Half life 11 hrs: Xanax (alprazolam) has a half life of 11 hrs and will may take longer to eliminate based on body fat and metabolism. It could be detectable for much longer than you would think- even up to 40 hrs depending on frequency of use and your particular situation. http://answers.webmd.com/answers/1198207/how-long-does-xanax-stay-in
