DV and others interested in why we gained the weight in the first place, My impression is that the zoloft interrupts our natural metabolism. That means that we do need to exercise and eat well even...
Hi all! Like Allybooboo, I'm trying to stay clear of putting anything else weird into my body. Still, I'm tempted by the idea of Relacore. If anyone else tries it and sees results, please let us...
Stillrecovering, Wow! You are a lucky person for sure! I'm wondering, have you noticed whether the Relacore really targets the stomach area? I've seen those advertisements too and always just thought...
Jaymay--I have had some of the symptoms of my anxiety return after having been on zoloft. However, I seem to be looking at the symptoms in a new way. I also did cognitive therapy for a while (in...
Hi everyone...I haven't been on the site lately, but just wanted to give an update. OK, so I tapered off of zoloft very slowly--for at least 9 months, but was completely off by the end of September...
Hi Allyboo, All bodies adjust to change differently, and I think that you should give your body much more time to get accustomed to the fact that it's not on zoloft anymore. Metabolism is a delicate...
Hi Jaymay and Allyboo, Thanks for your messages. During the first month that I was off of zoloft, I lost some weight--maybe 5 pounds or so. In the second month, I feel that I lost more weight. I am...
Dear Sapience, I am so sorry that you're going through this hard time. I also don't know of any online support groups. However, this forum has actually been supportive of me in my own endeavors to...
UC Dude...I knew somebody would tell me that! My point had more to do with the type of weight gain on zoloft--there may indeed be someone out there who knows what I'm talking about and has weird tips...
Well, I've lost a good amount of weight in the 7 weeks I've been off of Zoloft (about 10 lbs). That said, the weight that I gained was weird--it was very fatty and unlike any other weight I'd gained...
I've been off of Zoloft for almost 6 weeks now. Without major exercise (I walk every day and that's about it), and without dieting (I am a healthy eater so there are lots of veggies in my diet, but I...
Based on what my doctor has recently told me and on my own readings regarding the subject, I wouldn't agree that weight gain on zoloft has more to do with the fact that "everyone's metabolism is just...
ps. I don't know why an angry face came up on the last email!...
My update: I've been off of zoloft for 4 weeks straight and have lost 7 pounds . I'm hoping that there is a trend here and that I can drop the full 35 I gained while on the drug (was on for 2.5 years...
Hi Joyce, if you want my opinion, I say it's time to get off the zoloft. The drug screws up metabolism. Wean yourself off slowly so as to experience as little withdrawal as possible. Still, do not be...
It seems to me as if it takes the body a while to readjust metabolically after stopping zoloft. Exercising could only help kick up metabolism and help with the readjustment process. Molls' story is...
Margaret--are you off of zoloft now? I had been on it for 2.5 years and just got off 2 weeks ago (after carefully weaning myself off of it over a long period of time). I'm finding that weight is...
One of the weird things is the type of post-zoloft weight gain (fat) that I've got...yes, I'm worried about loose skin even if I do drop the pounds. If I may ask, have you found any tricks for this...
My psychiatrist advised me not to get off but I did anyhow. I tapered down from 150mg over a very long, slow 8 month period. I've been completely off of the drug for about 10 days now and feel fine....
I've always been thin, never had a weight problem, always been athletic and people have even envied my figure. Well, that all changed after Zoloft. I started the drug in March of 2003 and didn't...
