The Respiratory Therapy Pinning Ceremony is a time of great honor and dignity and a special occasion for our graduates and their family members. We ask that you refrain from talking, cheering, excessive movement, and using electronic devices during the ceremony.
Xanax is a relatively short-acting drug when compared to Valium. If you're an average-size person, you would expect Xanax to stay in your urine for 1-4 days after last use. To be safe, you should wait at least a week. Note that this is very dependent on how much and for how long you've been taking it.
How long does Xanax stay in your system â the half-life: The effects of the drug start to wear off after 5 hours, however, the drug stays in the blood for a long time even after the effects wear off. The half-life of the drug is around 11 hours which means that it would take around 11 hours for your body to get rid of half of the dose of the drug.
