All you have to do is look up the half life of a drug and it will tell you. It stays in your system for about 12 hours. To be safe, I would give it 24 hours from the time you take it to the day of your test.
if the drug test you are given is looking specifically for Ativan, it could show up, up to 30days after you take it. But A's I've said before, these test are not accurate. they make mistakes all the time. I wouldn't risk it, but if you have a legal prescription for it, it shouldn't be a problem anyway. If not, good luck. NIK
As patti stated , depends on many factors but generally benzos dont stay inthe body more than 8 days and that is heavy use. but just take your script and if you dont have one then dont take any.
Don't worry, just bring the doctors script along with, and you should fair fine.

It will show for at least 3 days and probably longer, it can show for up to 6 weeks. If your metabolism is slow, you are any amount of overweight, take other medications, this will stick around for a couple of weeks at least. It imbeds in your fat cells much like THC and it can show positive for quite a while. Not to mention that 6 mgs is a fairly high dose, it really will stick around longer than 3 days. Be safe.
