when I stared 100mg of Zoloft I had diarrhea.Not real bad,but I had it.It can be a side effect,but should go away after awhile.

Yes, diarrhea is a common side effect with Xanex. As cj29 said, you can also have stress and anxiety that may cause this too, over the change from one medication to another, Not knowing what to expect from this drug.

I was on celexa but went to another internal medicine doctor because the celexa was making my panic attacks worse.  I just started taking the xanex and effexor for two days it might be just getting used to the new meds but I have not had panic attacks since on effexor and xanex.    Got dirreah when I starrted taking this medicine.  Just wondering if this was normal and if it takes a bit to work in my system with this new medicine.  Thanks for your help and advice :)

We all react differently to medication.  Have you been having problems before you started taking taking it?  Stress and anxiety can definitely cause this as well.  Did you get diarrhea just once after taking it?
