Is Zoloft a Srri?
Zoloft (sertraline chloride) is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) used to treat a variety of psychiatric disorders, including depression, PTSD, OCD, social anxiety disorder and panic attacks. Zoloft works by balancing the levels of serotonin, a hormone that controls mood, in the brain.

Are SNRIs better than SSRIs?
The best medicine to treat depression varies from person to person. SNRIs tend to be more effective than SSRIs, but some people will find that SSRIs are more effective for them. A physician or psychiatrist can discuss your health history and symptoms to determine whether an SSRI or SNRI is best for you.
What is the strongest SSRI?
Paroxetine is the most potent SSRI drug available, but it is less selective for SERT than fluvoxamine and sertraline. Paroxetine also has weak NET inhibition which could contribute to its efficacy in depression, especially at higher doses.
Do SNRI increase anxiety?
The immediate effect of SNRIs, like SSRIs, is sometimes to increase anxiety, so they, too, may need to be started gradually. Anxiety reduction occurs after a week or 10 days.
Why would you use a SNRI over an SSRI?
Whereas SSRIs impact your levels of serotonin, SNRIs impact the levels of both serotonin and norepinephrine. Aside from treating depression, SNRIs are sometimes used to treat other conditions, including anxiety disorders and chronic pain, especially chronic nerve pain.
