A member asked:

Can crushing zoloft (sertraline) be similiar to meth?

Dr. Eric Weisman answered

Specializes in Neurology

Nobody knows: Zoloft (sertraline) was not meant to be crushed. This would increase the surface area and absorption rate. Crushed Zoloft (sertraline) and Methamphetamine fall into the category of things I would not try. Not even in Seattle.
