Tested for in Standard Drug Tests? NO
Tested for in Extended Drug Tests? YES
Detection Period in Urine Single Use : 7 - 10 days


Diazepam(Valium) is one of several prescription benzodiazepines commonly tested for in the extended drug test. Cutoff levels are 300 ng/ml.

Answer 3

drug test coming??5-7 days you ll be clear drink lots o water and sweat alot piss to

Answer 4

ya, diazepam has a very long half life... the longest of the benzodiazepines i think. youd be much better off with some zolpidem/zapelon. half of it is still in ur system after about 50 hours.
the majority of drug tests do not look for this..
i really do think your looking at a few weeks minimum for it to be undetectable.
drug detection rates are typically given for just a particular class of drugs... in this case you have some drugs in this class that stay in your system 25 times longer than others. ... valium just so happens to be the one that stays in the longest. i would say xanax is probably a few days, but valuim alot longer. my point is that people quoting the 3-5 days are simply repeating what they have heard is the norm for most things... not the case here.

real advice: drink a gallon of water hours before the test, take a few "vitamin B complex's" pills to make ur piss still yellow even tho its dilute... and get some creatine while ur at GNC too and take a few grams here and there before the test... they measure creatinine(a metabolite) to see how dilute ur piss is... so with the vitamins givin u color, and creatine making it seem concentrated, you can basically piss straight water without them saying anything.

and oh ya... ur best bet is to not be messing with drugs. naughty!!! lol

u could always just get prescribed a drug in this class if u got alot on the line... whats that you say? your freaking out? scared all the time? panic? well.... they have something for that lol.

p.s... drinking tons of water days prior doesnt help.

Answer 5

not long enough...

Answer 6

Roughly 4 hours.

Answer 7

Valium half life is between 36 and 100 hours, so whatever your metabolism determines, in that time, the concentration would be half of what it was at it's peak. Another half life, it is one fourth of the original level, etc.

I would say you would probably be safe in 3-4 days.

Answer 8

48hrs to a week depending on how healthy and active you are. Also if you have done it before. You know they have home drug test you can buy at Walgreens or any place like that.

p.s. Valium makes the nutty sain and the sain nutty. It has lasting affects and it isn't very cute to see anyone go through them. If you take it and don't need it. Your body which naturally makes a certain amount will either "OD" on you or stop making that amount. So you'll need more and more untill you are on a perscription for life just so your mind doesn't flip on you. That's of course if you live through it.
