HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The length of time the medication needs to taken would depend on whether the medical conditions have resolved or no longer require drug treatment.
Some persons require medication for the long term.

The anti histamine and zoloft are not addictive and he is not likely dependent on these. It is possible for some persons to form an addiction to pain medication.

If you are concerned then you can consider speaking to him and his doctor who may be able to help with his current condition.

I hope this helps
