Could Xanax For Anxiety Cause Irregular Periods?

i am perscribed .50 mg xanax as needed at night for anxiety. I don't take it every night. Maybe a couple times a week, then maybe a few weeks taking nothing. I am also on 70mg Vyvanse. Could the xanax cause irregular periods? Two periods ago it came a week early.

Hello
You are taking irregularly XANAX for anxiety ( alprazolam 0.5 mg ).
There are so many side effects of xanax as nausea , vomiting psychological & physical dependence ( beside so many others ) but it don't causes menstrual irregularity , so in your case for irregular bleeding , xanax is not responsible.
You are also taking Vyvanse 70 mg ( lisedexamfetamine dimesylate ) but this also not responsible for bleeding disorder.
So in my opinion irregular bleeding may be due to , these reasons, these include:
1 Tension or anxiety
2 Hormonal imbalance
3 Uterine disorder
Get in an ultrasound of uterine organs ( including ovaries ) to rule out any gynecological reason.
Deal as above mentioned.
Good luck.
