Xanas is for anxiety disorders. Has nothing to do with acid reflux.

Xanax is used for anxiety as a tranquilizer.......use tums, or pro something.....

Probably not, considering it's used to treat psychological disorders. Also, using medications to self-treat is usually not a good idea. Same thing for using them for off-label purposes outside the supervision of a doctor. If it's one-time Acid Reflux/ Indigestion/ Heartburn, use some Alka-Seltzer or simply suffer until it goes away. If it's recurring, see a doctor for a prescription, though he will probably just suggest one of the recently made over the counter drugs like Prilosec OTC or Zantac.

I had many problems with acid reflux for many years. After many prescripions, I finally changed my diet and had little problems since. The main change was not eating a heavy meal in the evenings and eating my dinner no later than 7:00 p.m. I avoided those things which irritated it in the evenings - chocolate, tomato based products, like ketchup, fish oil capsules, granola (don't know what it was in that).
