Hello . Welcome to JustAnswer. Xanax contains Alprazolam which belongs to class Benzodiazepines Ativan contains Lorazepam which also belongs to class Benzodiazepines Both are commonly used an anti-anxiety drugs but are different drugs, with different properties e.g. Xanax is moved out of body slowly than Ativan. Yes they have different byproducts after getting used up in body (after metabolism) and can be differentiated via sensitive chemical testing of urine. Hope that solved the query. Regards
