can you take zoloft with adderall if you are taking zoloft for panic attacks?

I would definitely not recommend it since Adderall is a stimulant and can cause a panic attack in a panic-prone person. There are better meds to combine with Zoloft if you have panic problems along with attention problems. I personally feel that Adderall is too powerful a stimulant to be used in a panic-prone person but I am not a pharmacist (only a psychology graduate student who took psychopharmacology and loved it). Please ask your doctor or better a pharmacist before taking that combination. I doubt it would be fatal but it could cause a panic attack and would not likely be helpful in any way.

It is really important that you ask a doctor that.
On my Adderall package, I do believe it said to not take it with an anti-depressant. You are not supposed to take a stimulant (adderall) and a depressant(zoloft) together. Among the various negative effects from it, it is very bad for your heart, because it will get confused on the speed it is supposed to be pumping the blood. You really should not take them at the same time unless you talk to a doctor

Only your doctor/s can anwer this properly. It might be done, but Adderall especially, is quite powerful.

Why are you asking this under alternative medicine? This is serious medicine, not an alternative.
