• Saliva and blood tests are ideal for those
  individuals who have taken Xanax for a shorter
  period. In fact, Xanax can be easily detected
  after the initial dose, whereas the saliva test
  can work effectively within 2 days after last
  dose. Blood test will provide an accurate result

  accumulated within the hair follicles, but it may
  take longer for the drug to appear in hair than
  in body fluids like blood or urine. So, if you
  took a hair sample from a person suspected to be
  abusing or addicted to Xanax, the hair sample may
  provide a negative result from this drug.

  addiction to Xanax must be treated immediately
  because the Xanax withdrawal timeline and
  symptoms may pose health risks that can be life
  threatening. Prevent the dangers of stopping
  abruptly from Xanax by seeking professional help
