A member asked:

Is xanax (alprazolam) bad for stomach ulcers i.e. will it have a negative effect on healing?

Dr. Sophie Duriez answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

No: Benzodiapines are safe for the stomach, they are potentially addictive so not so safe for the brain but that's another issue.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
