Is one able to mix Prozac with Olanzapine? Any danger in that?

This is what I found from My Insurance Drug Interaction Site:

<font color="red"> 1 potential interaction was found for the drugs you selected. </font>

You searched for interactions between the following drugs:

Olanzapine
Prozac

(Note: Not all drug interactions are known or reported in the literature, and new drug interactions are continually being reported. This information is provided only for your education and for you to discuss with your personal healthcare provider. )

OLANZAPINE may interact with FLUOXETINE (in Prozac)

Fluoxetine may inhibit the breakdown of olanzapine in the body thus increasing the amount of olanzapine in the bloodstream. Based on available data, no special precautions are necessary if these medications are used together. You may want to ask your healthcare provider about this potential interaction if you think you are having problems.

This interaction is poorly documented and is considered minor in severity.
