A member asked:

Sick, i hv taken xanax (alprazolam) before cause of my anxiety. i just wondering how long it's side effects will gone?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Half life: The half life of the drug is 11-19 hours depending on which formulation you have, your age, and the condition of your liver. That means that it will take 50 to 100 hours to wear off.
