Im so glad i have found this page , reading other peoples experiences on Stertraline . In October last year i was prescribed stertraline from my doctor i was put on 50mg . I didnt really experience many side effects and after being on them for a few weeks i felt more relaxed and slept well . However about November/December time i started to notice my weight going up , my clothes were feeling tight , before taking the tablets i was about 8stone and fairly active i always eat well no junk i did 2 to 3 circuit classes a week so started to feel unhappy about the weight gain . Towards December i went back to the doctors for a review where i explained that i felt fine on the tablets i was sleeping really well at night bu apart from that i didnt fell much different ,other than having really bad memory and sometimes not being able to get my words out !! i did say to her that id noticed my weight going up but she said it wouldnt be the tablets , so she increased my dose to 75g , looking back now i 100% feel this is where my weight just shot up , in January this year all of my clothes esp my jeans didnt fit i put it down to christmas even though i still didnt eat too much over the christmas period . I lost interest in doing any classes for a few weeks . I followed a diet and joined a bootcamp in January we got weighed and measured it was for 4 weeks i did 3 to 4 classes a week and also ran some weeks 7 miles when i got weighted at the end i had put 2 pound on ! You can imagine how frustrated ths made me as i stuck to the diet 100% . Again i still carried on trying to not let this put me off ,until i decided to take the plunge and get on the scales my weight was 9stone 11pounds !!! i was so upset , after reading forums like this on the internet i decided to come of Stertraline i took my last tablet 2 weeks ago . I have felt light headed and sick also had bad night sweats , i really wish id of read up about stertraline beofore i took them , they are so not worth it . My weight still hasnt changed im drinking more water than ever had a few personnel training sessions , trying to do 2 classes a week i also walk the family dog alot . My main concern now is how long until i see my weight drop ? can anyone share any success stories ?? Thank you XX
