If you believe there is an interaction between the prozac and geodon, ask you psychiatrist next time you see him that you're worried. If he's even slightly knowledgable, I'm sure he would not have put you on a combo he thought would be potentially dangerous.
With regard to the xanax, perhaps something longer-acting like Klonopin would be better for you; it would require once or at most twice daily dosing and would cover your anxiety all day long. In my past experience, I wound up having to continually increase my dose of xanax from 1.5mg / day when I started to 5mg /day after two years. Eventually for unrelated reasons I stopped the xanax, and I am now in the process of waiting for an appt. with a new pdoc where I'm going to try to switch to Klonopin.
If the xanax is really working for you though, increasing it is far less likely to sedate you than geodon. If you are concerned about that, maybe ask or try to cut back on the geodon. What conditions have you been diagnosed with?Hope you feel better soon,
Justin
