Buspirone's chemical structure and mechanism of action are completely unrelated to those of the benzodiazepines, nor does it have an efficacy comparable to that of members of the benzodiazepine family, such as diazepam (Valium) in treating GAD.[2][3] Unlike the benzodiazepines, buspirone shows no potential for addiction or dependence, and the development of tolerance has not been observed. Furthermore, cross-tolerance to benzodiazepines, barbiturates, and alcohol, as well as other GABAergics, is not present either.

Does Prozac make Xanax stronger?

Prozac is an SSRI, a specific serotonin reuptake inhibitor. Xanax is a sedative. Prozac works by slowing the breakdown of serotonin, therefore increasing the quantity in the synapse and your brain. Xanax works by slowing down the nerve impulses (I think). One doesn't make the other stronger, but prozac might get metabolized first by the liver, causing an increase in blood xanax levels. Talk to your pharmacist.

Would it be ok to take a xanax with 220mg Prozac to help a 1st time flyer how many xanax would you need and how long before takeoff should they be taken?

I dont see why there would be a problem since there is only a once or twice dose of xanax, but it very addictive so be carefull. One .05 tablet should be good if you never use xanax. Then one for the return flight. I dont think 1mg is appropriate if you dont have a tolorance.
