1mg. xanax not working...alternatives?
Apr 27, 2009 01:26PM in the Anxiety Community
I am also on Xanax. My questions would be, since I know how long you've been on it, how many times a day do you take it? I have been on Xanax, .25mg, three times a day, far less than your dose, for about 8-10 months and I can tell you that I have build up a tolerance to it.

IBS

Could there possibly be a situation, other than a chemical imbalance, where something in the brain or spinal cord could be going on, to cause IBS, stomach issues, excess acid, weight loss, chronic pain? Or is the best thing to do, just try a tca or anti depressant to fix it?

Also ...

I was on a tricyclic antidepressant medication called Pamleor and I never had problems with my stomach. I could eat anything I wanted. Since I'm off that medicine I actually have an intolerance to cold. Also I've lost so much weight with the stomach issues that I don't really have any meat on me. I kid with my girlfriend I always wanted to be cut and ripp...
Stomach ache
Feb 09, 2009 09:12AM in the Gastroenterology Community
I've noticed that sometimes when my stomach is upset and I have something to eat, I not only have stomach ache, but I also have shivers. I'm not cold because I happen to be in a warm room and covered up with a blanket. I have had an issue with cold intolerance lately, but that doesn't factor in here. I've tried taking the Donnatol that they gave me when th...
