I have been taking xanax and prozac for 10 years. 3mg a day of xanax and 30-40mg per day of prozac.
The combination minimizes but does not eliminate acute anxiety and depression. Prozac is very effect at higher doses for depression and OCD, xanax only minimizes anxiety and panic attacks.
Xanax is the most addictive substance I have ever experienced, both have pronounced side affects at higher doses, but they subside within 4-6 months and are totally gone with in 12 months.
Xanax addiction is a function (for me) of length of time not dose. My dose has gone up and down, but I have not been successful eliminating it entirely, have been cutting back and trying other meds for the last four years. Still rely on daily xanax and prozac.
Actually can’t imagine ever getting off either one, hope I’m wrong.
