Drug Interactions Between Accutane, Keppra And Xanax. Have Panic Attacks, Seizures And Cystic Acne. Worry?
I m wondering if there are any drug interactions between accutane, keppra & xanax . I take the keppra for my grand mal seizures, the xanax for my panic attacks and the accutane for my cystic acne but I ve read that the xanax & keppra aren t a good match. Is there another fast acting anti- anxiety medication I can talk to my doctor about?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
There are no significant interactions between the drugs you are taking- Keppra (levetiracetam), Xanax (alprazolam) and accutane (isotretinoin). So, you can safely continue to take them.
For anxiety, you can also take clonazepam instead of alprazolam.
Best wishes,
