Brief Answer:
xanax should be completely metabolized by 93 hours

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for contacting HCM with your health care concerns

You are currently on citalopram and xanax. You are concerned about the length of time it would take to have xanax metabolized from your body. The usual half life of xanax is 11 hours so by the 3rd day this would no longer be detectable by urine screens.

I hope I answered your question. please contact us again if you have any additional questions
