question: I ve been prescribed and take between 1mg-3mg per day of xanax, depending on how bad my anxiety is or if I have a serious attack, which is the reason I was prescribed it. I m currently in a pre-trial program due to some silly trouble-mistake I made over a year ago and my pti officer is forcing me to stop my prescription and I get a urine test weekly... I went to a detox program for a week, but want to make sure I know to inform her if I may still test positive even though I haven t taken it since I heard that xanax takes a lot longer to be out of your system compared to other medications, esp. if I ve been taking it regularly for about a year.
