It goes without saying that Xanax is a potent drug which cannot be consumed with a number of tablets and even with alcohol. Xanax can make the alcohol experience more intense. So, it should be kept away from such patients. So also if one is taking drugs like oral contraceptives too, this is applicable. Grapefruit juice is another strict No-No. Other drugs which are prohibited along with Xanax include anti-depressants (some of them) and tablets for treating the central nervous system.
