In reply to Taking Prozac for 3 weeks, benzos/stims don't work, posted by incubusfan5 on April 23, 2009, at 12:20:51
Nope. Valium is metabolized by 2C19 and 3A4.
If you feel the Valium doesn't work, it is probably because Prozac is very activating.
Not sure about the Adderall. I've taken Adderall and Prozac, and felt the Adderall's effects.

My doctor told me to be careful with the Valium and Prozac, as if the Valium would be more potent, but it seems to neutralize it entirely.
