My dog accidentally ingested zoloft should I take any precautions the dog is a 5 year old chihuahua and she weighs around 12lbs she took less than .25mg?

According to http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/sertraline-zoloft/page1.aspx, Zoloft is actually prescribed for dogs at doses of 1.25-2.5 mg/lb, so a dose of 25 mg (I'm assuming that's what you meant), is within that range. In general, Zoloft is supposed to be a pretty safe drug in humans with little chance of overdose. Nevertheless I would at least consult with a veterinarian, and closely monitor the dog's behavior. You should probably especially look out for hypercativity as this might be something like a canine version of Seratonine Syndrome, a potentially lethal side effect that can occur in humans.

What does Zoloft show up as on a drug test?

No.

It is very unlikely for one drug to cause a false positive on a drug screen for any other substance. Drug screens test for metabolites of specific drugs. All drug tests have a rating based on specificity and sensitivity. The higher the sensitivity, the lower the specificity. Basically it is only possible to have a false positive by using another drug that is very chemically similar to the positive test. These drugs are not chemically similar.

Is trazaodone or zoloft a benzodiazepine My daughter's urine test is positive for benzodiazepine?

Neither one seems to have any connection with benzodiazepine. Is she on a sleeping pill? Also the general test that tests positive for benzodiazepine is basically a screening test. Benzodiazepine is an acceptable prescription medicine for a few weeks for specific conditions. Long term, it has horrible effects. She may have been on it for a specific reason for a week or two and a little could still be in her system. Two medicines could cause a false positive. Only a more specific but more expensive test could tell for sure.

How bad is zoloft?

In my opinion Zoloft is the worst antidepressant drug because:

-is the oldest one

-has a lot of dangerous side effects like suicidal thoughts or birth defects (PPHN, heart disease, cleft palace etc)

-the recommend dosage is high ( 100 mg per day)

-is lethal for teens.

So if you want to take this drug think twice and try to avoid antidepressant drugs.

Sincerely,

David
