A member asked:

What is one medication i can taken that is not addictive to treat anxiety&depression? or 2 that can take together also not addictive?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

SSRI: Medications such as Zoloft (sertraline) belong to a group called SSRI which are used in depression/anxiety cases and they are not addictive but their use must be supervised by a MD and they need to be tapered off gradually when symptoms improve ... I suggest you see your PCP for getting into any treatment options ..
