A member asked:

My friend took 7 xanax (alprazolam) bars (2mg's) with in a time spand of 24 hours. how many days will it take for his body to flush (detox) them out?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Danger: That is a potentially lethal amount, especially if combined with something else, like alcohol. It has a half-life of only a few hours, so he may not be harmed. But he is lucky. I hope he finds help pronto, whether he attempted actual suicide or just took a risk.
