A member asked:

Can you take diazepam with sertraline ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Tariq Halim answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Yes.: SSRIs (like sertraline) are commonly used with a benzodiazepine (like diazepam) initially because it takes the SSRI a few weeks to actually start working. Limit the use of diazepam due to the potential for dependence and tolerance.
