How Long Does Klonopin Stay In Your Urine, Blood, Saliva, Hair?

Feb 23 2020
Categories:Drug Facts

If you’ve had Klonopin recently, you might be wondering how long it will stay in your system. This is a commonly asked question especially for people who are about to undergo a drug test. Will it be detected in your urine, saliva, blood or hair? How long do you need to wait before Klonopin leaves your system?

Klonopin is a brand name for the generic drug clonazepam. It is a prescription medication that belongs to the benzodiazepine class of drugs. Klonopin is used as a treatment for anxiety disorders but it can also be prescribed for other conditions such as seizures, restless leg syndrome, and insomnia.

Klonopin is also being used as a recreational drug because according to users, the drug can make them feel amazing. The intoxication is said to be comparable to the effects of alcohol or weed. It is also possible to be unknowingly addicted to Klonopin. This is because Klonopin has been proven to be highly addictive and powerful.

There are clonazepam users who start out taking the meds legitimately because of an anxiety disorder, however, they ended up addicted to the drug. Actress Lena Dunham was one of the Klonopin users who got addicted to the drug. She said that she was first prescribed Klonopin due to her anxiety issues but she continued taking the drug long after she needed to.

The duration of Klonopin in your blood, urine, saliva, and hair

KlonopinCompared to other benzodiazepines, Klonopin or clonazepam is a long-lasting benzo. This means that it can take longer for the drug to be eliminated in the body. The duration of how long clonazepam will remain in your system may vary. The exact duration is influenced by multiple factors including the user’s age, health, body mass index, and liver function. Other factors that may affect the duration of the drug in the body include the dosage taken, the frequency and duration of use, whether the user is taking other medications. The length of time the drug can be detected in the body will also depend on the method of drug testing that will be administered. There are four common drug tests that are usually used for Klonopin: urine test, saliva test, blood test, and hair test.

Klonopin Urine Test

Urine testing for Klonopin is commonly done because it is lower in cost compared to other types of drug tests.  When you are being tested for Klonopin, the urine test will look for the metabolite called 7-aminoclonazepam, which is the byproduct the body creates when clonazepam is processed.

This metabolite can be detected in the urine after a few hours of taking the drug. It can last in the body for a minimum of (5) five days to around 21 days or even longer.

Klonopin Saliva Test

Saliva tests are not usually used to detect Klonopin because not only are they unreliable, they are also quite expensive compared to other tests.

After a few hours of taking Klonopin, it can be detected in the saliva up to (5) five days after use. Klonopin metabolites can be detected for around (6) six days.

Klonopin Blood Test

When talking about the duration of the drug in the body, the term “half-life” often crops up. The half-life of a drug is the measure of time it takes for your system to eliminate half of the amount of the substance you took. Compared to other drugs, Klonopin has a very long half-life which is 30 to 40 hours.

In a blood test, clonazepam or Klonopin can be detected in the blood for 2 half-lives or more, which amount to around 80 hours or (3) three days.

Klonopin Hair Test

It can take several days after taking the drug before you can test positive for Klonopin in a hair test. However, the drug can be detected for 28 days to 120 days in your hair. Klonopin hair tests are also not very consistent.

How to get Klonopin out of your system?

If you are about to undergo a drug test, the best way to eliminate the drug from your system is to totally stop using the drug. Do not use fake pee in a drug test or other dishonest means. If you feel that you are addicted to the substance, seek professional help to safely detox and get treated for your addiction.

If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse, help is available.
