Zoloft is the brand name for Sertraline hydrochloride. It is in the SSRI drug class (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor). These drugs are believed to restore the chemical balance among neurotransmitters in the brain. These medications are prescribed to treat depression, OCD, PTSD and others by altering the uptake of seratonin.

Ativan can be stronger than Xanax. However, it depends on the milligram dosage. Both Ativan and Xanax are anti-anxiety prescription medications.

Xanax is more powerful. Zoloft is meant for people who should not take xanax, because they have a history of abusing drugs.
Ativan or Librium. Avoid Xanax.
No, and the family name is Benzodiazepine. Valium, Ativan, Xanax, and Restoril will show positive.
No, It is a SSRI. Benzo's are xanax and ativan.
Discuss this with your doctor.
I would consider the Xanax much stronger.
A person should not mix Ativan and Xanax. This is because the two drugs work with the body in the same way and could cause an overdose.
Yes, you can. As a matter of fact, my Dr. prescribed me Xanax solely for this purpose. I was on 150mg Effexor XR, and switched to Zoloft. The Xanax was to be used while tapering down the Effexor and then ramping up the Zoloft. The Xanax was a lifesaver dealing with increased anxiety while going through the Effexor withdrawal and waiting for the Zoloft to "kick in". Talk to your Dr., as I'm not one, but I think you'd be fine using the Xanax as a very temporary aid while going through the withdrawal.
