Accepted Answer

Talk w/pediatrician: Please discuss this with your pediatrician.  Your baby may not be ready to wean yet -- 6 weeks is very young.  Or, she may be intolerant of some of the ingredients in the formula.  There are many to choose from.  Incidence of adverse events in infants exposed to benzodiazepines (like xanax) in breast milk, is low -- not zero, but low.  Your bonding together is also very important.

Accepted Answer

Unlikely.  : But not impossible. Still, xanax (alprazolam) is much easier on the liver than alcohol is. Alcohol and xanax (alprazolam) share some similarities in their effects (disinhibition, anxiety reduction, withdrawal symptoms) but liver toxicity is not usually one of the similarities.

Question 6

will a small dose of xanax (alprazolam) cause seizures?

Accepted Answer

Seizures: Some experts feel that chronic use of benzodiazepine (xanax, valium, ativan, (lorazepam) clonazepam) may lower seizure threshold, specially in patients with epilepsy or predisposing disorders. This is beyond the withdrawal mechanism which can occur even in low dose use for long time. Thats why rarely used for a long term in seizure disorders. Always check with your physician before adjusting your medications.
