Can xanax help with back pain?

I had chronic lower back pain and my doctor explained that while Xanax is an anti-anxiety medicine, it can sometimes relax muscles if the pain is caused by severe tension or spasm. However, it is highly addictive, so never use it as a regular painkiller. Stick to physical therapy and doctor-approved muscle relaxants.

Bro, don't take Xanax for back pain. It is a psychiatric drug, not a painkiller. I once tried it for sleep when my back was hurting, and it just made me a zombie next day without helping the pain. Stick to normal pain sprays or see a doc.

Unless your back pain is getting anxious and needs to calm down, Xanax won't directly fix it! Jokes apart, it might make you sleep through the pain, but it's not a painkiller. Better to get a good massage or use a hot water bag.

Hey, please don't use Xanax for back pain. It's a very strong medication for anxiety, and using it for muscle pain is definitely not a good idea. Just put some pain relief gel, rest up, and don't stress too much. Let's ask a doctor for a proper muscle relaxant if it still hurts.
