Is this drug considered to be a narcotic? I'm dealing with someone with an addictive personality and keeps going to docs and getting different types of drugs. I want to make sure this isn't in that sort of category. ## No, Thomas, this is an SSRI antidepressant that is used to treat various mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, and OCD.
