Can I mix Prozac, Trazodone, Alprazolam for my dog's anxiety?

Hi there. Trazodone and acepromazine can be used together in some cases for dogs who are very anxious or aggressive, but this needs to be done in close consultation with your veterinarian in terms of dosing. I would recommend discussing this with your regular vet to see if he/she feels that this would be safe for Augie, and to find out what specific doses would be recommended for him.

Serotonin syndrome is certainly possible with fluoxetine and trazodone together, or even just fluoxetine by itself, but what you're seeing with Luna does not sound like serotonin syndrome. With serotonin syndrome there's just too much of everything, too much energy, too much vomiting, too much diarrhea, too much muscle movement (tremors and seizures), too much pupil size. Sedation is an expected and desirable side effect of Trazodone, so in this situation I wouldn't worry. I would recommend giving a slightly smaller dose of trazodone tomorrow to see if that is enough to keep Luna calm. And always, if you're worrying about it and not sure, take Luna to an emergency clinic for an quick check in. Also, these two drugs are used together VERY commonly in veterinary medicine, but I don't think human doctors use them together, so you'll see lots of precautions against it while reading online. I hope that helps you feel better! Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hi there. I would be concerned with Hershey developing serotonin syndrome with concurrent use of trazadone and fluoxetine especially if you are giving them together often. It has to do with how the drugs are metabolized in the body and what receptors they work on. Side effects can be as you have listed, as with diarrhea, labored fast breathing, etc. I would try calling your doctor to discuss changing the dosages or weaning off the trazadone altogether. Hope this helps!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Yes, this medication works very well for anxiety. However, I do not recommend starting this unless it has been prescribed by your veterinarian to make sure that he is healthy enough to receive it. Have a great day!

It depends on what sedatives the veterinarian is planning to use. Do not give this medication without the approval of the veterinarian. There can be potential drug interactions. Call your veterinarian and they will tell you what to do. I hope this helps.

Yes, trazodone is often given daily to help with anxiety. There are many options however. The most common medication for separation anxiety is Fluoxetine. It's generally my first choice when I'm looking for a daily medication. I recommend to discuss this with your veterinarian. Also, medication by it's self is not likely to work. Exercise and behavioral modification are also needed.

Many medications work great in the beginning and then after some time they start to stop working to the same extent, in some cases the dosage can be upped to achieve the desirable effect, you need to contact your vet regarding this issue.
