Xanax       09/30/03 12:48 AM Edit Reply Quote Tim G Reged: 08/07/03 Posts: 95 Loc: NSW, Australia I am sat here staring at a box of Xanax that my doctor has just prescribed for me to help get my IBS Anxiety under control. It's a minimal dose 0.5mg per capsule, but I am pretty concerned about taking it primarilly because he has suggested a possible addiction/dependency but also from a quick look on the web I found a 'potential for seizures' if you withdraw from the dosage...this can't be good...can it? I know a few people have mentioned experiencing severe anxiety as a result of IBS, but were you guys prescribed anything like this? And if so, do you / did you have a dependency or any nasty health issues (seizures etc) when you came off? I am really not sure about this. As much as I want to get the anxiety under control and get my life back, I'm not sure I want to do that at a risk of prematurely ending it... I would really appreciate any assistance guys.
