A member asked:

Why did my doctor put me on lexopro & zoloft (sertraline) at the same time?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Combining antidepres: Many people will need a combination of antidepressants to address their symptoms, just like many people will need two or more blood pressure medications to control their blood pressure. Lexapro (escitalopram) and Zoloft however work by the same mechanism, so we usually do not combine them.
