A member asked:

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

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

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.
