A member asked:

I'm on alprazolam 1 mg 2x day for anxiety and was just prescribed paxlovid for covid. should i stop my xanax? drugs says paxlovid can have major interactions with alprazolam and can cause difficulty breathing when taking them together?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I think the main interaction is a possible increase in the blood level of xanax that can occur. Since you'll be resting at home this may not be a problem for you. Ask your prescriber to help you reduce the dose of Xanax if excessive drowsiness becomes an issue for you.
