"i started on prozac (fluoxetine) after the deaths of my sister and mother in the same year, 5 months apart and i started taking 10mg with xanax but i still felt depressed.  my doctor put me on 20 mg a day with 1/2 of a 1 mg xanax and i feel a bit of relief, calmness, and no suicidal thoughts.  i found that when i skip a day or two, i start crying a lot.  prozac works for me along with xanax."
