I agree with heyjude, I took Prozac for several years with excellent results and no sleepiness. It could be that the xanax is too much for you.

I've taken prozac and had no sleepiness day or nite, but, everyone is different....I would tend to think the Xanax would make you sleepy.  I cannot take Xanax, I have terrible hallucinations on Xanax.  Your should adjust to the new doseage in a week or 10 days.  Prozac helped me for years but after several years the effects quit working for me.  I did really good on Prozac....a really good medication.
