Response from Dr. Horwath
After long-term use, drugs like benzodiazepines are stored in your body fat. For this reason, a sensitive drug test can still detect traces of bezodiazepines several weeks after your last use. This has nothing to do with taking Zoloft, which is a completely different drug.
