A member asked:
Do you think the xanax (alprazolam) will help with my food addiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Good Idea: Many believe that some develop a relationship with food that triggers pleasure center in the brain in the same way that drugs like Cocaine do, causing Dopamine release & repeated patterns of reward & addictive seeking out of substance. Xanax (alprazolam) is also addictive & you would be replacing one substance for another or multiplying your addictions. Seek out 12 step program and counseling. Good luck.
