Detailed Answer:
Dear Batkins,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I have gone through the details provided in query and understand your concerns.

Gaba supplements and l theanine can be taken along with prozac and other current medications as there is no contraindications for doing same.

Having said this I must also inform you that other than supplements you need to have regular exeecise to keep your depression and anxiety under control.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
