Does Zoloft have the same effect as Xanax?

Zoloft,

Although they belong to different group of drug class they both can be used for certain specific "conditions", zoloft as anti depressant has a wider spectrum for treatment of more disorders than xanax. And it is not addictive , although, like most medications, both have benefits, risks, and withdrawals.

Now xanax being a benzodiazepine, is highly addictive (many people abuse this substance), I take it and when I forget or miss a dose, I immediately feel withdrawal symptoms. Plus I have to take 6 mg Extended Release due to the short life span of the drug.

Zoloft
