Many people find that to get the best effect from Xanax XR they have to take it twice daily rather than once daily like the manufacturer suggests. You could ask your pdoc to prescribe the 0.5 mg Xanax XR pills instead of the 1mg ones and you could take 0.5mg in the morning and 0.5mg in the evening (ie. every 12 hours). You'd still be taking a total of 1mg/24h and you might find that there's no need to increase your dose at all. This should help to keep a steady level of xanax in your blood and reduce your anxiety. It should also help to reduce the restlessness that you experience after taking Prozac because you will still have enough xanax in your bloodstream in the morning from the dose you took the night before.
It is important that you get the 0.5 mg tablets prescribed because you shouldn't cut the Xanax XR tablets in half. This is because they are controlled release tablets.
Don't worry too much about the Geodon because it's important to bear in mind that you only need to eat a very small amount of food with it.
Hope this helps...
