xanax prozac and nonalcholic beer

[hazyworld]

Im on 3 mg of xanax and 40 mg of prozac my dr told me i could have occasional beer with these meds....over the years i have been on ativan or klonopin and drank non alkie beer it does have 0.5 percent alchol by volume and had no affect..i also drank it while on abilify,risperdal.and celexa over the past two yeaars...........so is it ok to drink it with the xanax and prozac........i had a couple i and i thought i got a buzz..which has never happened when i was on ativan or klonopin.could it be my imagination? several pharmamsits have said its ok to drink some with xanax and prozac.........years ago i drank real beer with xanax every day and i mean alot of beer and nothing ever happened...and is it safe to take vitamin d with prozac and xanax

I don't think splitting the dose will make your mood worse.  I would think if anything it would help stabilize it.  That's how it works with anti-anxiety meds anyway.
I think they say to give ssri's about six weeks.
I think you're right to be concerned.  Have you tried psychotherapy?  That could also be quite beneficial.

it is  okay to drink nonalcoholic beer with those two medications .it is okay to take vitamin D.you have to be careful with alcohol, especially because of the Xanax.  I think you may have given me the wrong dose.  That is a very large dose of Xanax
