Im a soon to be xray machine operator and will be working at a orthopedic surgeons office. i stopped smokin reefer and take xanex at night to sleep. does anyone have any info at all about how they test (ie. hair folical, piss, etc.) and if they even screen for xanex. PLEASE let me know!

:conf used:

If you have a prescription for Xanex it shouldn't be a problem. When I worked at a hospital all I did was pee in a cup.

no they don't screen for xanax.

don't have any idea how they would test, man. probably a piss test. next guess would be a saliva test. hair tests are expensive and typically reserved for the military.

alright thats cool. i dont have a perscription for it which is one of the things i was worrying about but im prettty sure xanex gets out of your system within a couple of days but call me out if im wrong.

howd you land a job as an xray machine operator?

it only requires a couple of full time quarters to be certified and you can get a job at your local orthopedic office and shit like that.

Some tests check for Xanax, some do not.

A 10 panel urine drug screen (typically used as a pre-employment screening test) does test for benzos (such as Xanax). Xanax, however, is undetectable within days.

A 5 panel urine drug test (like a DOT drugs of abuse test) does not.
As far as I know, hair tests do not test for benzos.

Congratulations on your job as an X-Ray Tech

Well that's reassuring but I've read on other places that it takes weeks to months for it to be clean of your system. I am about to start the last quarter of schooling to receive my certificate and looks like sobriety it is, just to be safe then once I get my certificate ill be set.

And Ive never heard of a 10 panel test... that's some scary shit man.

Big Brother is taken over this shit is ridiculous.

It takes weeks, or rarely months, to get THC breakdown products out of your system. The Xanax should be gone in a few days.

Good luck my brother

Cool man. thanks for the info.

Good luck to you as well my man

I have gotten clonazepam out of my system in less than 24 hours by drinking tons of water, like gallons, but sometimes they test your creatine levels to see if you're flushing

I hear that drinking milk at night will help you sleep.
