A member asked:

Hi yes i take zoloft (sertraline) and i was wondering if it would show up as benzodiazepines in a hair follicle test the way it would in a urinalysis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes it will: If you are taking sertraline (Zolof) about one third of time will give false positive for benzodiazepines You should be truthful for job drug screening , if Rx ed medication , your condition will not hinder the job performance a note from your doctor is enough , and be truthful in your application.
