Brief Answer:
can be used together

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are no known significant interactions between any of the drugs mentioned above.

It is slightly possible that the alprazolam can have a slight bp lowering effect and therefore augment the action of the atenolol. This effect is not likely to be significant.

You can safely use these medications together.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
