Hello,

I am wondering whether medications for anxiety and depression (such as Zoloft) will show up on a drug test in Korea?

Ask your doctor.

I think my doctor told me that it is mainly benzos that show up on drug tests. Zoloft is not a benzo and I don't think it shows on a drug test.

Good luck.

From what I've heard they won't be looking for an SSRI such as Zoloft, but if you're taking a benzo like Xanax then yes it will show up.

No, they don't. The Korean drug test looks for opiates, cannabinoids, cocaine and amphetamines. Other drugs are usually prescribed or so rare it is not worth their time.

I pop Xanies all the time and have never had a problem.
