Posted on Mon, 8 Dec 2014
Question: Thanks. Someone stole my purse with my meds in it. Not joking or an addict. However I am prescribed 10 mg zanax 4x day (PTSD). A friend and yes I know it's illegal gave me some Valium to take. I took 50 mg. A day for 2 weeks. How long will that stay in my system?

Brief Answer:
Variable duration but minimum it takes few weeks.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

Welcome to healthcaremagic.

I am Dr.Senduran,General physician answering your query..

Valium(Diazepam) unlike zanax,has a very long elimination half life(thanks to its active metabolite) and can also get accumulated in fatty tissues.

We can't predict the concentration of this drug and its metabolite as its metabolism is variable..

But it can stay a minimum of 3-4 weeks and even may take few months to get completely cleared off the system..

Hope this answers your query..

If any further doubts,get back to me or else close the discussion by rating this answer.

Take care.
