Accepted Answer

Pharmacist: Your pharmacist can be very helpful in answering this question or any other questions about your medications. I would be concerned about taking Zoloft along with phentermine as I would be worried about possible hyperactivity or agitation with this combination. I would defer to the opinion of the pharmacist or your psychiatrist,if you are being treated by one,however.
