> 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.

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.

I agree about asking the doctor about the prozac and geodon interaction. Justin, I think you are comparing regular Xanax to Klonopin. Xanax XR once a day is what is being taken. So switching to Klonopin wouldn't allow fewer doses a day. Klonopin is a good suggestion if it has not been tried previously.
