A member asked:

Is it ok to take ativan with zoloft (sertraline)? if yes how far should they be taken apart from each other?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Those medications/classes are used together. There isn't a "best" time to take them, I would just take them as written by your doctor. Best of luck!
