I was recently given a prescription for Xanax. My Dr. said it was a low dose and that I could take it up too 3 times a day. I have Hodgkins disease, this is the third time the disease has reoccurred in the past 10 yrs. I have gone through some very aggressive treatments for the disease in the past 10 yrs including a stem cell transplant and several different cycles of chemo therapy treatment and radiation. I am currently on CMOPP for the disease. In the past I was in my early 20’s, single and had no major responsibilities and although the treatments were difficult i was able to deal. Now I am 33yrs old, have a mortgage, a wife and a 1 yr old daughter. I am about half way through my CMOPP cycle and things seem to be going well. However, the past few weeks I seem to have been experiencing more stress than normal. I have had stretches of days where I literally was up for days at a time and days where I can’t get out of bed. I have been overall lethargic, and just have a blah feeling. However, I also go through periods of feeling extremely anxious and nervous and every problem I have from my health, to my money to my family just can’t stop cycling through my head. On top of this I am dealing with the side affects from the chemo including nausea, constipation, basically all the ones to be expected. My Dr. seems to think the Xanax may help me "deal with things" until I am done with the chemo. However, I am a bit hesitant because I have read that Xanax is extremely addictive. I don’t want to have to deal with any withdrawls when I am done with everything and don’t want to be on the drug for any extended amount of time past my finishing up with the chemo in the next three months. Any suggestions?? Do you think it is safe to take?? Do you think it will even help me??

www.CaptainColon.com Embarrassing as it may be, we have all suffered from constipation at one time in our life or another. According to the National Health Interview Survey as many as 3 million Americans suffer from frequent if not chronic constipation. While constipation is not recognized as a degenerative disease or serious disorder, people who are constipated often feel bloated, uncomfortable and even sluggish. Constipation by itself is miserable enough, but sufferers often experience painful bowel movements that can become compounded by hemorrhoids that form due to straining. Understanding Constipation To understand constipation, it is important to understand how our digestive system works. When we eat, food is ground up in our stomachs so it can be digested. This ‘liquid’ food passes into the small intestine where nutrients are extracted. It then moves on to the colon, where water is removed, allowing a stool to form. If too much water is extracted from the stool as it passes through the colon, it can become hard and difficult to pass leaving you constipated. Why People Get Constipated, There are a number of reasons why people get constipated. These include not eating enough dietary fiber, over-eating, not drinking enough liquids (water), lack of exercise, ignoring the ‘urge’ to have a bowel movement and plain old stress. Other causes can include having a lazy colon that does not contract properly, causing waste materials to pass through the colon slowly, food …
