Brief Answer:
Alprazolam can be detected in urine from 1 - 6 weeks after use.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

Alprazolam can stay in the system for a long time. With regular daily use, once stopped it can be detected in the urine for as long as 6 weeks. Also, your own metabolism can affect how long it takes to clear from your system.

A general guide is:
Urine Test: 1-6 wks
Blood Test: 6-48 hrs
Saliva Test: 1-10 days

I hope this information helps.
