Xanax is ok to take but just take extra precautions because it only takes a little bit too much to knock you on your axx.  If you had that much pain from broken ribs you should have gone to the hospital just to make sure it wasn't anything worse.  Xanax does absolutely nothing for pain but I understand what you're saying.  Still if I was you, I would have them ribs checked out.
