Answer by Abbssss
According to a study of 1081 US residents aged over 11 years who had used cocaine for the first time within 24 months prior to assessment, the risk of becoming cocaine-dependent within 2 years of first use (recent-onset) is 5-6%; after 10 years, it increases to 15-16%. These are the aggregate rates for all types of use considered, i.e., smoking, snorting, injecting. Among recent-onset users, the relative rates are higher for smoking (3.4 times) and much higher for injecting. They also vary, based on other characteristics, such as sex: among recent-onset users, women are 3.3 times more likely to become addicted, compared to men; age: among recent-onset users, those who started using at ages 12 or 13 were 4 times as likely to become addicted, compared to those who started between ages 18 and 20.

Answer by Scott K
maybe. zoloft is an antidepressant. abilify is an adjunct for people who aren’t responding completely to an antidepressant.
Answer by ransomher
No! Antidepressants should never be prescribed for bipolar patients. Some studies show that antidepressants don’t help or hurt people who suffer from bipolar. However, it’s been my experience that antidepressants actually hurt (mess with your brain chemistry) bipolar patients.
