social phobia and GAD; alprazolam, which is helpful for panic disorder
and GAD; and lorazepam, which is also useful for panic disorder. Delavirdine should not be taken with the
following: alprazolam (Xanax), midazolam (Versed), triazolam (Halcion),
carbamazipine (Carbatrol, Tegretol, Tegretol XR), phenobarbital,
phenytoin (Dilantin), cisapride (Propulsid), cimetidine (Tagamet),

whose animal experiments in the mid-1970s showed that aspirin could
prevent the arterial blood clots that lead to heart attacks -- now
reports animal results suggesting that alprazolam adds to aspirin's
ability to stave off such clots. |
