The most interesting thing I learned is that we let people who need Zoloft on the ISS. The FAA will disqualify you for that unless you jump through hoops.

My guess is they stock it in case someone needs it during the mission. Not that they are sending people who are already taking it.

If somebody needed it during a mission it would take at least 2 weeks to take effect. Those drugs are not usually prescribed for acute mental issues.
