Duration of effects. The speed of elimination of a benzodiazepine is obviously important in determining the duration of its effects. However, the duration of apparent action is usually considerably less than the half-life. With most benzodiazepines, noticeable effects usually wear off within a few hours.
Speed of elimination. Benzodiazepines also differ markedly in the speed at which they are metabolised (in the liver) and eliminated from the body (in the urine) (Table 1). For example, the "half-life" (time taken for the blood concentration to fall to half its initial value after a single dose) for triazolam (Halcion) is only 2-5 hours, while the half-life of diazepam is 20-100 hours, and that of an active metabolite of diazepam (desmethyldiazepam) is 36-200 hours. This means that half the active products of diazepam are still in the bloodstream up to 200 hours after a single dose. Clearly, with repeated daily dosing accumulation occurs and high concentrations can build up in the body (mainly in fatty tissues).

Do you mean Urinalysis or Urine drug test? If you are on the Benzo by a legitimate prescription then you bring a copy of that prescription or the bottle with your name etc... on it to the urine drug test. Then it is no problem. If you are taking it illegally then I won't help you.

It depends on how much you took, but give yourself between 4 to 6 weeks......also, there is no way to mask that urinalysis....so don't try.
