Can xanax and proventil agree with each other?

by Deb175, Oct 25, 2009 07:37PM
I take xanax for anxiety, I also have asthma. Can I take proventil with xanax? Also I heard Prozac is good for gettting off of xanax without withdrawl symtoms, is that true?

I take both and haven't had any problems. I couldn't imagine my doc prescribing both to me if there could possibly be any kind of interaction.

Hi, I use to take Klonapin which is like xanax and I use proventil. I never had a problem with it, but if you're worried you should ask your Dr. or pharmacist.

There are no contraindications between the two. However, it should be borne in mind that Albuterol (Proventil) is a sympathomimetic amine and beta-adrenergic agonist. It does possess prominent stimulating properties on the central nervous system (it is comparable in effect to adrenaline), and hence, may temporarily decrease the efficacy of Xanax and other Benzodiazepines by overriding their effects.

Should you notice excessive stimulation/nervousness following a dosage of Proventil, I would recommend switching to its isomer, XopeneX. XopeneX is a more selective agent with far fewer reports of anxiety/nervousness/jitteriness/palpitations, etc.
