Question 1

is it okay to take .25mg of xanax (alprazolam) once a day with 10mg of prozac i am 62?

Accepted Answer

Yes/no: The dose of xanax (alprazolam) you cited is conservative.  Nevertheless, there is increasing evidence of eventual cognitive compromise in the elderly (which i don't think you are yet... But you're headed there...) from long term bzd treatment.  I really really really try to get my patients off of xanax (alprazolam).  If you are taking it just "once a day" i would think there could be other rx that might work as well.

Question 2

can u take zantac and tylenol (acetaminophen)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: you can.  Certainly.  No problem.

Question 3

is it ok to take xanax amitriptyline imatrax and tylenol 4 together????

Accepted Answer

I wouldn't.: Tylenol with Codeine #4 (acetaminophen / codeine) plus Xanax (alprazolam) can cause CNS depression
&amp; lead to respiratory distress, coma,or death.  Combining codeine &amp; amitriptyline or  mixing amitriptyline &amp;  Xanax can cause  "dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, &amp; difficulty concentrating" per DRUGS.COM.

Question 4

i was prescribed 20 mg of prozac daily, 1 mg of  xanax (alprazolam) as needed for panic disorder and already take 40 mg of ritalin a day. is this safe?

Accepted Answer

Balanced combo: It is a safe combination mental/mood disorders. The only interaction is xanax (alprazolam) increases and Ritalin decreases sedation and drowsiness. However in the doses you mentioned is balanced.
If any concern contact your treating physician for clarification. 
Rec. Ask your treating doctor about the biofeedback.

Question 5

is lipozene safe to take with prozac, topamax, and xanax (alprazolam)?

Accepted Answer

Yes: I would take it at a separate time from the medications so it does not affect the absorption of the medications.

Question 6

is it really safe to take 0.5mg xanax when having a panic attack even if someone is on prozac 20mg daily ?

Accepted Answer

Drug interactions.:  Xanax and Prozac can be taken together if prescribed in that manner. Please don't drink alcohol if you are taking either of these medications. Be aware that this combination can lead to drowsiness. Don't operate vehicles or dangerous machinery if you are drowsy.

Question 7

i am just about done weaning off prozac..also just about done with .25mg of xanax (alprazolam)..can i take valerian?

Accepted Answer

Valerian xanax (alprazolam): Valerian is extremely weak compared to xanax (alprazolam). If you wean off your meds under doctor's advice, then you are safe. Xanax (alprazolam) is never to be taken on a daily basis as it rapidly causes dependence.

Question 8

is it safe to take propranolol, xanax, (alprazolam) prozac, and zzzquil together? i don't take them all at once but space them out.

Accepted Answer

There are multiple: potential drug interactions with these medications. Please use a drug interaction checker for the full info.

Question 9

i take prozac and have been taking duromine 30 for the past 2 weeks, is this safe and can i also take xanax (alprazolam) or valium at night for anxiety?

Accepted Answer

BZD+stimulant+SSRI: Duromine (phentermine) is a stimulant which can lead to worsened anxiety and insomnia. It can also cause or worsen depression. Similar to Ativan and xanax, (alprazolam) this medication can be habit forming, tolerance and dependance can occur, and a vicious cycle may set in. The question is best answered by the prescribing physician.

Question 10

i take 60mg prozac each morning and 20-50 mg of adderall a day and 2mg of xanax (alprazolam) at night to sleep. xanax (alprazolam) isn't helping can i take on more 1mg tonight!

Accepted Answer

Stop the madness!: You are on major medicines from a competent physician and are asking doctors who don't know you for permission to take more meds???  Sleep is necessary for good health and disrupted sleep needs to be treated. Perhaps your meds are causing the insomnia, or stimulant drinks, or stress, or psychiatric disease itself. Call the prescriber to discuss this,,and quit trying to circumvent him/her.
