IF you are taking this medication under a doctor's supervision then you should show the prescription bottle to the tester so it goes on record properly. If you're taking this medication on your own, then you might run into trouble.

Xanax or alprazolam has a peak concentration usually after 1- 2 hrs post administration. It belongs in the classification of benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines have been known to cause some hyperactivity or a certain "high" in some cases.
Alprazolam is usually prescribed for sleep. It has been indicated to alleviate some types of panic disorder. Adverse effects have been known to cause from some mild impairment of task performance to hypnosis.It causes some mania when given to people with depression problems.
In addition, it has been known to cause some drug dependency and thus classified under drug abuse.
Because, you have not taken it for 8 days; its level shouldn't be in your system anymore. Its half-life or effects normally last up to 5- 11.2 hrs.
Besides, drug tests are usually ordered to determine the use of street drugs or illegal drugs for recreational purposes ( e;g. opiates, weed or marijuana, coke, crack,etc) not prescribed meds such as xanax .
So, to answer your question. You need not worry to pass the drug test ; in this instance urine testing for drugs.

Well, it depends on how much you use it, and if you're legally prescribed it, but either way, you should be fine. If you just take it occasionally, it should only stay in urine for like 3 days, maybe 2 days in your blood, and like up to 3 months in your hair. If you're a chronic user, it can stay in your urine for longer, like a month to a month and a half. So, if you're just a recreational user, as long as they dont hair test, youre fine. If the prescription is for you, then youll be fine, since Xanax is legal if prescribed to you.
All in all, it may not even matter, since most companies dont test for benzodiazepines. Some do, but generally, most just test for weed, cocaine, ampehtamines (including meth), opiates, and phencycladine (pcp).

I had a friend who got arrested for xanax and his parents made him go to the hospital's toxicology lab for a drug test.He had taken xanax two days prior and passed his test you should be fine.

Xanax.... probably wont show up on your drug test... but even if it does, it's a legal drug. Unless, you're in a drug program, then dont worry about it. if it's for a job, they will only look for ILLEGAL substances.
