Yes: You can take xanax (alprazolam) as needed for the anxiety without significant stomach problems. The anxiety its self can contribute to stomach problems. However, it would be important to get into see a counselor to help manage the anxiety. You do not want to depend upon the xanax (alprazolam) for the management of your anxiety.

Yes: I agree that yo want to find a way to deal with the anxiety. A counselor can help. Homeopathic argentum nitricum might help. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can also help....Also the amino acid L theanine can offer short term reduction in anxiety. Good luck!
