A member asked:

Took half of alprazolam 1 mg last night for the first time since last year i'm currently breastfeeding how long should i wait before nursing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It takes 3 days to: completely clear this med out of your body,so I would wait at least 2-3 days before resuming breastfeeding.
