I just started .25mg xanax"as needed"for"stomach troubles"when I have to leave the house. I only take it when I have to go somewhere. I never take medication except the occasional Excedrin for headaches, and I was wondering should I take the xanax at least 1x a day to get it in my system or just when I have to go somewhere?*I know it can be habit forming, I have friends and family that have been/are addicted.LOL, I have anxiety that make me"go"and my stomach hurts SO bad when I have to leave the house...and they are the really low dose white ones... :-)

Talk with your doctor silly. Didn't he tell you how much to take?And not everyone gets hooked on Xanax. Don't go by what others say.

Xanax was used for anxiety isn't it???? I've never heard of it being used for stomach issues...It is highly addictive....

Xanax is not for stomach troubles it is a tranquilizer, I think you are speaking of Zantac and yes you should take that every day

Xanax isn't one of those meds that you must take for a couple weeks before it reaches therapeutic levels in order for it to be effective. Xanax is for short term use. Therefore, you shouldn't take it unless you need it. I don't really understand the'stomach troubles'diagnosis, unless you mean your anxiety causes you to feel like you have stomach problems.If you are actually experiencing agoraphobia, there are medications that are more appropriate, and that can be taken on a regular basis to keep your anxiety at a controllable level.Ae you sure you're referring to Xanax?

For stomach problems!!!!Find a new Dr.!Get a second opinion!

I take xanax for anxiety, not everyday, but when I am in situations where I think I will worry my stomach into an episode. Try the fiber thing though, I am suprised your doc didn't recomend it if he suggested IBS.. Hope things get better for you...
