanax around 130 am and had the drug test around 4pm the next day. I was nervous but I was straight because I knew I had a prescription for the medication which I could readily provide to my employer. I took the test and the administrator looked at the results for about a minute then she took it out and had someone else look at it. She then came back and told me I was OK to return to work. Thus it must have given some odd result after being in my system for nearly 12 plus hours. But I passed the test.

Xanax is a benzodiazepine. This tends to get detected in the system for 24-72 hours. This is for an occasional user. It is better that you keep away from drug for at least 1 month to 40 days before you take up urine tests. this would be absolutely safe.

Benzodiazepines action is pronounced for the first few hours. Precisely for around 6-8 hours. However, they get detected for the next 3 days time for a one time or a very occasional user. for an acute user, it tends to stay for very long. It also depends on body metabolism, age and other factors. If you have a prescription for them. Just don’t worry

Valium is a Benzodiazepine. Being one, if the user is a very rare user then it may take 3 days or so. Within this time it will get detected in urine. But if you are a very frequent user, it will stay in urine for long for around 6 days and more. Very choric users will have valium in urine for even 30 days

heres a straight answer from an addict whos been through this alot. one time use- 3 days to a week, frequent use anywhere from two weeks to a month. breakdown for other drugs: assuming the person is using regularly
weed- up to a month
coke- 2 to 3 days but can take up to a week
opiates- 2 to 3 days but can take up to a week
hope this has been helpful, p.s. drug testing is weak, and our drug laws are ridiculous.

yeah, i can confirm this also. i am a pharmacy technician and know that while you may not necessarily have a seizure if you stop taking xanax, it is a possibility. especially if you have been taking the drug for a long period of time. if someone has been taking xanax prescribed to them for years, a doctor usually will not take that person off the drug for this reason and others, unless they caught abusing the drug.

I was taking about 5-6mg Xanax mixing it with temezapan, diazapam, Ativan and other benzos for months…. Then one day I just stopped….
Had nose bleed, headaches, anxiety etc,
… All those symptoms resolved once I started iv-ing heroin everyday,
it is sooooo hard to stop even though I’ve only been taking smack for a few weeks
I think about it every minute of everyday, I’ve spent over 3k in less than a few weeks,
I don’t know why I started to do this? I hope u pass ur test good luck, it’s not so easy to just stop…just like everyone says… I know….. Even as much as I WANT to can’t…
I don’t want to do this… But as I’m on my iPhone replying to this thread my boyfriend and I out heading to get on, we are doing 160km down the highway trying to get to dealer on time. This isn’t what my life is supposed to be coming to… I’m 25, I have a son… We are here now gotta go..

I can feel your anguish in the few short sentences your wrote here. Nothing in life is ever easy, ever. YOU CAN DO IT. You can get off these drugs and move on with your life but like anything you have to really want it.
You need to have good people in your life who will support you and not knock you down. I watched my Dad die from abuse. I didn’t know how to help nor will I claim to be able to help you. I can tell you, YOU CAN DO IT. You’re no different than the hundreds of thousands of people who beat there addicitons.
At 25 you have so much to live for.
A life where you find yourself racing to get drugs is no life no matter how good you think those drugs are making you feel at the moment.
I don’t have to tell you that… I know. Sometimes though I wish I had been a better friend to my Father. I understand your suffering I do.
Don’t let any one or any THING drag you down. There is so much life out there, if you’re only willing to find it.
I have hope one day you will know what it is to be clean and not have to ever think about it again.
IT truly is one day at a time. Find GOOD people, let them in, ask for help AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, allow yourself to be helped.

This website is a bit misleading…Xanax should not be given to individuals for Depression. Benzos shrink your BDNF hormone (growth hormone, and hormone responsible for making new memories) and frontal cortex, putting one at a much higher risk for Depression. Also, it’s impossible to answer anyone’s question on here because there are multiple factors that contribute to how long Xanax stays in all of our systems (i.e. body chemistry, length of use, amount used, exercise, diet). If I were you, go by the 24-72 hours one time use as a base, and make sure you take into account some of the factors that determine how long it would be in your system (Am I exercising regularly? This would excrete the drug out of your system two-fold)
[Reply]
alright…perhaps this will clarify a few things. im 24, been on probation, been to jail etc. etc. mainly over drug charge bullshit. but, inna way. imma pro when it comes to getting away with what the man tells you, you cannot do… shit like cocaine, and opiates, (heroin, oxy’s) you can fucking bank on 3 days, no more then 5, if u hit it haaaaaard. but xanax can be tricky, ive known a few friends that i guess had a different metabolism then me… for ME xanax will not stay longer than 3 days. i drug test myself all the time b4 i see my probation officer. and i would normally eat 3-6 bars on the night when i used, (yes yes i know, i have waken up to many fat chicks)… but seriously, for the most part, if u eat a low dose, bank on giving it 5 whole days, and ull be good. IF you have ur test coming up real quick, where ur worried about it. fucking WATER UP@@@@~!@!~ water and cranberry juice works miracles, for weed,powder,dope,dones, whatever…. and by the way, if ur mixing xanax and methadone, just go ahead and shoot urself in the head now. take my word for it. ur lucky ur still alive. this’s coming from a man thats been to the ER many times…. or save urself all the trouble, get a girlfriend with big tits and likes to stay home having sex and watching action flicks… thats my best advice. the dope game gets old. best believe, xanax is some fucking dope… if ur taking it just to take it.

If you are so worried go to your local pharmacy and buy a drug test. Personally i dont know what the big hype is about xanax. Ive tried it and the shit makes me tired. If you want to treat anxiety try a little weed, it works great. Unfortunately i cant toke down no more. My doc has me on kolonopin which works great,it mellows you out. And now i sleep like a baby suckin on a tit. some of you people got some real issues.

Actually… Weed does not help with anxiety, it can certainly make it worse. As far as any form on benzo addiction for recreational use, it’s nearly impossible to ever kick the craving once you start taking exceeded doses just here in there in binges of more than 4mgs at a time or if you are prescribed a daily dose in long term planning by a doctor either way It’s a dead end street! As far as methadone…. Had a Good friend OD on methadone & a benzos combination at the age of 19 almost 5 years ago and it was the 1st time he ever mixed it. So, as also a recovering addict of benzo’s. Try natural alternative such as Passion Flower, Viteman B12, St Johns wort and at night melatonin. Or…. you only head one way. Period.

WoW ! This is some website. First we have the users, the addicts, the junkies. (As am I ) Then we have the angry, self righteous people who spit fire at the users comments like
“Get off the DOPE loser”
“You people are crazy!”
“I can’t listen to anymore of your nonsense people !!”
Let’s make something very clear. If you want to BASH people on this site, for simply commenting on their addictions, their fears, their demons and their struggles, then please go do it somewhere else. It truly is not welcomed here.
I’m sorry but I cannot stand ignorance. YES, ignorance my angry friend. Those who spit the fire NO NOTHING of what they say. Have never experienced the chase, the crave, the demon whispering in your ear, “JUST ONE MORE………”
IF YOU DID, I assure you, that you would be suggesting help or offering up a war story for advice through your own dark memory of experience.
This is NOT a joke. This is real! This is called addiction. There are 2 options when you become an addict.
1. Continue to be an addict and DIE
2. Continue to be an addict and get CLEAN
See, once an addict, always an addict. There is no denying that. You don’t get clean one day and then POOF, you’re no longer an addict. HA ~ That would truly be a miracle of a higher being.
NO NO NO.. It is quite the contrary. See, once you stop using, you constantly battle the whisper. Gently as it articulates 3 suttle words in your ear, “ONE MORE TIME”, you embark on a DAILY mission to overcome the temptation. To overcome the memory of warmth.. The memories of relaxation. The memories of the high.. Ahhhh.. The High !
Quickly this all flies through your mind within miliseconds. THEN BAM !!!!!! Within the next 4 to 5 miliseconds, you are remembering the DOWN ! FUCK THE HIGH ! The DOWN ! OMG NOT THE COME DOWN ~
The shakes, the pains, the craves, the sweats, the cramps, the FUCKING JONES !
The shakes, the pains, the craves, the sweats, the cramps, the FUCKING JONES ! (It is SO BAD that it was worth repeating twice)
You see, ONE DAY AT A TIME is the motto. The reason is because once you are an addict, you always are an addict. It literally takes all of your energy and all of your effort to withstand the Whisper.. EVERY SINGLE DAY you remain sober.
Now, for all of you non users who are on this page and feel that you have this divine power to BASH those who are on here writing for different purposes. I want you to listen and listen good.
DON’T come here ANYMORE ! See, I know you basher. I know you to well. Although you do not hear the Whisper, please do not think that you are NOT sesceptible to it~
See, the whisper comes in many foreign tongues. It comes in the tongue of envy.. The tongue of jealousy.. It articulates well when translated through greed.. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT BEEN ADDICTED TO A DRUG, does not mean that you are not addicted or poisoned by something else.
Money, Power, Materialism, Alcohol, Gambling, Hostility, Agression, Pain, Lonliness, Sadness, Solitude, INSECURITY !
Yes.. Insecurity.. Please do not forget the whisper of insecurity. WE ALL HAVE IT ! Guess what?? So do you BASHER !
Don’t be afraid. Embrace this. Embrace my letter. Learn from it. I am NOT bashing YOU !! PLEASE PLEASE do not take it that way.
I am mearly a VOICE who is speaking aloud to educate those who have been blessed to NOT have learned through the experiences that WE HAVE.
YES, I said the BLESSED ! See, you basher, you are the BLESSED ! You have NOT interpreted the whisper YET ! You cannot translate the tongue.. You are lucky.
WE, on the other hand, have heard the whisper. We have heard it become the ROAR that it truly is. The ferocious BEAST that lies beneath all of our beds and presents itself during our most difficult of times.
WE are healing though. ONE DAY AT TIME ! We have become the VOICES that speak out against the whisper. To help those who still hear the WHISPER loud and clear. LISTEN TO ME ! You can save yourself.. You can be CLEAN ! You can become a VOICE rather than just a victim.
YOU will ALWAYS be an addict, so realize that now. DON’T be ashamed of what you are. BE EXCITED FOR WHO YOU CAN BECOME !
Be excited to start new! To start fresh ! To not listen to ANYONE or ANYTHING but your HEART !!
When the Whisper says, ONE MORE TIME, Be strong enough to say, Nah Man.. I’m good ! LOL…
Trust me when I tell you this. If you are able to concentrate long enough to finish my letter, then obviously YOU WANT TO CHANGE !
The next step is yours.

To douche, that is a good name for you, just add bag to complete the name. I was injured in the Persian Gulkf and I still have shrapnel in my body. I was first given the standard pain medicine Morphine, then I underwent over 100 surgeries. Oxycontin was not availanle at the time, so I toiok demeral injections at home for severe breakthrough pain, and I was taking 4 mg of Dilaudid prn, then I was placed on a massive dose of Oxycontin, with 10 mg. oxy ir for breahthrough pain. About 1 year ago I was told that my mother would probably be gone by Christmas 2009, because these diot doctors where we live misread her PEt scan, and treated her for a cyst and did not do anything about the 2 tennis balkl sized tumors in her colon. She had surgery which we were toold she could not have due to the radiation she had received, but I took her to the Hollings Cancer Institute in Charleston S.C. and they said the surgery was very dangerous and there was a good chance that she would not make it off the table. I told the Dr,. I would be in my room across the street and they called me every hour. They said that her surgery could not have went any better and although she has a colonostomy she is cancer free, I was put on Xanax as I lost my fater at age 57 in 1980 due to this same disease and he went through hell. I was on the verge of having a nervous break down as I had been caring for my mother for 5 years at the time when they said they cured her cancer with radiation. We are going to file a malpractice suit this month against her entire local cancer team. My mother is all the famnily I have.I am not married and I have no kids, I was injured when I was 29 and I am 100 % disabled and I got trained in precious metals buying and as well as becoming a professional coin dealer and I make a good living, and I had to pay to redo my mom;s home to make it handicap accesible. I put in a new bathroom wityh a hidrotherapy tub, and a handicap toilet and I replaced alkl of her applainces that came with her new home in 2001.
As for douchebag you need to know why people are taking medication before calling them drug abusers. By the way, how many tours did you serve in Iraq and Afghanistan> Make up a good lie and tell us you are a Navy Seal or a member of the Delta Force. I was a navak Aviator and I was not injured di=ue to enemy action, I was injured when I landed aboard the carrier and the catch cable failed and I hit the water inverted with the ejection seat rockets only into about 1.2 secong=d o=f their burn. I woke up on the Hospital ship and the sent to Germany then to Walter Reed where my father spent all of 1969 at. He served from 1941 until 1971.I then spent a year at a rehab hospital. So know what your talking about douchebag. You are a punk and a loser. Before my injuries I never used any drugs,including alcohol.

Is there any kind of anti siesure med that one can take to ward off the risk of the problems associated with xanax withdrawl. My doctor just gave me my last 15 .5 mil. bottle. I am having a half pill every 3 days.Trying to ween my self off.Anyone out there tried this method and does it work.Ive been taking one a day for for 2 years. I have some shaky feelings and hot flashes some times i feel like my heart skips a beat.I also am take clonidine for high blood presure. I think this might be keeping some of the withdrawl from getting too bad.It is a b p med but also is used to help people get off alcohol cigs and meth. If anyone can relate to my rambling please speak up. THANKS

Jimbo.. 1st off. Dont bother answering a guy like the Douche. He is just trying to get a response from you. he has no interest in anything you say..
As for ANY withdrawals are concerned, I am big fan of the Saboxone. For some reason Saboxone allows all the physical withdrawals to be eliminated. Its a wonder drug. You will hear stories that you have to THEN come off of the saboxone too. NOT TRUE !
One thing you have to realize is that MOST withdrawal, except for the 4 or 5 days of physical bs you have to go through, is really just mental.
In order to get saboxone, you have to see a Dr that prescribes it. (If you live in NJ, I can refer one to you). Then you go for a checkup and he starts you off with about 1 weeks worth. (he wants you coming back in every week so he can monitor you)
Believe me, 1 week is plenty. Figure he gives you 3 8Mg. pills er day for 7 days. Thats 21 pills. You will need MAYBE 3? LOL. Sell the rest for all I care. They go for about $20.00 on the street.
Take the pill and break it in 1/2. The take the 1/2 and break that 1/2 into another 1/2. You will essentially have an 1/4 of the pill to eat.
Take 1/4 of the pill in the am and then in the pm. If you still feel shitty, then eat another 1/4. always place them under your tongue and let them disolve. In about 10 minutes you will feel fine.
Be careful of the dose because if you eat more than you need, you will probably get high from it.
Thats it Jimbo.. no worries. AND REMEMBER, most of it is in your head amigo ! Be stronger.. Dont listen to too many whispers..
Let me know how you make out buddy..

How long have you been clean? I just wanted to say that Im glad you Fought the “WHISPER” I know how hard it is to not listen, although i give into it once in awhile im doing my very best to say “nah man im good”….lol. As for saboxon I had very unusual side effects off it myself, It was strange and no one i know has ever experienced it themselves, have you ever heard of it effecting anyone badly?? I havent used it since and it happened twice. I think its funny, not ha ha funny but uh funny…lol that all the really smart and articulate ppl are drug users. I’m giving you a complement by the way. Hope to hear back from you.

Try taking Saboxone. It will eliminate ANY physical withdrawals (sweats, shakes, sorness, nausea etc etc) from usually ANY drug, including Xanax.
A special DR prescribes it (If you live in NJ I can recommend one) and when he gives you a weeks worth (3 a day for 7 days) you will really only need 4 pills. Take 1/4 of the pillin the morning(break in 1/2 and then that 1/2 in 1/2) and then 1/4 pill in the afternoon.. you may need 1/4 in the evening (around 8pm) just for the 1st day or two..
Let it dissolve under your tongue and you will be fine in 10 minutes. Once your physical symptoms PASS, then you wont be so paranoid. When the paranoia passes, you are able to cope better mentally. 70% of kicking the habit is MENTAL ! Its ALL MENTAL after 5 days or week.
Try to get the saboxone. not every DR can prescribe it. If you cant, then try looking on the street. An 8Mg pill goes for $20.00
they’re expensive (on the street) BUT work like Magic !
Good Luck

I’m sixteen and I’ve been hospitilzed
for trying to o.d on Xanax. Before this
attempt I had been using Xanax recreationally,
after using xanax so frequnetly and based off
my emotions it caused many problems. After
Being in an inpatient program, my friendships
coming to an end,my boyfriens and i fighting,
I can not stóp.
I haven’t swallowed a Xanax since coming home
From the hospitial but I have stolen some from my
father and I get excited every time I think about
Taking it.
One day soon,
I will swallow that pill
Of happiness, and be at peace for a little while.
Even though my 120 pound body swallowed
Those 14mg of Xanax on that night, I also drank
A 40 of beer, and that whole previous week I had
Taken about 11xanax all together I still can’t lie about
The fact that I fiend.
I fiend for Xanax.
[Reply]
I just want to say thanks to “the voice” for speaking up for addicts…and I can relate to all of you. I am 22 years old and have had an on-going problem with roxicodone and xanax for almost 4 years. I have booted roxis and oxys. I have put myself in rehab twice and let me tell you, xanax withdrawls are a bitch. You can die from them. Benzos are said to have the most harmful effects on the body when detoxing. But you can do it if you really want to. I have recently started working on getting myself off these drugs for good. I no longer shoot up and have not taken xanax in over a month. And I did this all in the privacy of my own home…while my boyfriend sat next to me with a prescription of both roxis and xanax in his pocket. I am still working on getting off the pain killers. I am down to 3 a day. Not bad for a girl who a few months ago was taking 15 30mg roxis and 10-14mg xanax a day! I would still reccomend getting professional help if you are as bad off as I was. I want everyone to remember something…being an addict does not make you a bad person. It can happen to anyone…even a girl with a 100% 4 year scholarship for college that lives on her own, pays her own bills, goes to school full time, and works 2 jobs(that was me 4 yrs ago). So I hope this gives my fellow addicts hope…and makes all you “bashers” want to put your foot in your mouth. Addicts, remember one more thing…there is only one person that can judge you…and he’s damn sure not anyone that’s writing on this page!

I go to a methadone clinic and it has helped so much when i had given up all hope. but, recently i lost my job and my ole lady has been callin up her sugar daddy to help get the money for our dose and other things. i don’t want to get back to hell that was our lives before,and the stress of it all caused me to break down and do a couple bars last night and we have a random urine screen every week i think she will be devastated if she finds out i did and i dont know how to mask the benzos while keeping the methadone in my system. any advice from anyone?
[Reply]
Okay so, I’m fucked up right now lol, I’m a heavy user of pot and pills. I take opiates pretty often and any kind of benzo 24/7. No I am not prescribed it. I’m pretty mad I came to this site, ya kno looking for some answers and I just start hearing about all these people fucking up their lives. This may sound a bit hypocritical but umm, idc who the fuck you think you are if your using dope, and when I say dope I mean heroin, ya known going downtown my nigga, your a fucking scumbag. Let’s be real, there’s partying and then there’s putting a needle in your vein for a high you have to have. If it gets to that point, you gotta fucking stop. I lost the best friends I had in the world who have been in rehab for fucking forever because of that shit my best friend was shooting up with her sister. Anytime I saw her high, and just looking like a fucking idiot in front of some many people made me wanna break down in tears. Cause I knew she was up their shooting dope and, yeah I was fucked up but like fuck it lol Honestly, I’m not against drugs, I think weeds a plant not a drug it’s great and benzo relax me so I can always be peaceful and happy and enjoy my life, so all the haters on any drug user, FUCK YOU haha! and uhh people on fierce drugs like dope, meth, and a few other things like patches, and if you do drugs you kno what I’m talkin about. and acid’s cool but mushrooms are better lmfao

Why are those that are worried about failing a drug test? DON’T TAKE IT AT ALL if you are worried about it! If you have a legal prescription, don’t worry at all.

Adam, I hope you fail your drug test. Because you need help.

i took 3 xanax .5 mg on january 10… it is now january 17 i am just wondering how long it will take to get out of my system or if it is already out? i am not a frequent user, it was free and i cant smoke so i just did it, i have been drinking a lot of water. i am about 5ft 9 and weigh around 135 to 140 pounds if thats any help to an answer… but if anyone knows how long its gona be until i am clean or if i already am please let me know
[Reply]
Wow……I have just spent the last half hour reading the posts on this site, and ONE thing is SURE: there isn’t a damn person on this site that is in the position to give advice. I originally checked this out because I go to a methadone clinic, take UA’s weekly, and was trying to figure out how long Xanax can be detected. I have come to a conclusion that the answer is IT IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL!!! As for mixing benzos and methadone, most of you are right— it can be lethal. I personally am 32 years old, and have been using a mix of drugs everyday for the last 15 years of my life. My advice to those that are still fairly young— STOP while you still can. It only gets harder- eventually drugs will become such a part of your chemical psychological makeup that it will be too hard.

Hey, I came across this site because i was trying to find something that can help with the side effects i am left with after using xanax. I wouldn’t say i was a heavy user but i have been taking them a lot the last few months. I also do other recreational drugs. I have gotten to the point where i am up and down with my moods, im getting paranoid about the slightest things and over think everything. My boyfriend and i are in the exact same boat because we do it together most of the time, but now we are both feeling the effects. We were having 2 or 3 2mg and then 4 or 5 1 mg at a time. Im a big festival party person, but i really think its time for me to stop because i can see the damage it is doing both myself and him. Does anyone know how i can get all those hormones back? I just want to be myself again.

Well first off at 14 years old U dont need to be taking Xanax but if U must, I would say no more than .5 mg. At 110lbs and being ur first time, anymore than that would prolly put u in a coma. I am 36, a pot smoker, drinker for 10 years prior to taking Xanax the first time and i took 2mg and woke up the next morning, sitting on the couch in the same place i was when i took them. Be very careful if u must but i would suggest not taking them if u dont have to. And damn sure dont take more then .5 mg on ur first time!!!
