Question 9

My friend took 30mg of valium yesterday only once and has a urine test in two weeks, he weighs 125 and is 6ft tall, when will it be out of the urine?

Accepted Answer

Your friend has a high tolerance to valium if s/he took that much and was still awake.  Valium itself has a half-life of 30-60 hours, but some of its metabolites have half-lives up to 100 hours.  This could remain detectable in urine for 5 x 100 hours, or 20-21 days (3 weeks).

Question 10

Have anxiety; took valium.   how long it take to pass urine test and get out of system?

Accepted Answer

How long it takes before you pass depends on 3 things: 1) your genetics: the efficiency of your cyp liver enzymes governs benzodiazepine elimination. Slow metabolizers can have the drug in their system for 50 days, depending on the initial dose.  2) the type of assay used  3) the sensitivity cutoff for the test. The department of defense, for instance, has lower cutoff values to test positive.
