How Can PTSD Be Treated?

I have PTSD and I am in Trauma therapy/counseling. My family doctor prescribed Xanax .25mg as needed (Usually I need 2x a day 50mg, or sometimes 3x a day =.75mg) I also take 20mg of Prozac and 50mg of lisinopril (Bp). I just bought some GABA 500mg tablets to help with the stress and hypersensitivity. Constant state of alam and startlement. I wanted to check and verify that I can take Xanax.50mg + Prozac 20mg+ GABA 500mg, without any negative interactions. Mycentral parasympathetic system/central nervous system is a mess. I know that the Xanax and Gaba might intensify the drowsiness and calming effect but is their any serious medical concerns.
