It could take up to a week for Xanax to completely clear from your system. Yes, it is detectable. If you have a prescription for it the drug testing place should take that into consideration. If you don't have a prescription currently, perhaps you could get one before you pee in the cup.

Xanax can stay in your system for one to three days after you take it. It will show up in a urine test for that long and maybe a day or two longer. If you are taking a urine test plan on not taking xanax for up the four days, unless you have a perscription for it.

I would say that this is an unhealthy medication, and would try other remedies to relieve stress other than this pharma product. I would say a powerful drug like this may stay in your system a while.
