I have been taking 2 mg xanax for over ten years. I stop taking it every once in a while after reading negative effects . It helps me with my constipation.

I would like to know if there is any long term effects on being on it for an extended length of time.

I lost 95% of my ability to get aroused. I failed to get excited with 4 different girls and left them thinking my little guy was a dud. My doctor switched me to a different drug with nearly no sexual side effects and I'm back with no problems getting excited anymore. Besides the sexual side... View full comment

I wish they would come out with an Excedrin Migraine PM. If I have really bad migraines these pills don't help enough.
