A member asked:
Is xanax (alprazolam) used to treat ibs, when someone has serotonin disorder?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not preferred: I would rather not use xanax (alprazolam) for this. It is a potentially addicting medication and will also cause dependence with regular use. There are diet changes you can make to help with ibs. Just google 'ibs diet'.
