very effective is relaxing the nerves as it creates a feeling of
relaxation when taken in regular doses the pill form. It can

3. What is the withdrawal timeline?
• If you are concerned about
the Xanax withdrawal
timeline or how soon it
leaves the body, the
average elimination is 9-16
hours. For a healthy

5. How can Xanax be detected?
• If you suspect someone to be abusing Xanax or using it for recreational purposes,
the following can be done to verify the presence of Xanax:
Blood test
Urine test
Saliva swabs
Hair follicle analysis
• Urine analysis is the common test done to check if a person is taking Xanax
because this substance can stay in the body fluid, especially if larger doses of Xanax
have been taken. For those users who only use Xanax occasionally, urine test might
not provide an accurate report on use of Xanax because the substance can only stay
in the body of a user that is taking larger doses of Xanax, for occasional users the
substance may be no longer present after 4 days of intake.

6. • Saliva and blood tests are ideal for those individuals who have taken Xanax for a
shorter period. In fact, Xanax can be easily detected after the initial dose, whereas
the saliva test can work effectively within 2 days after last dose. Blood test will
provide an accurate result within the day of use.
• Hair follicle test can be done for a month after last dose because the substance may
have accumulated within the hair follicles, but it may take longer for the drug to
appear in hair than in body fluids like blood or urine. So, if you took a hair sample
from a person suspected to be abusing or addicted to Xanax, the hair sample may
provide a negative result from this drug.
• Anyone suspected to have developed strong addiction to Xanax must be treated
immediately because the Xanax withdrawal timeline and symptoms may pose health
risks that can be life threatening. Prevent the dangers of stopping abruptly from
Xanax by seeking professional help with a drug specialist.
