Adderall/Zoloft: Adderall (dextroamphetamine and racemic amphetamine) is not for depression. If both prescribed by same doctor, then it should be safe.

Per Drugs.Com drug: interaction checker > Adderall (amphetamine / dextroamphetamine) plus Zoloft (sertraline) may ^ risk for serotonergic syndrome. May also ^ side effects of nervousness, anxiety, racing thoughts and restlessness. However, it is usually safe together. Adderall is not an antidepressant.
