Seeing how you didn't have a clue on how Xanax is used for pain and( AGAIN did not do any research) before saying that Xanax is "not a pain medication" when the internet is chock full of information that it does; I would encourage you to do more research on your statement about, "alternative treatments for pain. Lots of aspirin and Tylenol." Basically, aspirins are associated with heart health taken on a regular basis according to Mayo Clinic studies, among others. Internal bleeding is associated with too much consumption of aspirins, etc. How you figure??? Of the cuff statements don't cut it.
