Hi. I am 43 years old and I am using Zoloft for my case of depression. I am not here to talk about my depression, but to see if Zoloft and Adderall have interactions. I am using Adderall for a diet as a appetite suppressor. So do they? I am getting kinda woozy from time to time so I think Adderall is the one to blame.

It is true. But what you didn't know is that Adderall is used as an antidepressant. So that means that you are taking double dosages of your medicine! They both contain stimulants, and since it is dangerous to drink them both, you should quit one of them. If you are already using Adderall as an appetite suppressor, you could stop taking Zoloft.

I've been on lexapro for about six months. This was given to me by my psychiatrist. (same drug class as zoloft-antidepressant) After more evaluation she also prescribed adderall for ADD. Obviously, if my doctor who specializes in this field has me taking them together it can't be that bad.

Also, I was on zoloft for a few years and it will cause serious weight gain no matter what you eat!!! (One of the reasons I switched to lexapro)If you would like any more details I will check back! Good luck to you!!!
