Can xanax (alprazolam) be taken with dialysis dependent and congestive heart failure?

Would not recommend: xanax (alprazolam) is a strong nervous system sedative and could worsen your medical conditions.

It can be taken: Your doc should make the decision based upon severity of your symptoms and the potential for side effects. At your age benzodiazepines can make you unsteady and raise your risk for fall.
