Anybody have this problem?

[mikey_lynch89]

Well i have had anxiety for around 2 years but for the past 6 months it seems to be getting worse. i've been on alprazolam(xanax).25 mg for about 2 months now. the meds work for anxiety attacks but for what i was really wondering is if anyone has the same problem of keeping food down. usually after every time i eat will start burping constantly until i start vomiting anything i have ate until its just stomach acid. its been happening for about a week now.

i just want to know if anyone has had this problem and could help me out here. starting to really worry. im 19, i use to drink alcohol alot (pretty much an everyday binge drinker for about 2 years). i some times think that it is ulcers but im not sure. Anyone know what could be my problem?

I've been taking Xanax (.25 mg, 3 times a day) for a while now as I adjust to Lexapro.  I haven't experienced a hard time keeping food down like you explained above.  I know a few other people who have taken/are taking Xanax as well, and I don't recall any of them having the problem you are having.

Your best bet would be to make an appointment with your physician, explain your symptoms and see what he/she says.  A medical professional will be better able to shed some light on your problem.  Also, does the vomiting seem to occur after eating a specific kind of food, or does it happen with everything you eat?  That's definitely an important thing to take note of and to tell your doctor.

Good luck!  Hope this helps.  Keep us posted on how you're doing.

It sounds like an esophageal sphincter/motility dysfunction.  I recommend making an appointment with a gastroenterologist, or your PCP first if your insurance requires referrals to see specialists.

Please keep me posted.
