Best Answer

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.

Can you take xanax while withdrawing from Effexor xr?

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.
