Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You are on Prozac or Fluoxetine and the drug is a SSRI drug. Xanax is benzodiazepine and is known to cause drowsiness. Prozac doesn't cause drowsiness. The persistent tiredness you are having is most probably occurring due to persistent depressive symptoms. In my opinion dose adjustments and increasing the dose of Prozac should help to reduce your symptoms. Amphetamines can help to increase activity levels but they are known to cause dependence and result in development of tolerance. Adderall, Concerta etc are commonly used but I don't advise you for these drugs as they are highly addictive. For increasing day time alertness drugs like Modafinil or Armodafinil can help. These drugs are safe and are free of abuse potential. Please consult your psychiatrist for prescription.

Thanks, I hope this helps you. Take care
