Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There might not be interactions to significant extent between Xanax and concerta but still one has to be careful in using medications at a time. But, Clonidine and Xanax may have additive effects in lowering your blood pressure. You may experience headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, and/or changes in pulse or heart rate. These side effects are most likely to be seen at the beginning of treatment, following a dose increase, or when treatment is restarted after an interruption. So, it's better you think twice regarding the need of starting on Xanax. Xanax also have addictive properties I am done using Xanax for 2 months a person can get addicted to that.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
