weight loss after zoloft

I can't tell you all how eye opening this thread has been for me!!  WOW!  I am another one of those "was always the skinny one".  I was having anxiety problems & depression after my dd was born.  I felt like I was out of control of my life due to so many major changes going on in my life at that time.  My husband had just got out of the military, we were first time homeowners, we just had a new baby, we were both changing jobs.  My doctor gave me a prescription for Zoloft in February.  My prescription is a 50mg daily dose.  It helped alot.  However, I have gained approximately 20 pounds in the past 9 months that I have been on this medicine.  I never thought that it was due to the Zoloft but it totally makes sense!  I have always been active in exercising and I eat a pretty healthy diet that excludes processed sugars, enriched flours, transfats & high fructose corn syrup.  I have been beating myself up for months thinking *I* must be doing something bad or wrong because I just keep gaining weight no matter what I do.  This morning I weighed myself and saw another gain and I thought, their has to be an answer to this.  I searched and found this site and several others that had other Zoloft users' experiences with weight gain.  It was actually motivating to realize that there is something that is attributing this weight gain.  I called my doctor this afternoon and left a voicemail telling him I am ready to taper off of the Zoloft.  I am at a much better place in life, I feel like everything has settled down & I feel alot more in control.  I am looking forward to being able to actually start seeing results from my healthy lifestyle.  I will keep you all updated and look forward to hearing updates from everyone else.

I think you should start a new thread,sometimes when they get long like this,and have been started so long ago they tend to get overlooked.
