actually shouldn't your pharmacy be open now? You can tell them the miligrams your on, they should be able to help.

Hi Daffy,

Your best bet would be to call your pharmacy and ask the pharmasist who is on call. Of course also ask your doctor first thing come Monday. Until then just take as little as you can get away with. I personally do not know the length of duration xanax says in your system, until you need another.

Perhaps someone else will.
